Rest assured you relativity denier that the general theory is settled science. :) :)
"according to Einstein's theory, the difference is negligible" Negligible? Heck I got audited by the IRS for payroll difference of $1.47 between State and Federal on a 6 figure payroll. That should have been negligible too.
Quite often when measurements and theory do not match
the issue is the quality, accuracy and methodology of
the instrumentation and how they are used that are the
issue. This will need to be looked at long and hard.
It wasn’t all that long ago that the announcement that
a particle actually might be moving FTL....it was then
announced that NO....we effed up on the instrumentation.
Time will tell.
Friend of mine when I lived in NM was a Senior Research Physicist at John's Hopkins before I met him. He told me in the 1980's the laws of physics do not tie. He said there would be a rethinking of the assumptions because they could not account for the mass to energy theory. But I am not impressed at the "discoveries" of the "European Space Agency" and their measurements. This sounds like a "popular science" article.
Yahbut... when was the last time you heard that measurement and theory were off by 20 orders of magnitude across 450 experiments?
Einstein tried to describe gravity as a kind of a four dimensional differential geometry thing. There is no way to start with that and believe that gravity ever could have changed three or four to one near the surface of our own planet but it’s an easy demonstration that it has. The largest dinosaurs would be crushed by their own weight in our present gravity.
Interesting that they spun the superconductor at 6500rpm.
This is well within the operating range of many car engines.
I would have expected the rotation to have had to been much faster...
Global Warming.

Last time I heard of some weird results of spinning superconductors was from Podkletnov. He claimed to see gravity reduction of 2% above the superconductor.

Maybe they were measuring wind from the moving object, or something.
The hard drive on my computer spins at 7200rpm. 6500rpm is therefore no big deal.
17 mile circumference X 6500 revs/min = 110,500 mi/min
6,630,000 mi/hr

LOL!
It is when the path is 17 miles long....
NO. NO. NO. That's not how science is done nowadays. You first have a Hypothesis, then build a computer model then gather the data to test the model and if the data doesn't agree with the Hypothesis you " lose" the data and then call people Deniers who think your hypothesis is nuts.
I agree, but isn't it exciting to see scientist actually check and double check, improve methodology and instruments... then put the findings out to critical peer review! So refreshing after Global warming settled science.

***That’s why “science progresses one funeral at a time”. Einstein’s dead and cannot call these guys’ results nuts. What I do not understand is why this wasn’t totally jumped on with another replication measurement because any physicist who proves an aspect of Einstein’s theory wrong will have his name written in the history books.
Speaking of Bush, remember the Dems claim that under Bush, we were losing 750,000 jobs per month.
But now the Dems claim that being out-of-work is a good thing - lets one write poetry, or start a business, ...
So was that 750,000 lost jobs under Bush now a good thing?
Inquiring minds want to know?
