MACROSCOPIC ROTORS AND GRAVITATIONAL EFFECTS

Abstract
Astronomical bodies have, in the past, provided essentially the only macroscopic basis for studies of gravitation by means of rotations. Now new technology provides the possibility that laboratory rotors may be made more precise than astronomical ones. This article surveys the properties of some of both types of rotors and describes several laboratory experiments for tests of General Relativity.
