Astronomers Title: A Shapiro delay detection in the binary system hosting the millisecond pulsar PSRJ1910-5959A Authors: A. The great scientist made an even more profound impact on physics with his theory of general relativity, replacing Newton with a better model for gravity. TVF's Speed of Gravity paper undercuts special relativity. Shapiro time delays are one of the four tests of general relativity possible in the solar system. We discovered this by looking at the white dwarf Sirius B experimentally in astrophysics (other people have done laboratory experiments). If gravity did not affect space and time, Gravity Probe B's gyroscopes would point in the same direction forever while in orbit. Sirius B is a white dwarf orbiting the brightest star in our northern hemisphere sky, Sirius. Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity.

There are many news article on the latest report from Gravity Probe B stating how the results are consistent with predictions from Einstein's General Relativity (see here, here, and here).

To test Einstein's theory of general relativity, Gravity Probe B must measure two minuscule angles with spinning gyroscopes, floating in space. That the Global Positioning System undercuts general relativity. Bethell made three claims in this 1999 article, using TVF as his primary source: A. €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.
