A Quick and Dirty Approach to Verify the Pioneer Anomaly
Alexander Unzicker, Daniel Schmidle
We present source code for the computer algebra system Mathematica that analyzes the motion of the Pioneer spacecraft using the public available ephemeris data from JPL's website.…
Why do we Still Believe in Newton's Law ? Facts, Myths and Methods in Gravitational Physics
Alexander Unzicker
An overview of the experimental and observational status in gravitational physics is given, both for the known tests of general relativity and Newtonian gravity, but also for the i…
A Solar System Test of Mach's Principle with Gravimetric Data
Alexander Unzicker, Karl Fabian
We present a new test for a possible Mach-Sciama dependence of the Gravitational constant G. According to Ernst Mach (1838-1916), the gravitational interaction depends on the distr…
Mach's Principle and a Variable Speed of Light
Alexander Unzicker
Ernst Mach (1838-1916) suggested that the origin of gravitational interaction could depend on the presence of all masses in the universe. A corresponding hypothesis of Sciama (1953…
Galaxies as Rotating Buckets - a Hypothesis on the Gravitational Constant Based on Mach's Principle
Alexander Unzicker
According to Mach's principle inertia has its reason in the presence of all masses in the universe. Despite there is a lot of sympathy for this plausible idea, only a few quantitat…
What can Physics learn from Continuum Mechanics ?
Alexander Unzicker
This paper is mostly a collection of ideas already published by various authors, some of them even a long time ago. Its intention is to bring the reader to know some rather unknown…
