Is frame dragging accelerating asteroids or cometes that after passing fairly close to the gravitational source move away?

What is interesting but also confusing for me,if this is true, is that if frame dragging somehow gives a'kick' to a highly elliptical orbiting object it seems that this object cannot orbit for so long ...

If a very massive object enters in a rotating black hole retrograde orbit should it slow down the black hole's spin?

If a very massive object is orbiting retrograde around a rotating black hole, would it slow down the black hole's spin? Of course, due to its interaction with the black hole's rotating frame, better ...

The Sun bends planets' trajectory and speeds up it towards the perihelion; does it both actions with light? [duplicate]

The Sun bends planet's trajectory and speeds up it towards the perihelion; does it both actions with light? If it speeds up light too, then does it mean that gravity is a consequence of a vortex that ...

Does the gravitational distortion of a black hole depend of its rotation?

I would like to know if there is a difference produced by the added spin of a black hole to its gravitational space-time distortion. I am considering the distortion of space-time from a point far ...

Frame Dragging by Sag A star

Is frame dragging by the supermassive black hole Sag A responsible for the milky way's rotation? If so would we also be part of time dilation depending on how close we are to Sag A? Is the gravity ...

Does Earth-spin affect the retrograde orbital motion of artificial satellites?

If frame-dragging is true then how the retrograde satellites orbit in the opposite direction to the earth spin direction?
