Summary
The
Geodetic Effect
, also known as
Geodetic precession
, refers to the
Precession of a gyroscope's axis
due to
Spacetime Curvature
around a
Massive body
, as predicted by
Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity
. This effect has been experimentally confirmed by missions such as
Gravity Probe B
, providing crucial evidence for the
Curvature Of Spacetime
caused by
Earth's mass
.
