Gravitation Anomaly Measured

Rob Riggs writes "Is there a hole in Einstein's Theory of Relativity? A story in The Economist talks about an apparent gravitation anomaly recorded during solar eclipses. According to Chris Duif at the Delft University of Technology, the 'Allais effect' is real, unexplained, and could be linked to another anomaly involving a the Pioneer spacecraft. More detailed information can be found in the paper he has just posted on arXiv.org."

Re:Anomaly in Gravity During Sun Eclipses?

Oh wow, you're soooo clever, much smarter than all the physicists studying this and the people who wrote the article and the person who submitted it to slashdot and all the rest of us reading this. You're so clever you thought of this (obvious, well-known) explanation that all those people just couldn't think of. NOT. Now go RTFA, which has nothing to do with what you're referring to.
