[NewCandle] More spacecraft velocity anomalies

[Jones Beene]

Well - you want a wild idea to play with?

Dirac noted that the Gravitational constant, G is
related to the inverse age of the universe in certain
'natural' units. 

He concluded, or more like he speculated, that G could
then change over time in order to maintain the
relationship. We would have no way of knowing that G
was not constant, since the rate of change is very
small. Across 10-15 billion years, the change for say,
any 10,000 year interval is minuscule,
percentage-wise, even if we had been keeping records
for that long.

Which makes G a variable constant, so to speak.

There is a possible rationale for this, which (greatly
simplified) can be verbalized to conclude that gravity
 is a "reflexive" relic of prior photon emission. The
photon, in effect, never fully departs its source, but
always leaves a Yo-Yo-like "trailer" in another
dimension, which is the graviton (it would be a very
long string if in 3-space, but the graviton exists
"in" reciprocal space but with interfacial effects).

When the photon cools to near zero ~the CMB temp, it
then "recoils" back to its original source, and that
that recoil effect has an interfacial friction-like
effect on 3-space, which net effect is gravity.

That observation, if even partly accurate, could be
taken to another level. Since G is not constant over
time, it may be not constant over space. If the age of
a significant proportion of the matter in any area has
changed by reversion to quarks for instance, this
would  create a slight difference. In a supernova,
some new matter is 'reborn' from quarks and this
changes G slightly in the local vicinity.

In either case, the variation is not great enough
normally to make a noticeable difference unless we are
tracking an object which traverses from a "younger
space" into an "older space". 

Since many local areas of the universe are influenced
by second or third generation stars, they may have a
slightly lower G than areas where older stars
dominate. 

Even the Oort cloud, for instance, could contain
matter which may be older on average, than our Sun,
and would have a slightly different G associated with
its mass, which could influence an object traversing
that distance.
