If a large volume of empty space surrounds the matter of the cosmos, so that the cosmos can have a centre of mass, then the matter is in a deep gravitational potential 'well'. If space is expanding and spreading the matter outward, then the depth of the well is decreasing.
According to general relativity, especially a new solution of Einstein's equations derived in the Appendix (which
also deals with Birkhoff's theorem), the decreasing depth continuously shortens 'radar' distances within the well,
causing the observed apparent acceleration. The magnitude of the anomalous acceleration implies the bottom
of the potential well has not yet risen very far above the critical depth for gravitational time dilation. Thus the
Pioneer effect supports the essentials of several creationist cosmologies: a centre of mass, expansion of space
and recent time dilation. Big bang theorists, whose cosmology does not have a centre of mass, cannot use this
explanation.
Here is an interesting explanation for it by a PhD. with the following credentials:
Beginning in 1979 he worked for Sandia National Laboratories (New Mexico) in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. In 1985, he began working with Sandia's 'Particle Beam Fusion Project', and was co-inventor of special laser-triggered 'Rimfire' high-voltage switches, now coming into wider use.
The last few years at Sandia had seen greater emphasis on theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an effort to help produce the world's first lab-scale thermonuclear fusion. Besides gaining another U.S. patent, Dr Humphreys has been given two awards from Sandia, including an Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion-fusion target theory.
Here's his explanation: ( Includes physics equations. )
