Five of the space probes that have been sent out to our
Solar System reveal that our current understanding of
gravity may be incorrect. It seems the sun, in these cases,
exerts a stronger gravitational force than our current
conception of gravity suggests.
The new theory presented on this website can resolve this
mystery as well.
In previous chapters this new theory showed that we must
make a distinction between two different ways that gravity
affects space.
|

|
|
One of those ways considers the situation as two bodies
approach one another. As this occurs, the space between
those bodies becomes increasingly contracted. This
increasing contraction causes the acceleration due to
gravity in that space to decrease proportionately.
Unfortunately, this decrease has misled us. We have been
blinded by this decrease, so much so, that we have failed to
consider that other factors may be at work.
|
|

|
|
The situation we
must consider is that of bodies in orbit, and the
gravitational effects which arise in the region of space
encircled by such bodies."
Space will, in this case, become increasingly contracted as
one moves towards the centre of the orbit. This leads to a
gradual increase in the acceleration due to gravity as one
approaches the centre.
Gravity exhibits properties of a domino-like effect, where
each successive contraction leads further contraction in the
adjacent region. This results in an extremely large
gravitational force at the infinitesimal centre of the orbit
(focus).
It is this principle that give rise to the Pioneer Anomaly.
|
|

|
|
The centre of a solar system gains gravitational force
from the planets which orbit around it. It may sound
strange, but the planet’s gravitational force remains
unchanged.
The orbiting masses of the solar system (planets) are
not evenly distributed around the sun. This distribution
makes the simple acceleration due to gravity formula
difficult to apply. The method for setting up the
formula will be shown below, and is in fact rather
simple.
Before we do that, it is necessary to take a deeper look
into the notion of a ‘gravitational domino effect’.
|
|
|
|
The space inside ring 'A' (see
illustration above) is affected to the
same extent as each of the successive
rings (B and C). That is; the total
gravitational force for rings A, B, and
C are the same (see calculation below).
|
Ring A -
Square 2x2=42M
- 12M
= |
= |
32M |
|
Average force of gravity.
- 100m/s2
- 25m/s2
= 75m/s2
/ 2 |
= |
37,5m/s2
|
|
The total amount of gravity
affecting space - 37,5m/s2
x 32M |
= |
112,5m2/s2 |
|
Ring B
- Square 4x4=162M
- 42M
= |
= |
122M |
|
Average force of gravity
-
25m/s2
- 6,25m/s2
= 18,75m/s2
/ 2 |
= |
9,375m/s2
|
|
The total amount of gravity
affecting space
- 9,375m/s2
x 122M |
= |
112,5m2/s2 |
This equivalency continues
throughout the entire universe.
(Actually the value "112.5
m2/s2"
is incorrect. The correct value is
"100m2/s2"
because the curvature due to gravity
does not decrease evenly. However,
this correction is beyond the scope
of this discussion)
|
|
The table below shows how the radius changes with each successive
ring.
Each ring’s radius is twice that of the preceding ring. Each time a
rings radius doubles we know that gravitational force decreases by a
factor of 4.
But as showed above, the total amount of gravity affecting space
remains the same throughout all the rings.
It is important understand that gravitational force is unchanging as
one moves towards, or away, from the centre of the rings. This is
what is intended to be understood as a ‘domino-like effect’. The
gravitational force continues to ‘repeat itself’; again and
again, forever.

Let us assume that the mass of the earth
is distributed homogeneously, like a
huge blob of matter, within the confines
of ring 40.

According to the prevailing
understanding, we would expect the
gravitational force to decrease as
one moves outward through rings
further from the centre (e.g. to
ring 41). The new theory does not
reject this claim.
But the prevailing understanding
would claim that we should not
expect the acceleration due to
gravity, as one moves inwards,
(towards ring 39) to increase. However,
this increase is predicted by our
new theory. This apparent paradox
can be logically reconciled. As
one moves inwards, gravity increases
by 75% for each successive ring,
simply because space in that ring
has decreasing by exactly the same
factor (75%).
We can say that when space is
ensnared by an orbiting body, a
domino-like effect will continue
towards both inner and outer space.

This is explicitly stated in the formula
of gravitational acceleration. If we
do not augment the current formula we
should have no problem understanding the
increasing nature of space curvature
towards the centre of a planets orbit.

An increasing gravitational field
requires that matter encircle, or
trap, space.
In other words, at the moment that all
the planets of our solar system are in
line, and thereby not ‘trapping’ the
systems central region, there will be no
central gravitational effect and hence
no Pioneer Effect. This prediction
makes it possible to put the new theory
to the test.
It also means that, even though Jupiter
contributes with a magnitude similar to
the other planets, most of this
contribution is 'wasted'. This occurs
because gravity must
homogeneously encircle (or trap) the
central region of the solar system if
any additional force is to arise.
Variations in the extra central force of
gravity are therefore expected. This
value will vary with the planets
relative locations, and how well their
motions encircle a region of space.
It is also expected that the inner solar
system will exhibit gravitational
anomalies that reflect each planets
contribution. This is what the data
from the space probes is really showing
us.

The big question remains….How can we quantitatively test this
theory?
The planets acceleration due gravity that reaches the centre of the
sun will reflect the collective force of gravity exerted by all
planets in our solar system. The extent of contribution from
different planets varies significantly from planet to planet. The
influence of 3 planets Mars, Neptune, and Uranus contribute very
little, and are therefore deemed insignificant for the purposes of
our calculation.
The force exerted by Jupiter is strong. Jupiter alone could
'counteract' the gravity of several other planets, granted the
planets be arranged in an appropriate fashion. Jupiter is, in fact,
too strong and part of its contribution will not be used at all.
The most significant contribution is from only a few planets,
namely: Venus, Earth, Saturn, and Jupiter. Mercury, because of its
close proximity to the sun’s centre, contributes to a much greater
extent than one would predict.
|
|
The planet’s contribution to the
gravitational force at the centre of the
solar system depends not only on the
strength of individual planets
contributions, but on how well the
planets 'cooperate'. |
