One of Einsteins predictions was the existence of a Gravitomagnetic field produced by a rotating object. It has now, for the first time, been measured in the laboratory. Much to everyone's surprise the effect is roughly one hundred million trillion times larger than expected. If confirmed by other labs, this is expected to shine new light on the modifications need for Relativity to be reconciled with Quantum Mechanics.
