To kick things off: what is frame dragging? It’s the phenomenon where an object in motion experiences a force that tries to keep it moving at its original velocity due to the rotation of space-time around massive objects like black holes or rotating galaxies. In other words, if you’re flying through spacetime and suddenly find yourself near a spinning galaxy, your spaceship will feel a pull trying to make you go faster in the same direction as the galaxy is spinning.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s get started with our tutorial! Here are some steps for confirming frame dragging:

1. Find a massive object like a black hole or rotating galaxy (optional). If you don’t have access to one in real life, you can always use simulations or models instead.

2. Observe the motion of an object near the massive object. This could be anything from a spaceship flying through spacetime to a piece of debris orbiting around a black hole. Make sure it’s moving at a constant velocity before entering the vicinity of the massive object.

3. Wait for the object to experience frame dragging. You should see it start to accelerate in the same direction as the rotation of the massive object, even if there are no other external forces acting on it. This is due to the curvature of spacetime caused by the mass of the black hole or rotating galaxy.

4. Measure the amount of frame dragging experienced by the object. You can do this using various methods such as measuring changes in velocity, acceleration, or angular momentum. Make sure you take into account any other factors that could affect these measurements, like gravitational lensing or time dilation effects.

5. Compare your results to theoretical predictions based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity. If they match up, congratulations! You have confirmed frame dragging in action.

6. Celebrate with a round of high-fives and fist bumps (optional). But seriously, this is a major scientific discovery that could help us better understand the nature of space-time and its relationship to massive objects like black holes or rotating galaxies.
