The key to the Pioneer anomaly?

Peter Antreasian, a spacecraft navigation expert at JPL who along with Joseph Guinn first brought attention to the anomalies seen in Galileo and NEAR during their Earth fly-bys, believes that it will require a modified law of gravity or other new physics to explain it.


I almost hate to propose it, but could we be dealing with "hyperdimensional physics"?

I have to admit that while I think Hoagland is overly speculative if you think of him as a researcher or scientist (he's neither), there's something that smacks of truth in his hyperdimensional physics hypothesis (which is a variant of some pretty old thinking, truth be told.)
