@IceWolf a *really weird* consequence of general relativity

extremely massive rotating objects (mostly rotating black holes) actually drag the space around them with their rotation--i don't mean they drag the objects near them, they drag the *space those objects are in*

@Felthry Oh /neat!/

We were expecting it to be a retro game speedrunning trick, hah. :P

@IceWolf nah, it's called that because it's dragging the frame of reference rather than dragging the objects
