Except that it doesn't. It only proves that the gravity effect of a mass object is warping space, which we already knew from observations(black holes anyone?). Proving General and Special relativity is another matter entirely(pun intended).Space-warping star system proves Einstein's general theory of relativity right
No. It's not warping. It's called frame-dragging. This is the first observational evidence of white dwarf + pulsar pair frame-dragging. Frame-dragging caused by black hole will be detected in the future.Except that it doesn't. It only proves that the gravity effect of a mass object is warping space, which we already knew from observations(black holes anyone?). Proving General and Special relativity is another matter entirely(pun intended).
In the case of stars orbiting close to a spinning, supermassive black hole, frame dragging should cause the star's orbital plane to precess about the black hole spin axis. This effect should be detectable within the next few years via astrometric monitoring of stars at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
We can call it whatever we desire, it's still only a mass/gravity object distorting the space around it. While this might be the first occurrence where we have identified what we have observed, it doesn't prove the fundamentals of Relativity, either mathematically or in theory. It does offer a fascinating piece of the puzzle, but it's not a keystone.No. It's not warping. It's called frame-dragging.
