FW: Voyager 1 Spotted from Earth with radio antennas

[William Fenn]

Richard,

 

Let's have String Cheese for lunch.  You can touch, smell and taste it and
yes, this proves its existence.

  I'm no fan of 'Dark Matter / Energy'. So far we haven't been able to see,
touch, smell, taste or otherwise prove its existence. As with string theory,
I consider it all just theoretical speculation. For now though, I'm more
concerned with what's for lunch. :-)

"The initial observations, which were made on February 21, placed Voyager
very near, but not precisely at its predicted location. The difference was a
few tenths of an arcsecond. An arcsecond is the apparent size of a penny as
seen from 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) away. The second observations on June 1
produced similar results." 

 

 

This observation is very interesting because the same thing has been noted
with the Pioneer probes. The small error could be explained easily if
Newton's theory of gravitation were to be modified with a small second-order
component. The significance of this is that, if it were accepted that
Newton's Law is merely a (very good) approximation, the need to find the the
so-far undetectable "dark matter" in the Universe goes away - we don't need
the extra mass to explain our astronomical observations. It astonishes me
that the vast majority of scientists still insist that Newton's Law of
Universal Gravitation is absolute and exact.

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Very Long Baseline
Array (VLBA) and Green Bank Telescope (GBT) spotted the faint radio glow
from NASA's famed Voyager 1 spacecraft -- the most distant man-made object.
