Matter moving through space-time can be thought of as creating a new force -- gravitomagnetism -- which John Wheeler, dean of relativists, describes as being "as different from ordinary gravity as magnetism is from electricity." The frame-dragging measurement detects this force and fixes its scale.

Commenting on its unverified status, Wheeler has said "It is hard to imagine a science so exposed for lack of evidence on a force so fundamental to the scheme of physics."..."

Quantum inequalities do not forbid spacetime shortcuts:

A class of spacetimes (comprising the Alcubierre bubble, Krasnikov tube, and a certain type of wormhole) is considered that admits “superluminal travel” in a strictly defined sense. Such spacetimes (they are called “shortcuts” in this paper)

I argue that the spacetimes of this type may not be unphysical at all.

By explicit examples I prove that
[]
(1) the relevant quantum inequality does not (always) imply large energy densities,

(3) large Etot- being physically meaningless in some relevant situations does not necessarily exclude shortcuts.

have developed conceptual tools they've dubbed tendex lines and vortex lines.
Using these tools, they have discovered that black-hole collisions can produce vortex lines that form a doughnut-shaped pattern, flying away from the merged black hole like smoke rings.

[Bemærk: Et stykke væk fra de storte huller vil gravidimserne "stråle væk" med ca. lysets hastighed]
The researchers also found that these bundles of vortex lines -- called vortexes -- can spiral out of the black hole like water from a rotating sprinkler.

Tendex and vortex lines describe the gravitational forces caused by warped space-time. They are analogous to the electric and magnetic field lines that describe electric and magnetic forces.

In either case -- doughnut or spiral -- the outward-moving vortexes and tendexes become gravitational waves -- the kinds of waves that the Caltech-led Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) seeks to detect.

The lines come in two varieties that capture two key properties of warped space-time.
One set describes the stretching and compressing forces that can rip apart and crush objects that venture near black holes. The team calls them tendex lines, based on the Latin word tendere, which means to stretch.
The other set of lines, called vortex lines, represent the twisting effects of warped space-time that would wring an object like a towel.
