Where they launched two satellites with the most perfect gyroscopes ever built to measure if the earth's gravity affects spacetime (or something like that). Any clarifications on the experiment would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, thanks, Cirric. Precisely the answer I was looking for. No results yet. It looks like it's going to take another year for any results to come in. It will be amazing if they get results. The implications are astounding. The fabric of empty space would be "something" after all. That ought to give superstring theory a shot in the arm.
