Gravity…not what it seems

Well, gosh, apparently the first pillar of modern science has been a bit shaky all these centuries. Newton’s apple may have been misread all along.

Scientists reconstruct the Pioneer spacecraft anomaly

Of cour they hedge a bit by citing “uneven heating” as one of the possible causes of anomalies in the paths of the two Pioneer  space probes.

Could it be that one of the founding principle of modern science, Newtonian gravity, cannot be subject to scientific consensus? If scientists can misjudged this, can they presume to predict the weather more than five days from now? Don’t get us started.
