It is shown that Collas and Klein (ArXiv : 0811.2471 [gr-qc]) wrongly concluded that "negative frame dragging" phenomenon takes place at all finite $r$ and $z$ coordinate values . We argue that a test particle with zero angular momentum…
We study two type effects of gravitational field on mechanical gyroscopes (i.e. rotating extended bodies). The first depends on special relativity and equivalence principle. The second is related to the coupling (i.e. a new force) between…
