摘要：

We compare an explicit expression for the precession of a gyroscope in the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor general relativity theory with the result derived by Schiff using Einstein's theory, and suggest that the gyroscope experiment offers the best possibility for testing the Brans-Dicke theory. Further, we conclude that the gyroscope in a satellite offers a more sensitive test than the earth-bound gyroscope. © 1968 The American Physical Society.
