The results from NASA’s Gravity Probe B satellite has now been completely analyzed and published in the physical review letters. The satellite mission was aimed at measuring the “frame-dragging” or gravitomagnetic effect that was derived from Einsteins general theory of relativity a century ago. The results verified Einsteins results to a high degree. It is remarkable that Einsteins general theory of relativity – now about a hundred years old – still remains the best theory of gravitation known to man.

Notes and comments jdmunkhammar 9:41 am
My paper “Canonical Relational Quantum Mechanics from Information Theory” was just recently published at EJTP (previously only on Arxiv). The editorial introduction reads:
“Munkhammar proposes an interesting connection between the Rovelli relational interpretation of QM, the Shannon information theory and Garrett Lisi universal action by introducing a specific entropy of quantum systems”
