Line 16: − #Anomalies in the locations of spacecraft that have flown by [[Earth]] ("flybys"). During the gravity assists from Earth, both the Galileo spacecraft and the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft experienced a change in velocity different than that predicted by General Relativity.<ref>http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/bitstream/2014/19088/1/98-0296.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23410705/</ref> Line 52:
Line 51: − #The supermassive black hole within the [[Andromeda galaxy]] puzzled researchers by increasing in brightness by a factor of 100 in 2006.<ref>http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2010/0525/Two-giant-black-holes-surprise-scientists-with-unexpected-behavior.</ref> − #Scientists are unable to explain a June 2012 cluster of earthquakes in Ireland.<ref>http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0607/1224317443871.html</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Ireland Shaken By Earthquake|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/01/26/ireland-earthquake-donegal_n_1233317.html|date=January 26, 2012|work=Huffington Post|accessdate=April 12, 2013}}</ref> − #Apparently, the equations of General Relativity do not apply to the motions of extra-solar planets. Scientists are studying Gamma Cephei, a system of two stars and one known planet. When data from the Hubble Space telescope was analyzed, it was found that the observed orbital arrangement should not be stable.<ref>http://stardate.org/radio/program/gamma-cephei-iv</ref> − #General Relativity fails to predict the Allais Effect. The Christian researcher and economist Maurice Allais noted a sudden change in the orientation of a swinging pendulum during the 1959 solar eclipse.<ref>http://www.allais.info/allaisdox.htm</ref> Many subsequent attempts to duplicate the result have been ''reported as'' failures, consistent with an concerted effort to suppress knowledge about the phenomenon. − #Scientists at the Collider Detector at Fermilab collided protons and anti-protons in 2008. According to Special Relativity, the energy released in such a collision should equal the initial kinetic energy of the colliding particles plus their rest mass energy. The researchers saw more muons than they expected, some particles appearing to originate outside the pipe containing the collision.<ref>http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn15115-has-new-physics-been-found-at-the-ageing-tevatron.html</ref>
