Re: [Vo]:Re: Gravimagnetism and the Pioneer Anomaly
Horace: I don't think that could be coincidental, but it is also to be expected, no? ... or if not - what are the implications? What is to be expected by whom for what reason? I don't know of a single article that anticipates an ambient gravimagnetic field, and certainly one of such a large magnitude, far larger than the sun's here on earth. What I meant in a general way was this: if gravity and magnetism are interconnected to such a degree, with magnetism being the stronger field at closer distance etc - - yet our galaxy has one of its poles (i.e. a 90 degree vector from its plane) pointed directly towards the "great attractor" which is attracting it with a gravitational field, then that is not coincidental is it? ... nor would be the fact that the ecliptic plane (being similar to, but canted wrt the galactic plane) also has a pole which is pointing in a similar but not exactly the same direction. IOW - it would seem that that this is slight evidence of both the interconnection between the two forces and the fact that although the galactic gravimagnetic field should be much stronger as felt by the ecliptic than the attractor gravimagnetic field, yet it is not. As I was finishing this post, your post with the alternative explanation came in, which may be better. Jones

Hoyt Stearns Pioneer 10 is heading toward Aldebaran in Taurus. Pioneer 11 is headed toward Aquila (The Eagle), northwest of the constellation of Sagittarius. The galactic center is located in the direction of Sagittarius, so Pioneer 11 is headed in its general direction, but way north of it. The galactic center is located near the radio source Sagittarius A*, which is located at 17h45m40.04s −29°00′28.1″, about 29 degrees below the ecliptic. Taurus is away from the Sagittarius, so Pioneer 10 is headed away from the galactic center. By calling the ambient gravimagnetic field "galactic" I did not mean to imply the galactic center is the source of the ambient gravimagnetic field. In fact, I wrote in: http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/SolarLunarGK.pdf "The cumulative gravimagnetic field of the sun and moon do not come within 11 orders of magnitude of the ambient gravimagnetic field in the vicinity of Earth required to account for the precession of the Earth." "Momentarily ignoring the many possibilities for error, this leads automatically to the wild speculation that we have a powerful unseen spinning neighbor that has been around for a long time, longer than the solar system. The plane of the solar system (the ecliptic) is not aligned with the plane of the Milky Way, so it is unlikely the galactic core is involved. The axis of precession is aligned with the poles of the ecliptic, thus the ambient gravimagnetic field must be also, on average. We may have a dark partner in our part of the galaxy." "If the dark partner were 150 light years away it would have to have [(1.551 x 10^-11 i Hz)/(9.526x10^-23 i Hz)]/(150 ly/1.496x10^8 km)^3 = 1.39x10^32 times the gravimagnetic dipole moment of the sun."

Wiki sez: Pioneer 10 is headed in the direction of the bright star Aldebaran, located in Taurus (constellation). The center of our Milky Way is in the constellation Sagittarius. I think that this would mean that Pioneer 10 is heading away from the galactic center, at an acute angle as seen from earth? FWIW: Aldebaran is another name for Satan, so you take that for what its worth . Anyway it is one of the easiest stars to find. Follow the three stars of Orion's belt from left to right, the first bright star found by continuing that line is Aldebaran.

Another vortex first (I hope!) I don't think that could be coincidental, but it is also to be expected, no? ... or if not - what are the implications? What is to be expected by whom for what reason? I don't know of a single article that anticipates an ambient gravimagnetic field, and certainly one of such a large magnitude, far larger than the sun's here on earth. I don't think the ambient gravimagnetic field is caused by either the galactic center or the galaxy as a whole. The ecliptic is at an angle with the galactic plane, and the ecliptic orientation is likely the result of the ambient gravimagnetic field at the time of the solar system formation. Further, the gravimagnetic field is a 1/r^3 field. The mass current requirements quickly grow beyond feasibility with distance. The alignment of the galactic field with the ecliptic poles is necessary by the method from which I derived its magnitude. The earth precesses about this axis. If the earth precessed about another axis, then that would be the axis of the ambient gravimagnetic field, regardless the orientation of the ecliptic. However, the fact that they are co-aligned, the axis of precession and the ecliptic pole, is an indication the source is extra-solar system, and thus I called it "galactic", and the part of that field near earth "ambient". The interesting part of the calculation is that, from the precession, you can't tell which way the ambient field causing the precession is oriented. Magnets have two stable orientations in a magnetic field. The torque depends on the sine of the angle with the field, so there are two solutions for angle. The Pioneer data resolves the question of field polarity. The immediate practical implications of an ambient gravimagnetic field are minor errors in estimates of solar (and other) masses, and minor errors in orbital mechanics and satellite tracking. Gravity experiments or gravimagnetic experiments can be affected by longitude, latitude, and time of day. There are large implications regarding galaxy mechanics, especially the arm motions. I expect the arms are gravimagnetically structured and swing in a whip like fashion, giving them a higher tip velocity than would be expected by Newtonian mechanics. The biggest implication is that we have somewhere nearby in the galaxy an unseen but very powerful gravimagnetic field generator. In fact, we may have two of them interacting and thereby creating our polar wobble. I estimated their precession rates at 1.585 years and 2.066 years.

sez jones ... Unless of course, they are all reflected images of one universe ! as has been mentioned before in a post called "A Hall of Mirrors Universe," in which yours truly seems to have forgotten how many sides a soccer ball has. Anyway... Oh soccer balls, smoccer balls! I think the esteemed Science Fiction novelist, Larry Niven, sed it best when in a short story based on his imaginative universe called "Known Space" an adventurer was commissioned to travel in a specially outfitted spaceship (designed by the crazy & paranoid Pupeteers species) to the core of our galaxy. However, the closer our adventurer got to the galactic core the more obvious it became that the core was in the process of exploding in one unbelievably massive supernova. Of course our adventurer reported his findings when he returned. Nobody, excepting the Pupetters, were terribly freaked. With deadly radiation traveling at nearly light speed everyone figured they had another five thousand years (plus or minus a thousand) before it was time to move. But then I might be prejudiced, having illustrated one of Larry's novels, RingWorld.

I don't think that could be coincidental, but it is also to be expected, no? ... or if not - what are the implications? For those who don't get the distinction, the ecliptic coordinate system is the astronomical system in which the principal axis is the imaginary disk which is formed by the path of our sun through the heavens. This path does not necessarily align perfectly with the galactic plane (which is the band of stars of the Milky Way, as seen in the night sky. The ecliptic poles are the two points at which a line perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic strikes the surface of an imaginary celestial sphere of which our Milky Way is only a tiny component. The north ecliptic pole lies in the constellation Draco. One would expect that the pole vector of the Milky Way itself would not be far removed from the ecliptic pole. Like most stars, our sun "orbits" the large mass in the center of our galaxy (undoubtedly a black hole); and our galaxy orbits an even larger mass called the "Great Attractor" http://www.solstation.com/x-objects/greatatt.htm which is in the constellation Cygnus. I hope that I am getting these constellation details correct, as it has been a while Anyway, I would have expected our galactic gravimagnetic field to be oriented either towards or away from the great attractor - and indeed the two- Cygnus and Draco are fairly close but not aligned. Curiously - when Cygnus and Draco are mentioned together in ancient Astronomy - this brings up another point of keen interest ... (of the "how did they knwo that" variety) as the importance of them together seems to have been appreciated by the Egyptians, if I am not reading too much into this: http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/articles/dwn_nwy.htm BTW - The center of the Milky Way galaxy is 28,000 light-years away from us, but the "Great Attractor" which is a conglomeration of perhaps 100,000 galaxies is a little more obscure and remote. It lies ~400,000,000 light-years away and of course attracts our "local group" of galaxies (i.e. Andromeda etc.). There are however many things obscuring our view of the great attractor and it is most probably NOT the center of the universe and could even be in the opposite direction for all we know -- and could be one of many 'attractors' for many super-clusters, which are, in effect - all universes in themselves. Unless of course, they are all reflected images of one universe ! as has been mentioned before in a post called "A Hall of Mirrors Universe," in which yours truly seems to have forgotten how many sides a soccer ball has. Anyway... More later, Jones
[Vo]:Re: Gravimagnetism and the Pioneer Anomaly
A discussion of gravimagnetism and the Pioneer Anomaly is located at the end of: http://mtaonline.net/~hheffner/FullGravimag.pdf It is proposed there that the Lorentz force from the ambient gravimagnetic field of the galaxy is the primary underlying cause for the Pioneer Anomaly. Yesterday I noticed that there was a problem with the sign of the force expected on the Pioneers. It finally dawned on me that the ambient gravimagnetic field can be either north to south or south to north and create exactly the same earth precession. The Pioneers then let us determine the direction of the ambient gravimagnetic field. It is just the opposite of what I had assumed before this realization. The orientation of the ambient galactic gravimagnetic field is thus towards the North Ecliptic Pole in Draco, coming from the South Ecliptic Pole. The article above has been updated to reflect this realization. Regards, Horace Heffner
