Creationist cosmologies explain the anomalous acceleration of Pioneer spacecraft

by D. Russell Humphreys

A broad class of creationist cosmologies offer an explanation for the ‘Pioneer effect’, an apparent small Sunward anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. If a large volume of empty space surrounds the matter of the cosmos, so that the cosmos can have a centre of mass, then the matter is in a deep gravitational potential ‘well’. If space is expanding and spreading the matter outward, then the depth of the well is decreasing. According to general relativity, especially a new solution of Einstein’s equations derived in the Appendix (which also deals with Birkhoff’s theorem), the decreasing depth continuously shortens ‘radar’ distances within the well, causing the observed apparent acceleration. The magnitude of the anomalous acceleration implies the bottom of the potential well has not yet risen very far above the critical depth for gravitational time dilation. Thus the Pioneer effect supports the essentials of several creationist cosmologies: a centre of mass, expansion of space and recent time dilation. Big bang theorists, whose cosmology does not have a centre of mass, cannot use this explanation. As yet, they have no alternative theory upon which they agree....

To anyone truly interested in this subject, read “The Elegant Universe”. You can thank me later. It is a very readable treatise on physics from Newtonian to relativity to quantum mechanics (the two aforementioned be apparently mutually exclusive) to string theory.

The expansion of the fabric of space is accelerating from
an unknown force (dark energy). Maybe the expansion is
not only at cosmological distances but also locally in our
own galaxy and maybe even the space in our solar system.

Thanks for posting the article.

“Creationist cosmologies (could) explain the anomalous acceleration of Pioneer spacecraft “

(fixed it)

[GodGunsGuts]

I’ll go with that.

[UCANSEE2]

. Maybe the expansion is not only at cosmological distances but also locally in our own galaxy and maybe even the space in our solar system.

Expansion from every 'point' at the same time. Makes sense to me. Also seems to be the only way it could be.

Can they make predictions based on this theory?

[GodGunsGuts]

Yes. To include the anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft.

[GodGunsGuts]

Or....

[tacticalogic]

Yes. To include the anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft.

Prediction means they said it would happen before it was observed. Is that what happened?

[GodGunsGuts]

Nope. But their cosmologies do explain the anomaly, whereas Big Bang cosmology does not. You don't have to anticipate every eventuality to determine which cosmology explains something better.

Physicist, I said long ago relativity is something I've never studied (quantum gas-phase inelastic neutral atomic / molecular scattering theory).

Any comments on the cosmological "potential well" idea ??

Cheers!

[tacticalogic]

That’s fine. But please don’t tell me they predicited it if they didn’t.

Thank goodness!

For a minute there I was afraid I'd pinged you to your own thread!

Cheers!

Thanks for the ping!

I can think of dozens of questions I would like to ask that simply cannot be asked because the axioms that scientists use.

If we were near the center of the universe, what kind of effects would that have on time?

What about blue and red shift?

Could this have anything to do with the ‘Pioneer effect’?

<Evolutionary Scientist>
Nonsense! Everybody knows the Universe has no center!
</Evolutionary Scientist> (In honor of Coyoteman)

Ah yes, consensus must not be questioned.

(Thanks for the ping!)

[tpanther]

That’s fine. But please don’t tell me they predicited it if they didn’t.

Now that they've got the pioneer data and they can predict the next event, or make new predictions based on such data, would you like a ping?

The expansion of the fabric of space is accelerating from an unknown force (dark energy).

You choose to believe in unknown force that has never been observed, quantified or tested. It is a construct to get the Big Bang theory to work out.

I choose to believe in Jesus, God in the flesh, creator of all things, who lived, was crucified, dead and buried, an rose on the 3rd day to prove His claims, He is attested to in the words of the New Testament.

Who has more faith?

Colossians 1:15-17 reads "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Ultimately, Jesus is the one (not the inanimate force) that you seek!
