I never said nobody was working on frame dragging science. I worked on the Gravity Probe B project myself. But I didn't see Hellings bring it up in the article.

If the connection was that obvious, why haven't these people made it? Remember, all I've got to go by is the articles. Don't forget, just because someone specialized in a subject doesn't mean they can connect the dots with other specializations.

Like I said, I popped an e-mail to Anderson. Maybe he'll write back and say "oh, yeah, that was obvious, but we discarded that idea months ago because the sigma-elvis force numbers don't match." But who knows?
