I have heard of rotational frame dragging.

OnlyMe,
You could just link me to the Wiki article.
A question also can be asked , as to ; " why spinning mass or speeding mass causes frame-dragging ? " .
It's science blasphemy to answer though.
Actually that guy in your avatar had an idea called General Relativity that predicted frame dragging.
Which illustrates the difference between you and Einstein.So did I, but I can't say why in this thread, and Einstein had the same information that I have, but he changed the words to suit science.

He did science.
You don't.
Pincho, I'm always interested in hearing alternative theories unless your "methods not allowed" involves something supernatural. Feel free to PM me if you wishPincho Paxton said:Maybe, but I corrected Einstein's slight mismatch, and I had to do that with methods not allowed. Science fails when it forces you to stick to the standard model.

The resistive force you refer to relative to precession, is inertia or momentum?
An object will resist a change in its angular momentum both as an acceleration or deceleration. That would be expressed as inertia, but in itself I don't think it could be called a force intrinsic to the object.
An object's angular momentum does have an impact on its precession, and I guess in as much as linear momentum can be considered a force in some interactions, so too could an object's angular momentum. But for it to be considered a force there needs to be some external interaction. In the case of the angular momentum of a gyroscope or any object for that matter, once you set aside friction and any electromagnetic interactions,
what is the external interaction with?.., space itself?
Natural or supernatural ; science is always science .
'Spinning mass' causes 'frame - dragging ' or alters space . But, 'static mass' does not cause frame dragging . So, static mass does not alter space . Static mass only alters 'space-time' .
So, this can be said that ; " space and space-time are two different things . ".
In the realm of Physics, which is what we're discussing, "supernatural" is not Physical and is also not scientific. It is beyond study or explanation by definition.hansda said:Natural or supernatural ; science is always science .

Frame dragging is an aspect of the Lense-Thirring effect, that dates back to 1917, and earlier if you included the letters exchanged that led up to that.
Within the context of the Lense-Thirring effect, a gravitationally significant object not only produces frame dragging associated with its angular momentum, it also has a similar effect associated with its linear motion in space.
The frame dragging associated with angular momentum has been experimentally confirmed and though our current technology is unable to test for the linear effect, confirmation of frame dragging associated with an objects angular momentum, supports the existence of the linear effect.
I am uncertain whether the term, "frame dragging" is exclusively associated with an object's angular momentum or both the angular and linear effects, but the Lense-Thirring effects most certainly does involve both the angular and linear motion of objects in space.
Edit: From this perspective a non spinning object with any linear velocity in space would still drag space along with it.., weakly or very weakly. Since we can imagine no object that is in a state of "absolute" rest, all objects whether spinning or not must have some effect on space beyond the frame dragging effect associated with angular momentum and in addition to the geodetic effect or curvature of space we associate with gravitational interaction.
