Einstein’s Frame-Dragging Effect: A New Quantum Experiment Could Test General Relativity

Scientists are developing a quantum gyroscope using superfluid helium-4 to detect Earth’s subtle frame-dragging effect, predicted by Einstein’s general relativity.

By operating at extremely low temperatures, this proposed sensor aims to reduce thermal noise and measure tiny rotational signals through quantum phase differences. Could this technology open new ways to test gravity, explore the relationship between space and time, and probe the limits of modern physics?
