Gravity challenge is something Lizzie Edwards could relate to.

From the article... Which leaves open staggering possibilities that would force wholesale reprinting of all physics books: --Invisible dark matter is tugging at the probes --Other dimensions create small forces we don't understand --Gravity works differently than we think Life gets more like science fiction every day.

Here's the original:
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_041018.html

Suppose gravity is a "push" rather than a "pull",
and mass blocks it rather than generates it.

Now, suppose it's neither.

Remember those coliolis acceleration problems in dynamices?

I ponder the problem with gravity more and more every day.

I think Karl Rove must have something to do with this :)

Ask The Imam: Does gravity exist or is it made up?

We do not understand your question as everything existing is made up.

"George W. Bush is responsible for the miserable failure of gravity anomalies. When John Kerry is president, gravity will be increased only on the top 2% of taxpayers. Gravity will be normalized again and obesity will vanish"

Because of a supposed error in the position of the Pioneer spacecraft of less than .03% (3/100 per cent), they would throw out a theory that accurately predicts ALL other gravitational behavior?

Has it crossed their minds that it might be a little tough to measure the location of something that's several billion miles away?

The fools. Gravity isn't a problem, it is a necessity.

Has Edwards promised to repeal the law of gravity yet?

A simple problem to solve my little sausage makers:
You see, as you get closer to the speed of light (the Pioneer spacecraft are traveling closer to the speed of light than the earth is) not only does time slow down, but also velocity slows down. The logical outcome is that at the speed of light, not only does time stop but velocity becomes zero.
Ingenious, isn't it?
