Pico-Graviton explains Sedna's Eccentricity
Evidence Mounts For Companion Star To Our Sun

…. "Sedna", demonstrates the possibility that our sun might be part of a binary star system. … gravitationally bound orbiting a common centre of mass.
….. Most of the evidence has been statistical rather than physical.
….. Sedna moves in a highly unusual elliptical orbit…in resonance with previously published orbital data for a hypothetical companion star.
…. "Sedna shouldn't be there... It never comes close enough to be affected by the sun, but it never goes far enough away from the sun to be affected by other stars... But it's in a very elliptical orbit…
…. Sedna's unusual orbit is something indicative of the current solar system configuration, not merely a historical record.
"It is hard to imagine that Sedna would retain its highly elliptical orbit pattern since the beginning of the solar system billions of years ago. Because eccentricity would likely fade with time, it is logical to assume Sedna is telling us something about current, albeit unexpected solar system forces, most probably a companion star". by Staff Writers, Newport Beach CA (SPX) Apr 25, 2006

If Sedna doesn’t come close enough to the Sun then clearly gravitation cannot be entirely attributable to our Sun. But if it has a companion star, where is it? And how big must it be to effect a planet the Sun cannot? The Pico-Graviton hypothesis explains

· How Sedna’s eccentric orbit is sustained.
· How the phenomenon is consistent with our solar system’s configuration.
· How there is another current force in addition to the Sun’s gravitational field.

The article accepts there is more than the Sun's gravitational field in action here and so does Autodynamics, which calls the additional force the Pico-Graviton. For an explanation, new readers click here, experts click here.

Hubble Spots Possible New Moons Around Pluto
More Evidence Of Pico-Graviton Hypothesis

These are tiny moons. Their estimated diameters lie between 40 and 125 miles (64 and 200 kilometers). Charon, for comparison, is about 730 miles (1170 km) wide, while Pluto itself has a diameter of about 1410 miles (2270 km).

The team plans to make follow-up Hubble observations in February to confirm that the newly discovered objects are truly Pluto's moons. Only after confirmation will the International Astronomical Union consider permanent (and catchier) names for S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2.

The Hubble telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys observed the two new candidate moons on May 15, 2005. "The new satellite candidates are roughly 5,000 times fainter than Pluto, but they really stood out in these Hubble images," said Max Mutchler of the Space Telescope Science Institute and the first team member to identify the satellites.

Three days later, Hubble looked at Pluto again. The two objects were still there and appeared to be moving in orbit around Pluto.

The evidence for the Pico-graviton hypothesis seems to be pouring in. It is the only hypothesis can predict that the number of satellites around a planet is also determined by its distance from a star and not just its mass.

Second AD 'Success' Within A Month
Moon discovered orbiting tenth planet

The tenth planet in the solar system has a moon at least a tenth of its size. The discovery, made on 10 September ….. officially a planet - for now its only official designation is 2003 UB313 ….. nicknamed it Xena after the television warrior princess, is calling the moon Gabrielle, after the princess's companion.

The moon is ten times closer to its planet that our Moon is to Earth, and the pair are 97 times further from the Sun than the Earth is. Viewed from Earth, they are separated by only half an arc-second.

The best estimate of Xena's size so far is about 2700 kilometres in diameter, about one-fifth the size of the Earth. Gabrielle, which is about a tenth the size of Xena, is about one-eighth the size of our Moon.

An intriguing consequence of the latest discovery is that three of the four largest objects beyond Neptune are now known to have moons, including Pluto and 2003 EL61.

Brown suggests "some very common mechanism must be responsible". He proposes they were created by collisions between icy trans-Neptunian objects, similar to the collision between the nearly complete Earth and a Mars-sized object that created our Moon.
http://www.newscientistspace.com/article/dn8086

This is no mystery to the Autodynamicist. The Pico-Graviton hypothesis says that there is a relationship not just between the mass of a planet and its number of moons but also between how close a plant is to the Sun. When a moon is in alignment with its planet and the Sun, the net difference in pico-graviton radiation pressure pushes the moon a little closer to the Sun. This is born out by the inner planets. Mars is half the size of the Earth and Venus and yet has two satellites where as the Earth, which closer to the Sun only has one satellite and Venus, which is even closer has none. Still closer to the Sun is Mercury which has none and yet Pluto, on the far side of the Solar syatem, is smaller than Mercury and has at least one satellite. Now we find that tiny Xena also has a satellite.

Autodynamic's Prediction Of Superluminic Velocity Is Realised

Light That Travels Faster Than The Speed Of Light

Autodynamics, in keeping with many astronomers and physicists, has never found convincing evidence to recognise light speed as the ultimate velocity. Although there have been numerous examples of superlumic velocity in the cosmos and laboratory, they have never had the impact of this breakthrough. This time, the phenomenon is real enough to be supported by funds to develop it commercially for the communications industry.

'On the screen, a small pulse shifts back and forth – just a little bit. But this seemingly unremarkable phenomenon could have profound technological consequences. It represents the success of Luc Thévenaz and his fellow researchers in the Nanophotonics and Metrology laboratory at EPFL in controlling the speed of light in a simple optical fiber. They were able not only to slow light down by a factor of three from its well – established speed c of 300 million meters per second in a vacuum, but they've also accomplished the considerable feat of speeding it up – making light go faster than the speed of light....

This has the enormous advantage of being a simple, inexpensive procedure that works at any wavelength, notably at wavelengths used in telecommunications," explains Thévenaz.

The telecommunications industry transmits vast quantities of data via fiber optics. Light signals race down the information superhighway at about 186,000 miles per second. But information cannot be processed at this speed, because with current technology light signals cannot be stored, routed or processed without first being transformed into electrical signals, which work much more slowly. If the light signal could be controlled by light, it would be possible to route and process optical data without the costly electrical conversion, opening up the possibility of processing information at the speed of light.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) considers it so important that it has been funnelling millions of dollars into projects such as "Applications of Slow Light in Optical Fibers" and research on all-optical routers.

And Thévenaz points out that this technology could take us far beyond just improving on current telecom applications... generate high-performance microwave signals... next-generation wireless communication networks... improve transmissions between satellites.

The success of AD’s pico-graviton mechanism is testimony to the good sense that supports superluminic velocity. (Current estimates put the pico-graviton’s speed at 27 times that of light but this is not necessarily its limit). AD also provides an elementary mechanism to explain how energetic particles such as the photon can exceed the speed of light. Just as Concord left sound behind by travelling at mach 2, but the voices of the passengers still travelled at the speed of the aeroplane plus the speed of sound (mach 3), similarly, energetic particles may exceed the speed of light, where for example, a photon is the vehicle. There may also be a melding of energetic particles to form a very transient particle which then decays. This process is analogous to a rocket being propelled by its exhaust plume. The photon and particle collide and for an instant there's an 'explosion' or transference of energy, whereby the particle acts as a propellant. The resultant particle(s) exceed(s) 3 x 10^8. Clearly, this isn't simply a kinetic issue. Nevertheless, the simplicity of this suggestion is its value. Simply because it is intelligible and based on our current quantum knowledge in the light of accurate equations.

These mysterious objects are dark-energy stars, physicist claims.

Black holes are staples of science fiction and many think astronomers have observed them indirectly. But according to a physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, these awesome breaches in space-time do not and indeed cannot exist.

Over the past few years, observations of the motions of galaxies have shown that some 70% the Universe seems to be composed of a strange 'dark energy' that is driving the Universe's accelerating expansion.

George Chapline thinks that the collapse of the massive stars, which was long believed to generate black holes, actually leads to the formation of stars that contain dark energy. "It's a near certainty that black holes don't exist," he claims.....

Theories Of High-Temperature Superconductivity Violate Pauli Principle

Scientists seeking to explain high-temperature superconductivity have been violating the Pauli exclusion principle, a team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Rutgers University report.

The first data returned by NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer spacecraft (GALEX) suggests that our Universe is still quite fertile. Observations of newborn galaxies indicate that the universe is still alive with youth and not suffering from as big a decline in its galactic birthrate as previously believed.
Launched in April 2003, the spacecraft uses a telescope 50 centimeters in diameter to scan the skies for ultraviolet sources. The newly discovered galaxies are 10 times as bright in the ultraviolet range as the Milky Way. Such brightness is a sign of violent star formation and exploding supernovae, which is in turn an indication of youthful galaxies. "Now we can study the ancestors to galaxies much like our Milky Way in much more detail than ever before," explains project leader Tim Heckman of Johns Hopkins University. "It's like finding a living fossil in your own backyard. We thought this type of galaxy had gone extinct, but in fact newborn galaxies are alive and well in the universe."

Previous discoveries of young galaxies were located some 11 billion light-years away. GALEX's field of view, which spans a stretch of sky nearly three times the moon's diameter, surveyed thousands of galaxies before identifying nearly three dozen newborns. The new finds, just two to four billion light-years from Earth, give astronomers a close-up view of baby galaxies. A report detailing this and other early GALEX results will be published in an upcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters. --Sarah Graham

Aging Universe May Still Be Spawning Massive Galaxies

NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer has spotted what appear to be massive "baby" galaxies in our corner of the universe. Previously, astronomers thought the universe's birth rate had dramatically declined and only small galaxies were forming.
"We knew there were really massive young galaxies eons ago, but we thought they had all matured into older ones more like our Milky Way. If these galaxies are indeed newly formed, then this implies parts of the universe are still hotbeds of galaxy birth," said Dr. Chris Martin.

The recent discovery suggests our aging universe is still alive with youth.

".... We thought this type of galaxy had gone extinct, but in fact newborn galaxies are alive and well in the universe," .

This observation begs to be explained in terms of the Le Sage Ultramundane Corpuscle, which has been substantiated and successfully developed by Ricardo Carezani. The on going process of galaxies forming anew is a funamental part of the autodynamic thesis.

Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

The experiment will check, very precisely, tiny changes in the direction of spin of four gyroscopes contained in an Earth satellite orbiting at 400-mile altitude directly over the poles. So free are the gyroscopes from disturbance that they will provide an almost perfect space-time reference system. They will measure how space and time are warped by the presence of the Earth, and, more profoundly, how the Earth's rotation drags space-time around with it. These effects, though small for the Earth, have far-reaching implications for the nature of matter and the structure of the Universe.

XMM Newton Sees Super Luminic gamma-rays

In December 2003 ESA's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, has imaged a spectacular set of rings which appear to expand, with a speed a thousand times faster than that of light, around the point where a powerful gamma-ray explosion took place, (GRB 031203). However, Einsteinian theory forbids superliminal speed. In a phenomenon astronomers call `echo', here is the Einsteinian's explanation why the above observed speeds are not real but an optical illusion.

The rings seem to expand because the X-rays scattered by dust farther from the direction of GRB 031203 take longer to reach us than those hitting the dust closer to the line of sight. …… However, nothing can move faster than light. "This is precisely what we expect because of the finite speed of light," said Vaughan. "The rate of expansion that we see is just a visual effect." ….. we see two rings because there are two thin sheets of dust between the source of the gamma-ray burst and Earth, one closer to us creating the wider ring and one further away where the smaller ring is formed.

Since they know precisely at what speed the X-ray light travels in space, the team in Leicester have determined accurately the distance to the dustsheets by measuring the size of the expanding rings. The nearest dust sheet is located 2900 light years away and is probably part of the Gum nebula, a bubble of hot gas resulting from many supernova explosions. The other dust layer is about 4500 light years away.

However, the above begs the question, if nothing travels faster than the speed of light how come an optical illusion can?

XMM Newton: Doubts Dark Matter, Supports Pico-Graviton Absorption

Yet more hard science, this time from XMM Newton, is telling us there is no dark matter. Alain Blanchard of the Laboratoire D'Astrophysique and his team used its data to calculate how the abundance of galaxy clusters change with time. Blanchard says:

"There were fewer galaxy clusters in the past".

Such results indicate that the universe must be a high density environment, in clear contradiction to the 'concordance model' which postulates a Universe that is made up of 70% dark energy, 25% dark matter, and 5% normal matter. Blanchard said:

"To account for these results you have to have a lot of matter in the universe and that leaves little room for dark energy".

While convention may be perplexed, Autodynamic's Universal Gravitation predicts these findings. There are more galaxy clusters today because pico-gravitons are absorbed by matter and in AD matter begets matter. It is part of the 'EMME' cycle of energy turning to mass and mass turning to energy, the absorption of Pico-Gravitons being an example of the energy to matter process. Of course, this still leaves many questions unasked but the findings are, nevertheless, completely consistent with the Autodynamic thesis (Click Here).

Total Eclipse Of The Moon

As I write, (1.05am GMT) there is a total eclipse of the Moon by the Earth. You can see a full moon which is being noted in the national news partly because the Moon has temporarily taken on a particular reddening in colour. This is not because the Moon is relativistically speeding away from the Sun at an unusually faster speed than happens every month. It is not because the Earth has temporarily acquired a mass comparable to a massive body like the Sun. It is because the dust and cloud in the atmosphere is filtering the Sun’s rays, making the full moon quite a spectacle. This real phenomenon amply demonstrates how dust over vast distances in outer space is capable of giving rise to red shift.

"..... I think it's hard not to agree that it is time to start to consider theories that do not require this Planck scale, at least not like it is now, ..... "From an experimental point of view, there is no establishment. (See below)

’An experiment by Italian scientists using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, currently en route to Saturn, confirms Einstein's theory of general relativity with a precision that is 50 times greater than previous measurements……
"The scientific significance of these results is the important confirmation of the theory of general relativity and the agreement with Einstein's formulations to an unprecedented experimental accuracy," said Sami Asmar, manager of the Radio Science Group, which acquired the data for this experiment at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "The technological significance of the experiment is the ability to overcome the harsh solar environment on radio links."
The researchers measured how much the Sun's gravity bent an electromagnetic beam, in this case the radio signal transmitted by the spacecraft and received by the ground stations.
According to the theory of general relativity, a massive object like the Sun causes space-time to curve, and a beam of radio waves (or light) that passes by the Sun has to travel further because of the curvature. The extra distance that the radio waves travel from Cassini past the Sun to the Earth delays their arrival; the amount of the delay provides a sensitive test of the predictions of Einstein's theory. Although deviations from general relativity are expected in some cosmological models, none were found in this experiment.
Tests of general relativity have important cosmological implications. The question is not whether general relativity is true or false, but at which level of accuracy it ceases to describe gravity in a realistic way.’

The Cassini experiment does not confirm the Hypothesis of General Relativity. Nor does it follow that using instruments that are 50 times more accurate than previous ones mean General Relativity has been more validated by a factor of 50. The bending of an electromagnetic beam around a massive object is also predicted by Newtonian, and Autodynamic Universal Gravitation. Thus by the same token of logic, these too are confirmed.

There is no question that radio signals passing close enough to a massive object will take a longer path and are thus slower to arrive ‘home’. But what is the explanation, or, mechanism, for this phenomenon? When the Einsteinian uses the phrase ‘space-time’, it is a euphemism for ‘time travel’, as well as distance dilating (becoming longer). We are literally expected to accept that these radio signals have traveled back in time. By comparison, AD is saying that the radio signal is eschewed from a straight-line path because the massive body absorbs a tiny amount of Pico-gravitons as they pass through it. The result is that graviton radiation, having passed through the massive body to impinge on the signal, is less than the radiation pressure passing through the signal on its way to the Sun. The effect is the signal is bent (pushed) towards the massive body. Hence, it is deflected from a straight line path, traveling a greater distance, and thereby being delayed. So which explanation do you find more credible, F=MA, or Time travel?

Thus, the question is MOST DEFINITELY ‘whether general relativity is true or false’ and it is MOST DEFINITELY NOT only a question of 'level of accuracy'. After all, it is quite possible to be accurate for the wrong reasons.

Dark matter deficiency puts theory in the shade

Astrophysicists have discovered that three elliptical galaxies seem to contain little or no dark matter. A team led by Aaron Romanowsky of the University of Nottingham in the UK found that the dynamics of the elliptical galaxies could be explained without the need for dark matter, in contrast to the motion of spiral galaxies. The unexpected result questions the widely held belief that elliptical galaxies form when galaxies rich in dark matter collide (A Romanowsky et al 2003 Sciencexpress 1087441 ).

Autodynamics UK TV Documentary

Filming of AD UK's documentary on gravity is now past the pilot stage and well underway. Help has been received from some very big companies such as Rolls Royce and Qinetiq. Both have supplied specialist footage. Qinetiq are helping to send to 2 men into subspace in a balloon bigger than the Empire State building. A brief glimpse of this will be seen in the film but for more details visit www.qinetiq.com. Filming has taken place at Trinity College, Cambridge University, England. This was Newton's place of work and study from 1642 to 1727. Some clips of this are available here.

The documentary should be complete in the new year of 2004.

AD Gets An Airing on National Radio

There is a fascinating library of literature based on ancient civilisations which I would describe as anthropological fiction. Whilst listening to radio presenter James Whale on TalkSport Radio (1089 FM), I heard his guest, Laurence Gardner, Author of Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark: Amazing Revelations of the Incredible Power of Gold expound his research. I phoned into say that gold was - relatively speaking - very good at attenuating the flow of Pico-Gravitons and also, of course, took the opportunity to expound the theory of Pico-Gravitation. It is remarkable how many people are taken aback when I say gravity doesn't attract but pushes. James, somewhat indignantly asked, "Are you saying everyone else has got it wrong?". I replied that Newton never said gravity attracts but that he spoke of the force of gravitation. The response is similar when I say that Newton never said the Earth possesses any gravity. James can't have been offended as he asked for, and gave out, the web site addresses of both Autodynamics UK and USA.

Astronomers Deal Blow To Quantum Theories Of Time, Space

Dr. Roberto Ragazzoni from the Astrophysical Observatory of Arcetri, Italy, and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, calculated that infinitesimally small quantum-scale variations in space time would blur images of galaxies seen from vast distances. What they found were diffraction patterns from a supernova and the raw image of another galaxy more than five billion light years from Earth, whose images were much sharper than should be possible under the quantum-scale phenomenon.

Roberto Ragazzoni.:

"If you are looking at light from a huge distance, this light passing through space time would be subject to this fluctuation in space time. They should give a distorted image of the far universe, like a blurring..... "But you don't see a universe that is blurred. If you take any Hubble Space Telescope deep field image you see sharp images, which is enough to tell us that the light has not been distorted or perturbed by fluctuations in space time from the source to the observer. This observation is enough to rule out this effect on the quantum scale.... "You can say that this measurement constrains the quantum gravity theory to certain parameters."

"Without a theory to describe this, I think it's hard not to agree that it is time to start to consider theories that do not require this Planck scale, at least not like it is now,... "From an experimental point of view, there is no establishment. We are proud to have established in as rigorous a manner as possible the parameters of this quantum effect."

First LIGO Scientific Results getting into the guts of it all by Physics News Update

In this first run no gravitational wave events were observed, but palpable knowledge was gained as to what the sky should look like when viewed in the form of gravity waves. So great is LIGO's sensitivity that it has been able to set the best upper limit on the output of gravitational waves from three of the four prime source categories.

Science begins for LIGO in quest to detect gravitational waves

First predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 as a consequence of the general theory of relativity, gravitational waves have never been detected directly.

The first data was taken during a 17-day data run in September 2002. That data has now been analyzed for the presence of gravitational waves, and results are being presented at the American Physical Society meeting in Philadelphia. No sources have yet been detected, but new limits on gravitational radiation from such sources as binary neutron star inspirals, selected pulsars in our galaxy and background radiation from the early universe, are reported.

God in the Equation: How Einstein Became the Prophet of the New Religious Era
by Corey Powell (Author)

'Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly For thousands of years, science and religion have occupied separate rooms in the house of culture. As science writer Powell points out, though, such a separation is hardly warranted in the modern world, where a new faith that he calls sci/religion captures both the mystical and the empirical. The prophet of sci/religion, Powell claims, is Einstein, whose search for a unifying factor in his relativity theory brought together the elements of physics and metaphysics. Einstein believed that a spirit vastly superior to the spirit of man is manifest in the laws of the universe, and he named this spirit Lamda........'

Does sharp image of distant galaxy shred the fabric of space and time?
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).

The sharp image of a galaxy halfway across the universe might shred modern theories about the structures of time and space, and change the way astrophysicists view the "Big Bang," according to two scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).

Their findings might also provide important clues to (and cause significant upheaval among) researchers trying to merge two of the most significant scientific theories of the last century: Einstein's theory of general relativity and Planck's theory of the quantum.

Their research findings are scheduled to be published in the March 10 edition of "Astrophysical Journal Letters," and have been released in the journal's website.
