Hi All,
No doubt, many of you are wondering what became of Martin
Tajmars remarkable work for the ESA developing a bench top
frame-dragging experiment. Well, it seems Scott Little and associates
have decided to try a replication. You can find out more
about their efforts here.

Of immediate interest are bibliographies that include other
related research and some Q&A between George Hathaway and
Martin.

Unfortunately, the difficulty and expense of working with liquid He precludes
any easy experiments for us to do. But I'm delighted to see
Scott take a swing at this, it's begging for experimentalists to
jump in. Perhaps a little blue sky thinking might produce some
alternate experiment that _is_ easier to accomplish ( I could
see working with the He if I didn't need to physically rotate
the superconductor ).
