Gravitoelectromagnetism, abbreviated GEM, is a set of formal analogies between the equations for electromagnetism and relativistic gravitation. More specifically, it is an analogy between Maxwell's fi

…significantly shaped the way Maxwell's equations were understood and applied in the decades following Maxwell's death. Also, in 1893, he extended them to gravitoelectromagnetism, which was confirmed by Gravity Probe B in 2005. His formulation of the telegrapher's equations became commercially important during his own lifetime…
