New physics? Then why don't comets drift off course? They do. Outgassing adds random changes of course far greater than the anomaly. However, the planets do not seem to be affected at the same level of acceleration. For explanations such as drag where the force depends on cross-sectional area while mass depends on volume, the effect could be so small as to be undetectable hence is still difficult to rule out.
