So you are saying that if you have a mass moving in space this space acquires extra mass?

  so empty space on a galactic scale might have measurable weight?? emtpy space does have energy and energy equals mass

  Basically, yes. But what it is really doing is "dragging" the space time frame of reference around. An analogy that might be applicable; Let's say you were pulling on a rope, and someone else was providing a counter pull. You would feel a force F pulling against you on the rope. Now if someone started pulling on the rug that the other person was standing on away from you, you would feel a force F' which felt stronger than the force you felt when no one was pulling the rug. If I understand the concept of graviomagnetism as presented in the paper correctly (and there is certainly a big possibility that I do not!) then the motion of mass through spacetime creates a gravity field like the wake of a boat through water. And presumably this is a source of gravity waves when two black holes are orbiting each other.

    How about charge, in what situation do things repel?

      When they spin in the same direction. Spinning creates the effect similar to magnetism.
