Gravity Probe B was blasted into space from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on a Boeing Delta 2 rocket and will orbit the Earth for more than a year. The $700 million joint mission between Nasa and Stanford University, conceived in 1958, uses four of the most perfect spheres ever created inside the world's largest Thermos flask to detect minute distortions in the fabric of the universe.....Sir Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, said: "The project's a technical triumph, and a triumph of the persistence and lobbying power of Stanford University. But its gestation has been grotesquely prolonged, and the cost overruns have been equally gross. I recall hearing a talk about the project from Francis Everitt (principal investigator) when I was still a student - and it was already well advanced. "Back in the 1960s the evidence for Einstein's theory was meagre - just two tests, with 10 per cent precision. But relativity is now confirmed by several tests, with precision of one part in 10,000. It's still, in principle, good to have new and different tests. But the level of confidence in Einstein's theory is now so high that an announcement of the expected result will 'fork no lightening'. "Moreover, if there's an unexpected result, I suspect most people will suspect an error in this very challenging experiment rather than immediately abandon Einstein: There's now so much evidence corroborating Einstein, that a high burden of proof is required before he'll be usurped by any rival theory. "So the most exciting - if un-alluring - outcome of Gravity Probe B would be a request by Stanford University for another huge sum of money to repeat it." Pentcho Valev pvalev@yahoo.com
