摘要
We define a new parameter 'cumulative drag index' for a particle in circular orbit in a stationary, axisymmetric gravitational field and study its behaviour for the two well known solutions of general relativity, namely the Kerr spacetime and the Godel spacetime, wherein the inertial frame dragging has an important role. As it shows similar behaviour for both co- and counter-rotating particles, it may indeed be an indication of the influence of the faraway universe on local physics and thus Machian.
