Biblical Physics and the Pioneer Anomaly

Pioneer 10 / 11NASA launched Pioneer 10 and 11 in 1972 and 1973 to fly past Jupiter and Saturn. After completing their primary missions, the spacecrafts exited the solar system in diametrically opposite directions. For more than 20 years, NASA's Deep Space Network periodically recorded radio signals from the distant birds. Over the years the radio frequencies kept on decreasing from their expected values, as compared to NASA's clocks. Was it a tracking error, dark matter or a problem with the laws of physics? Most scientists who suggested solutions to the anomaly presumed that the frequency differences were due to an actual acceleration in the direction of the Sun. However, the decrease in received radio frequencies correlated with distance, not velocity. The longer the radio signals were in transit (up to almost a day) the more the frequencies were lower than predicted by the laws of physics (compared with master clocks on earth). Scientists observed similar effects in other distant spacecraft (e.g., Galileo and Ulysses). The above graphic of a Pioneer flying through the cosmos is courtesy of NASA.

Biblical physics is easy to understand since it has no mathematical laws or operationally defined measuring units (like seconds). The only law in biblical physics is that the creation is in bondage to phthora. Greek philosophers used 'phthora' for matter changing its properties as it ages. The law of biblical physics is that matter changes itself in a relational manner.

We can directly observe the past in the distant heavens and compare it to the present. In general, the dimmer and more distant a galaxy, the more the observed atomic frequencies are minuscule ratios of those from modern (local) atoms. Yet the entire structure of modern empiricism was constructed on Aristotle's idea that the properties of matter are fixed, not emerging. The Apostle Peter predicted that in the last days false teachers will come saying "panta outos diamenei - all things remain the same in being." All modern scientists assume that matter is not changing as it ages. Modern empiricism depend on the notion that atoms do not change relationally, that ancient atoms were identical in nature to modern atoms. When atoms change relationally, we could not detect it with operationally defined measuring units that are predicated on the notion of atomic perpetual motion.

Biblical physics can explain the Pioneer Anomaly without mathematical laws. The signals from the Pioneer spacecraft came from the past. The longer the radio signals were in transit, the more the signals from the past were slower than those from local, modern clocks. The Pioneers are doing what all atoms in the universe do, speeding up their clock signals as matter ages. However, the former Pioneer clock rates are slower than the rates of modern atoms.

Biblical physics is the physics of nature, since every atom in the universe is following its law - changing relationally. The most powerful evidence for biblical physics is the visible history of how the galaxies formed. The earliest galaxies were naked and packed with stars. At many ranges we observe how those stars accelerated out and spread out as billions of galaxies grew into huge, local growth spirals. What we see could only happen if the properties of matter are always changing relationally. Not a single constant is visible anywhere in the whole universe. The scientific universe is symbolical, mathematical and almost 99% invisible, populated with invisible matter and various vacuous processes. All the invisible things in the scientific universe were woven out of invisible cloth to protect the historical first principle of science - that matter does not change as it ages.

The words of the Bible will certainly vanquish science, the system that was historically built on an elementary assumption from a pagan philosopher. Aristotle insisted that we must build all knowledge on changelessness, even though none is observed. Think about it.
