Abstract
Over the past century a succession of four different independent unexplained astronomical phe-
nomena have been discovered. They appear to be the result of a common underlying cause that
also produces an unaccounted—for acceleration that is quite small, centrally directed in the sys-
tem exhibiting each phenomenon, non-gravitational, distance independent, and of a common
magnitude. The present paper analyzes the unexplained phenomena and proposes the underlying
common cause, a common solution to the problem that they present. The four in the order of their
discovery are as follows. 1) In 1933, the indication by galactic rotation curves that there is such an
acceleration in galaxies but with no observable cause [hence the postulating of Dark Matter].
Here the acceleration is directed toward the galactic center, the dominant factor in the mechanics
of galaxy rotation. 2) In 1998, the Pioneer Anomaly in which the acceleration is directed toward
the Sun, the dominant factor in the mechanics of the Pioneer spacecrafts’ motion. 3) In 2008, the
Flybys Anomaly for which the acceleration is directed toward the center of the Earth, the domi-
nant factor in the mechanics of the flyby motion. 4) Also in 2008, confirmed in 2010, the Dark Flow
anomaly for which the acceleration is directed toward the central origin of the overall universe,
the dominant factor in the mechanics of the overall universe. In addition the common cause also
modifies the earliest: 5) In the 1920’s the LeMaitre-Hubble redshifts of the light from various dis-
tant astral bodies.

1. Introduction
Four independent unrelated phenomena, none of which has an established explanation, have now been exten-
sively observed and a large amount of data substantiating the phenomena have been developed. The phenomena
are as follows.
In 1933 F. Zwicky reported [1] that the rotational balance of gravitational central attraction and rotational
centripetal force in galaxies appeared to be out of balance, that a small additional centrally directed, distance
independent acceleration of unknown source appeared to be needed and to be acting. Numerous galactic ro-
tation curves confirm that there is such an anomalous acceleration present and necessary in all rotating ga-

laxies.
In 1998 the Pioneer Anomaly was first reported [2]. The anomaly is a small acceleration, centrally directed
[toward the Sun], constant, distance independent, and of unknown cause, observed in the tracking of the
Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft from launch until their near departure from the Solar System.
In 2008 the Flybys Anomaly was first reported [3]. The anomaly is unaccounted for changes in spacecraft
speed, both increases and decreases, for six different spacecraft involved in Earth flybys from December 8,
1990 to August 2, 2005.
Also in 2008 a previously unknown large scale flow of galaxy clusters all in the same direction toward the
edgeof the observable universe, the Dark Flow anomaly, was first reported [4]. The mysterious motion,
originally noted in 2008 using the three-year WMAP survey, is now [2010] confirmed by a more compre-
hensive five-year study [5].
Analysis discloses that the first three have in common the same locally centrally directed, small acceleration
that is non-gravitational, distance independent, constant, and unaccounted for. The fourth phenomenon is shown
to be fully consistent with that same cause and explanation.
A fifth phenomenon and the earliest, astral redshifts discovered by LeMaitre and Hubble before the above,
turns out to be primarily caused by the same underlying phenomenon causing the others.
2. The Centrally Directed Anomalous Acceleration in All Rotating Galaxies
Galaxies are rotating systems, gravitational attraction providing centripetal force, Equation (1), where V is ve-
locity, R is radius, G is gravitation constant, M is attracting mass, and m is attracted mass.

A curve or plot of such rotational velocity, V, versus path radius, R, is termed a Rotation Curve.
When the central mass is far greater than the orbiting masses the dynamics are such that the orbital velocities
are inversely proportional to the square root of the radial distance from the center mass as for example in our
solar system and as illustrated in Figure 1, below. Such rotational dynamics and rotation curves are referred to
as Keplerian.
In the case of a solid sphere of uniform density,
ρ
, throughout, all parts must move at rotational velocities di-
rectly proportional to radius as illustrated in Figure 2.
The form of galaxies as we are able to directly observe them is that of a fairly spherical star-dense central core
and a transition from that to the much more extensive flat disk of a far smaller density of more widely dispersed
stars. The portion of galactic rotation curves that pertains to the dense central core of the galaxy would be ex-
pected to exhibit approximately the same velocity-proportional-to-radius form as illustrated for a solid sphere in
Figure 2. Likewise, the more dispersed flat disk, minor in mass compared to the dense central core, would be
expected to exhibit the Keplerian form of Figure 1. The expected form of galactic rotation curves would be the
two combined with a smooth transition between as Figure 3.

Figure 2. Rotation Curve of a Solid Uniform Sphere.
Figure 3. Expected Form of Galactic Rotation Curves.
For galaxies that present themselves in an edge view of the thin disk not as their spiral or globular spread in
space, it is possible to measure the rotational velocities and obtain a rotation curve. We see one end of the pre-
sented flat disk moving toward us relative to the center and the other end moving away. The rotational velocities
are measured along the galactic diameter represented by our view of the disk by observing the variations in red-
shift, those variations being a Doppler effect. Galactic rotation curves so obtained do not exhibit the expected
Keplerian form, an inverse square root of radius. Rather, they exhibit a flat form, that is, they exhibit rotational
velocity independent of radius. The overall curve, after the portion pertaining to the dense central core of the
galaxy, is a transition to a flat curve in the region corresponding to the spread-out galactic disk as in Figure 4,
next page.
Because the form of the flat portion of galactic rotation curves lies between the case of a dominant central
mass, as in the Keplerian inverse square root of radius form [Figure 1], and the case of a uniformly dense mass,
with its direct proportion to radius form [Figure 2], it has been inferred that matter that we have not observed
must be present similarly distributed within the galaxy. That is, it is inferred that unobservable matter must be
distributed in the galaxy in a manner that lies between the matter distribution of a dominant central mass [the
Keplerian case] and that of a uniformly dense mass [the direct proportion to radius case] as a halo of dark mat-
terwhich causes the rotation to take the form that the rotation curve exhibits. Thus arising the dark matter
hypothesis.
No explanation has been offered for why the dark matter, while performing a gravitational function in the
galaxy nevertheless fails to be distributed in the same manner as the visible matterin a fairly spherical dense
central core with a transition from that to a much more extensive flat disk which has a far smaller density of
more widely dispersed stars.
But, what the rotation curves actually demonstrate is not the existence of a hypothesized cause [dark matter];
they only demonstrate the existence of an acceleration that is not accounted for. That acceleration is identified as
follows. An acceleration, Equation (2),

constant and acting alone as an acceleration maintaining a mass in orbit, would produce a rotation curve as in
Figure 5, below.
That rotation curve is of the correct form and magnitude to convert a galactic rotation curve exhibiting a Kep-
lerian form [Figures 1 or 3] to a flat one [Figure 4]. That is, the rotation curve of Figure 5 exhibits V directly
proportional to the square root of R and the Keplerian rotation curve exhibits V inversely proportional to the
square root of R. The two effects tend to cancel and leave a flat rotation curve. With the naturally occurring typ-
ical rotation curve modified by the addition of Figure 5 the rotation curve becomes flat, as illustrated in Figure
6, below, by superimposing the curves.
Of course, the rotational velocities corresponding to the components of the total acceleration cannot properly
be added. Rather, the accelerations must be summed and the resulting rotational velocities obtained Equation
(3).

which produces the observed actual flat portion of the rotation curve in the region corresponding to where the
“expectedform is Keplerian.
In spite of intense efforts over a number of years dark matter has not been detected and will not be detected. It
does not exist and is an incorrect hypothesis.
3. The Pioneer Anomaly
The just preceding galactic rotation curve anomalous acceleration Equation (2) is identical in magnitude to the
Pioneer Anomaly anomalous acceleration. The Pioneer Anomaly [2] is a small acceleration in that amount, cen-
trally directed [toward the Sun], constant, distance independent, and of unknown cause. The evidence for it is
abundant tracking data that have been reviewed and re-reviewed in search of error with the result that the effect
is highly validated.
Since the original reporting of the Pioneer Anomaly in 1998 sources of systematic error external to the space-
craft [e.g. solar wind/radiation], internal to the spacecraft [e.g. gas leakage], and in the computational system
[e.g. model accuracy/consistency] have all been thoroughly examined. All of those sources of error are either too
small, not applicable, and/or act in the wrong direction to account for the phenomenon. The input of suggested
sources of systematic error to those analyses has been not only from the research team of authors but from a
number of other sources interested in the problem. The source area of systematics has been essentially ex-
hausted.
The only difference between the Pioneer Anomaly acceleration and the galactic rotation curve anomalous ac-
celeration is that in the Pioneer case the acceleration is directed toward the Sun, the dominant factor in the me-
chanics of the Pioneer spacecrafts’ motion whereas the galactic rotation curve anomalous acceleration is di-
rected toward the rotational center of the galaxy, the dominant factor in the mechanics of galaxy rotation.
4. The Flybys Anomaly
In March 2008 anomalous behavior in spacecraft flybys of Earth was reported in Physical Review Letters, Vo-
lume 100, Issue 9, March 7, 2008, in an article entitled Anomalous Orbital-Energy Changes Observed during
Spacecraft Flybys of Earth[3].
The data indicate unaccounted for changes in spacecraft speed, different changes for different flybys, both in-
creases and decreases, for six different spacecraft involved in Earth flybys from December 8, 1990 to August 2,
2005. These anomalous changes are a function of the incoming and outgoing geocentric latitudes of the space-
craft velocity and further indicate that a latitude symmetric flyby does not exhibit the change. The article states
that, “All… potential sources of systematic error… [have been] modeled. None can account for the observed
anomalies…. Like the Pioneer anomaly… the Earth flybys anomaly is a real effect… Its source is unknown”.
A phenomenon like that involved in galactic rotation curves and in the Pioneer Anomaly would account for
the highly varied occurrences of the flyby anomaly: a small acceleration [in addition to that of natural gravita-
tion], centrally directed and independent of distance; that is a modest and otherwise unknown acceleration di-
rected toward the core center of the Earth, the dominant factor in the mechanics of the flyby.
To observe the relation to the Flybys Anomaly of an otherwise unknown or un-detected anomalous, centrally
directed, distance independent acceleration the first step is to consider a spacecraft pass of Earth all at zero lati-
tude as shown in Figure 7 on the next page. The quantity A is the full anomalous acceleration, C is its compo-
nent parallel to the direction of motion of the satellite, and
θ
is the angle between the directions of action of
those two.
When the spacecraft is at a great distance from Earth, its motion is close to directed toward the center of the
Earth but not exactly so. There a centrally directed acceleration analyzed into components parallel and perpen-
dicular to the spacecraft motion would show most of the centrally directed acceleration acting to increase the
spacecraft speed.

Figure 7. A Zero Latitude Flyby.
As the spacecraft travels nearer to Earth that component parallel to its motion decreases, becoming zero at the
closest approach to Earth. From that point on the parallel component acts in the opposite direction on the space-
craft, that is its effect is to decelerate the spacecraft not accelerate it. Ultimately the anomalous acceleration and
anomalous deceleration experienced by the spacecraft become equal and cancel each other out as shown by the
Anomalous Acceleration Vectorsof Figure 7.
Of the full centrally directed anomalous acceleration, A, its component, C, parallel to the path of the flyby in
this case is Equation (4).

While the actual flyby path is somewhat curved by the Earth’s gravitation, the anomalous acceleration is al-
ways centrally directed toward the core of the Earth.
But if other than at zero latitude as latitude increases the magnitude of C, decreases. For a flyby over the geo-
graphic north pole at 90˚ north latitude the centrally directed acceleration toward the center of the Earth has no
component parallel to the flight path.
For flyby paths at other than zero latitude the effective value of A is a function of latitude,
λ
. The extent to
which the centrally directed anomalous acceleration accelerates or decelerates the spacecraft becomes Equation
(5).

(5)
The gross effect of latitude can be evaluated by examining three cases:
A—The flyby path is symmetrical relative to the equator so that the latitude effect in the first half of the
flyby, for
θ
from 0˚ to 90˚, is exactly offset or balanced by the second half of the flyby, for
θ
from 90˚ to
180˚. This case is essentially the same as presented in Figure 7.
B—The flyby path starts at low latitude and finishes at high latitude as presented in Figure 8.
C—The flyby path starts at high latitude and finishes at low latitude the mirror image of the Anomalous Ac-
celeration Vectors of Figure 8.
Per Figure 7 in the first half of the flight path the effect of the anomalous, centrally directed, distance inde-
pendent acceleration is to increase the speed of the spacecraft whereas the effect in the second half of the flight
path is to decrease the spacecraft’s speed. Case A produces no net anomalous acceleration or deceleration of the
spacecraft because the first and second halves of the flight path balance and offset each other.
In Case B, Figure 8, the first half, i.e. the acceleration half, of the flight path is at low latitude where the lati-
tude effect only modestly reduces the anomalous acceleration magnitude. But for that case and path the second
half, i.e. the deceleration half, of the flight path is at a high latitude where the latitude effect greatly reduces the
anomalous acceleration magnitude. The net effect is a relatively large acceleration followed by a lesser decelera-
tion for a net increase in the spacecraft’s speed.
In Case C, the effect is just the reverse of that in Case B; the first, i. e. the acceleration, half of the flight path is
at high latitude where the effect of the latitude greatly reduces the anomalous acceleration magnitude. But for

that case and path the second, i.e. the deceleration, half of the flight path is at a low latitude where the effect of
the latitude only modestly reduces the anomalous acceleration magnitude. The net effect is a relatively small
acceleration followed by a greater deceleration for a net decrease in the spacecraft’s speed.
Therefore, depending on the specific flight path of the spacecraft’s flyby pass of Earth the spacecraft may ex-
perience an overall net anomalous acceleration or a net anomalous deceleration, those in various amounts de-
pending on the specific encounter and the latitudes involved, and zero net modification if the path is perfectly
latitude symmetrical.
5. The Dark Flow Anomaly
Thus there are small, centrally directed, distance independent, non-gravitational, same, anomalous accelerations
appearing as a near Earth effect [the Flybys Anomaly], a Solar effect [the Pioneer Anomaly], and a galactic ef-
fect [galactic rotation curves]. It can only be concluded that the same effect must appear relative to every planet
[and every planet’s moons], every sun [star], every galaxy and every group of galaxies.
And such a small, centrally directed, distance independent, non-gravitational, same, anomalous acceleration
could be expected to appear for the universe overall, directed toward the center of the universe, the location of
the origin, where it all began.
The universe began with the Big Bang, an immense explosion radially outward in all directions, largely
spherically symmetrically, from an original source “singularity”.
We, residing on planet Earth, of star Sol, in one of several branches of spiral galaxy Milky Way, are located
off some significant distance in our general directionfrom and relative to the location of the original singular-
ity.
We can “seeor detect a large number of neighbor galaxies, distant and near, whose components similarly
proceeded outward from that Big Bangin directions slightly or significantly other than our particular direc-
tion.
But, there is a further mass of stellar bodies that proceeded outward from the Big Bangin directions away
R. Ellman
46
from us. What we can detect is only well less than half the total product of the Big Bang”.
The original location of the singularity, the origin, lies essentially at the center of the largely spherical volume
of the source’s product, the expanding universe. And the universe that we “seelies largely to one side of that
origin’s location
To the above list of three effects caused by the systematic contraction of the universe can now be added the
Dark Flowas originally reported in 2008 and recently further analyzed in terms of extensive new data as re-
ported in NASA Goddard Release No.: 10-023 and in A. Kashlinsky, F. Atrio-Barandela, H. Ebeling, A. Edge,
and D. Kocevski. A New Measurement of the Bulk Flow of X-Ray Luminous Clusters of Galaxies [7].
Distant galaxy clusters mysteriously stream at a million miles per hour towards a single point in the sky,
separate from the expansion of the universe, along a path roughly centered on the southern constellations Cen-
taurus and Hydra. A new study led by Alexander Kashlinsky at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Md., tracks this collective motion—dubbed the dark flow....
The clusters appear to be moving along a line extending from our solar system toward Centaurus/Hydra...
away from Earth. The distribution of matter in the observed universe cannot account for it. Its existence suggests
that some structure beyond the visible universeoutside our horizon’—is pulling on matter in our vicinity”.
This is indication of the overall universe’s experiencing an anomalous centrally directed, distance indepen-
dent acceleration accelerating all the matter of the universe gradually back toward the location of its origin [as
described above]. This “Dark Flowis part of that centrally directed acceleration toward the location of the ori-
gin of the universe, a location at or just beyond the edgeof the universe “see-ableby us.
A mapof the universe that we “seewould look somewhat as in Figure 9, next page, where the regions of
galaxies studied involved in the dark floware indicated in the large colored areas in red, yellow, green and
blue.
6. A General Anomalous Acceleration throughout the Universe
Thus there are small, centrally directed, distance independent, non-gravitational, same, anomalous accelerations
appearing as a near Earth effect [the Flybys Anomaly], a Solar effect [the Pioneer Anomaly], a galactic effect
[galactic rotation curves], and a Universe effect [the Dark Flow]. It can only be concluded that the same effect
must appear relative to every planet [and every planet’s moons], every sun [star], every galaxy and group of ga-
laxies, and the universe overall. In other words as a general cosmic effect.
What could produce such a phenomenon? What would cause there to be a universe-wide occurrence of such
same accelerations?
Taken together, planet relative, star relative, galaxy relative, universe relative, they collectively are a syste-
matic contraction, a gradual reduction in the length component of every physical quantity in the universe. A
general universal decay.
In material reality such decays are exponential. There are myriad examples of such, for example: radioactive
decay, the decay of electrical transients in circuits involving inductance and capacitance, the decay of motion
transients in mechanical systems involving mass and spring, the amplitude decay in a rung bell or a plucked
string, etc. It is not unreasonable that a universe that began with an explosive bangfollow that with a gradual
exponential decay.
Such a decay of the overall universe was predicted and analyzed in detail in 1998, before the appearance of all
except the earliest of the foregoing various anomalies, in the book The Origin and Its Meaning, Section 21 [6].
The Universal Exponential Decay is an exponential decay of the length dimensional aspect of all quantities in
the universe. It involves the fundamental constants (c, q, G, h, etc.) and decay of any of those must be dimen-
sionally consistent with the decay of the others. The dimension that is decaying is length, the [L] dimension in
the dimensions of, for example: the Planck Constant h, [L2/T]; the speed of light c, [L/T]; and the gravitation
constant G, [L3/M·T2]. The time constant of the decay is about

Objections that such an effect would conflict with the known planetary system performance per the highly
accurate planetary ephemeris are a mistaken interpretation of the situation. Consider a planet in circular orbit
around a sun as in Figure 10.

Now, let the length dimensional aspect of all quantities decay, becoming gradually smaller with time [with the
dimensions of all quantities expressed in the fundamental dimensions of mechanics, [length as L], [mass as M],
and [time as T]]. That is, let all lengths, [L], decrease by being multiplied by the decay function of Equation (8).

That will have no effect on the validity of the equilibrium because R, R·D(t), and all occurences of the L di-
mension are dimensionally consistent throughout.
The overall net effect of the decay, D(t) is: R decreases, the required centripetal acceleration decreases in
proportion, the gravitational attraction likewise decreases in proportion, and
ω
is unchanged. Furthermore, we
R. Ellman
48
observers, using our measuring standard ruler, length L of the above Figure 10, would never detect any of the
decay because our standard length would also be decaying at exactly the same rate, in the same proportion.
The point of this obvious mathematics/physics exercise is that a universal decay of the length aspect of all
material reality would not conflict with the planetary ephemeris and would not even be detectable at all except
in unusual circumstances such as the Pioneer and Flyby anomalies and the evidence of galactic rotation curves;
nor would it interfere with the relative values of the fundamental constants and their interactions in physical
laws.
Returning to the orbiting body of Figure 10, the development of the anomalous acceleration is very direct.
The Newtonian component of the centripetal acceleration is only sufficient to maintain the orbit, to keep R con-
stant, to prevent its increasing. For the orbiting body, m, to gradually approach the central mass, M, that is for R
to decrease, additional inward acceleration is required.
That inward acceleration is the anomalous acceleration appearing as a near Earth effect [the Flybys Anomaly],
a Solar effect [the Pioneer Anomaly], and a galactic effect [galactic rotation curves]. It is an unavoidable con-
comitant effect of the contraction of the length dimension [L] of R in the above example and of the systematic
contraction, the gradual reduction in the length component, of every physical quantity in the universe, of all ma-
terial reality.
7. Summary Conclusions
All four effects: the Galactic Rotation Curves Anomaly, the Pioneer Anomaly, the Flybys Anomaly, and the
Dark Flow involve the same common action, a small, centrally directed, non-gravitational, distance inde-
pendent acceleration, apparently the same common acceleration 8.7 × 108 cm/sec2 of Equation (2).
The occurrence of such an acceleration apparently universe-wide is indicative of an on-going general con-
traction of the length aspect of all material reality including the length dimensional aspect of all fundamental
constants.
Details on the universal contraction, or decay—its cause, origin and characteristics are too lengthy for this
report and are provided in full in [6].
8. The Universal Decay
The Universal Decay causes the speed of light now to be a smaller, decayed value relative to light speed earlier.

9. Validating the Universal Decay
Because the speed of light is decaying, light emitted long ago is faster than our present contemporary light,
which causes the ancient light to appear to us to have a longer wavelength, that is, to be Redshifted. Some of
Redshifts, but not more than a minor portion, is due to the Doppler Effect of the astral sourcesoutward veloci-
ties. Attributing all of redshifts to the Doppler Effect results in highly unreasonable recession velocities.
Aside from observation of Redshifts, each observation of which is actually an observation of the universal
decay, there are two other specific experimental observations that can be conducted to verify the Universal De-

cay and the value of its decay time constant.
It can be tested that the speed of the light from distant, significant redshift, astral sources is larger than our
contemporary light speed. The earlier procedure of Michaelson or Pease and Pearson using the Foucault
method is now superseded by the modern procedure, which is to modulate the light beam and use that mod-
ulation to measure the time required for the light to traverse a known distance.
It can be tested that the Planck Constant of the light from distant, significant redshift, astral sources is larger
than our contemporary Planck Constant, h, using the photoelectric effect. Measuring the retarding potential
that reduces the photoelectric current to zero, for light spectrally selected of a specific frequency, plots [for a
set of different frequencies] as diagonal straight lines whose slope is the Planck Constant of that light. See
Figure 11.
