Shaking up Einsteins Theory[:] the Anomalous Acceleration of the Pioneers

Authors: Henk Dorrestijn

If we assume the Lorentz contraction in Einstein's theory is based on a misconception, we can understand the unexpected acceleration found when measuring the orbital motion of Pioneers 10 and 11. Rejecting the Lorentz contraction leads to a better understanding of the concept of velocity. The actual velocity of an object, when accounting for the time delay, turns out to be slightly greater than the traditionally determined velocity. The time delay in a gravitational field decreases with distance so the actual velocity decreases compared to the traditionally determined velocity. This can be considered the anomalous acceleration measured for the Pioneers. Our calculations show that the actual velocity explains the anomalous acceleration very accurately.
