You and me are looking at the same thing and basically saying the same thing but from two different perspectives. You are saying the photons appear to be accelerating while away from the Sun. I am saying space is less dense away from the Sun.Aardwolf wrote:The apparent lag of gravity is seen in Mercury's precession of its orbit. If gravity was uniform, then Mercury's orbit would always place it in the same position and the end of every cycle.aetherwizard wrote:There is no lag in calculations regarding gravity (or whatever you want to call the force/wave/particle/sheet that results in planets travelling in stable orbits). That's the reason relativists needed to invent unproven new science to explain the lack of lagging.
It appears to Einstein that gravity is lagging. It does not appear that way to me. As I see it, space is less dense away from the Sun to make up for the extra density in the neutrons within the Sun. Neutrons involve not only the binding of an electron to a proton, but the folding of space such that two Aether units occupy the same space as one Aether unit.
The pioneeer anomaly is IMO clear evidence for the increase in the speed of photons the further away from the solar systems atmosphere. The satellite is not anomalously accelerating toward the sun; the speed of the photons at that distance is increasing which gives the appearance of said acceleration.
If the space is less dense, the photons will appear to move faster through that space.
The same physics that causes Mercury to appear to precess in its orbit nearer to the surface of the Sun is being repeated at a larger scale nearer the edge of the solar system as a whole. It is like the nuclear binding force is similar to the force of permanent magnets, but on different scales.
