ESA – GSP – Towards a new test of general relativity?

Researchers in Australia have discovered the gravitational equivalent of electromagnetism, gravitomagnetism is stronger than it should be. Their experiment involved accellerating a spinning superconductor and placing small accelleration sensors near it. The result was the formation of a gravitomagnetic accelleration field outside the spinning superconductor. What’s really interesting is that this field is 100 million times larger than Einstein’s theory of General Relativity predicts! Why is this interesting, you ask? According to Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, the field strength should be negligible.
