Star Dragging Space-Time

At the very least, many of us are aware that space and time are related because of Star Trek. We refer to it as space-time because of this. In space, time slows down more the quicker you move. Even if it's all very interesting and mind-blowing, for the majority of us, it will always be science fiction or, at the absolute least, theoretical. But it's not necessary to be.

Any spinning body will drag space-time along with it as a result of a phenomenon known as frame-dragging, according to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Think of it as a whirlwind with space and time swirling about instead of water. Because the effect is so minute, it is quite challenging to see on a relatively tiny scale for anything like our planet.

White dwarf stars are the remains of once-massive stars and are 300,000 times heavier than Earth. White dwarf stars have been seen by researchers. It's also quick. On Earth, a day lasts for 24 hours, but on the white dwarf, it only lasts for roughly two minutes.

A pulsar is coupled with the white dwarf. Even though it is only the size of a city, this object is 400,000 times heavier than Earth because it is formed of neutrons that are firmly packed together. As a result of the radio waves it generates, which enable us to follow its orbit here on Earth, we have been able to determine that the pair of extremely dense stars are really dragging space-time along with them.
