dragging of inertial frames [′drag·iŋ əv ə¦nər·shəl ′frāmz] (relativity) A relativistic effect whereby, loosely speaking, a spinning body drags space around with it; this causes a gyroscope in orbit about the earth to display a precession distinct from the geodetic precession. Also known as frame dragging; Lense-Thirring effect. How to thank TFD for its existence?
