Date of Publication (YYYY-MM-DD): 2008 Title of Journal: Physics Letters A Volume: 372 Issue / Number: 45 Start Page: 6711 End Page: 6716 Review Status: not specified Audience: Not Specified Abstract / Description: The equations of motion for matter in non-Riemannian spacetimes are derived via a multipole method. It is found that only test bodies with microstructure couple to the non-Riemannian spacetime geometry. Consequently it is impossible to detect spacetime torsion with the satellite experiment Gravity Probe B, contrary to some recent claims in the literature.
