Einstein was right again. There is a space-time vortex around Earth, and its shape precisely matches the predictions of Einstein's theory of gravity.
愛因斯坦再次是正確的，有一個時空旋渦圍繞地球，及它的形狀正好符合愛因斯坦引力理論的預言。
Researchers confirmed these points at a press conference today at NASA headquarters where they announced the long-awaited results of Gravity Probe B (GP-B).
在美國宇航局總部研究人員今天在新聞發布會上證實這點，並宣布期待已久的重力探測器 B（GP-B）的結果。
"The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts," says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission.
“環繞地球的時空似乎被扭曲，就像廣義相對論所預言的，“斯坦福大學物理學家弗朗西斯埃弗里特說，重力探測器 B使命的主要研究者。
