Yea, I know I'm a nerd for finding this exciting.

I'm a nerd too, I guess, because I love reading these stories... very cool experiment to prove the theory.

I get all curious how they measured .039 of an arcsecond per year. That just wobbles my mind.

“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” – Albert Einstein

$1:

If Einstein had been wrong in his ideas then the gyros should have spun unhindered by external forces (pressure, heat, magnetic field, gravity, and electrical charges).

Einstein wins again!

pfff, I confirmed it years ago when I was a child watching the north star... I always ended up looking at the ground after some time.
