There is an anomalous g' ~ 10^-8g(Earth)~ 10^-5 cm/sec^2 from the Sun on
Pioneer.

Imagine a uniform sphere of negative zero point energy density of radius
R centered at the Sun.

G(mass density) is replaced by c^2/\zpf

Let r be the distance of Pioneer from the Sun.

g' = (4pi/3)c^2/\zpfR^3/r^2

On this simplest of models where r R

In contrast, if r R then

g' = (4pi/3)c^2/\zpfr

The measured anomaly is independent of r so both
formulae are wrong. Please read the paper before
spewing yet more technobabble into the group:

Just how many theories are there that explain the Pioneer anomaly? :-)
Not counting one or two that don't even fit the facts.
