A friend of mine at a party asked "whats this about Pioneer 10 slowing at 6mph per century ?" It seems a source he came across states that Pioneer (and other craft now left or leaving the solar system) are decelerating at the rate of 6mph per century, the source also stated that this was inexplicable at the moment when all gravitational effects were accounted for.
I seem to remember something about this before, but as I have a memory like a sieve I can't recall what explanation was given. Can anyone help

There are a couple threads in the Against The Mainstream forum: Anomalous Acceleration of Pioneer 10 and 11 and Pioneer 10 off course: an electric universe?

The article I read states:
--------------------------------------------- "The effect shows no sign of getting weaker as the spacecraft travels deeper into space, and scientists are considering the possibility that the probe has revealed a new force of nature." --------------------------------------------- Maybe for some reason we don't yet understand, it's impossible for us to leave our solar system!
