qroqqa commented on the word gravito-magnetism
Tajmar invokes an effect called "gravito-magnetism" as a way of doing this. According to general relativity, the mass of a rotating body will drag space-time around with it, putting a twist into it. Just as a spinning charge creates a magnetic field, a spinning mass creates a gravito-magnetic field.
