Scientific paper

The use of highly accurate clocks is proposed to test the dragging of inertial frames by using the 'synchronization gap' and thereby testing the Lense-Thirring effect and/or gravitational radiation. The effect of synchronization is discussed in terms of special relativity and general relativity, and the detection of dragging of inertial frames is described. Because the moon is free of atmospheric drag at low altitudes, it presents a suitable environment for conducting the experiments described.
