Space-time Vortex: NASA + Einstein

This article was back on the 16th, I wonder what the results will be. May have to refesh this in a year.

November 16, 2005: Is Earth in a vortex of space-time?

We'll soon know the answer: A NASA/Stanford physics experiment called Gravity Probe B (GP-B) recently finished a year of gathering science data in Earth orbit. The results, which will take another year to analyze, should reveal the shape of space-time around Earth--and, possibly, the vortex.

Didn't it fly through a StarGate, and is now doing battle against cylons or something?

Hmm - I think I'm having trouble with the differences between science and science fiction....

There is no difference so long as the "science-fictiontists" can use taxpayer dollars to fund their "experiments."
