We use ElectroMagnetic Quantum Gravity (EMQG) to provide a simple physical model of the Lense-Thirring effect on the earth. The Lense-Thirring effect is a tiny perturbation of the motion of a free-falling particle near a massive rotating object, first calculated by the physicists J. Lense and H. Thirring in 1918 using general relativity. The Lense-Thirring effect can also be thought of as the 'dragging of inertial frames', as first named by Einstein himself. The amount of frame dragging varies with height above the spinning earth. Einstein's general relativity predicts the value of this effect near the earth, but the effect has not yet been accurately verified experimentally. However, recent work using the LAGEOS series, earth orbiting satellites has rendered an unconfirmed experimental value that agrees with theory to an accuracy of about 20 %. Our physical model is based on the disturbance of the electrically charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum in a state of free-fall near a massive spinning object. We calculate the Lense-Thirring effect on the earth's surface using this model that is in good agreement with the value derived from general relativity.
