8. The Pioneer Anomaly Dansk

 

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'.
