Talk:Pioneer anomaly/Archive 2010


Multiple reasons? + 2 cents of speculation

A few minutes ago I was looking at a drawing that depicts sun's movement in relation to interstellar cloud movement. The depicted angle is nearly 90 degrees. It occurred to me to ask (the gurus) if this single fact could account for the Pioneer Effect (PE). By reading this article it suddenly seemed so plausible that there is more than one cause. Say, something like a push/pull game of forces. Besides, maybe I am going to say something stupid, in such a "high" speed during so long, how much should we expect Pioneers' clocks to have "delayed" in relation to ours'? Could this be part of an explanation? What I mean is: if processors have their clocks slowed down by speed for long enough, could radio emissions reflect this slowing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.105.217.106 (talk) 19:28, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
