There is a relationship between gyroscope active and inertia, and if the inertial field, which I have been writing about, actually exists, the gyros would not behave as anticipated, the moment of inertial would be thrown off, and the probe was designed to go into a protective state if the moment of inertia seemed to indicate it had been struck, or if the gyros showed out of tolerance gimble.

I agree the Jupiter Galileo gyro results alone is not compelling, but when you add in the fact the probe launched fell like a rock, the landings on Mars have all been harder than expected, the doppler anomaly in the pass by Pheobe, the rotational period of saturn, the Earth-like geography on a moon that can't be made out of anything more dense than water, this evidence all piles up.
