	Allais effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Allais effect is a claimed anomalous precession of the plane of oscillation of a pendulum during a solar eclipse.
		Another anomalous effect during a solar eclipse, an increase in the period of a torsion pendulum, was reported by Saxl and Allen in 1970, but subsequent attempts to replicate this experiment (under different eclipse geometries and with much smaller pendulum bobs) failed to observe any effect (Kuusela, 1991; Jun, 1991).

	THE ALLAIS ECLIPSE EFFECT AND THE SOLAR ECLIPSES OF THE NEXT TEN YEARS
		Allais later shifted his personal emphasis from the field of physics to economic theory, and in 1988 he was awarded the Nobel prize in economics.
		It might well be the case that the Allais Eclipse Effect does not manifest itself at every location during a solar eclipse, or indeed during every solar eclipse; various types of special condition (upon the geometry of the eclipse and upon the position of the observer, for example) might be prerequisites.
		In 1954 the observer (Allais in Paris) was between these two notional scissor blades around the time of their closest mutual approach, whereas in 1959 he was not.

	French Nobel Laureate turns back clock
		Allais got similar results when he later repeated the experiment during a solar eclipse in 1959.
		Two effects of an eclipse that don't require any complex instruments to register are its optical shadow and the cooler temperatures that lag by about half an hour the eclipse maximum (called second contact).
		When Allais won the Nobel in 1988 at age 77 he had all but given up hope of acknowledgement, but as a commentary on his prize remarked at the time: "It was not till now that we discovered his greatness.

	Maurice Allais
		The contribution Allais is generally best known for in the Anglo-Saxon world is the "Allais Paradox" in the theory of choice under uncertainty - which he presented in a series of papers in 1953.
		The idea introduced by Allais is that there is a systematic relationship between the an agent's attitude towards risk and the "degree of certainty", what was later called the "common consequence effect".
		Nonetheless, despite the numerous setbacks during his professional career, Maurice Allais was vindicated by being made an officer of the Legion of Honor in 1977 and a richly- deserved Nobel Memorial prize in 1988.

	Decrypting the Eclipse
		The Allais effect observed over 2 and an half hours during the shadow of an extended solar eclipse's onset and departure equals nearly the magnitude of the Foucault effect itself (or about one tick shown).

	Decrypting the eclipse
		Allais' pendulum experiments earned him the 1959 Galabert Prize of the French Astronautical Society, and in 1959 he was made a laureate of the United States Gravity Research Foundation.
		If the scientists do observe the Allais effect, the prevailing question will be "Why does it occur?" So far, explanations have included the anisotropy of space (the condition of having different properties in different directions), gravitational waves, and solar radiation.

	Gravity and antigravity (1)
		Maurice Allais conducted experiments in 1953 to investigate the action of a magnetic field on the motion of a glass pendulum oscillating inside a solenoid, and concluded that there was a connection between electromagnetism and gravity.
		Takaaki Musha holds that the effect may involve the generation of a new gravitational field inside the atom by a high-potential electric field, due to an interaction between electricity and gravitation whose mechanism is not yet understood.
		Another remarkable effect is that if an upright pencil is placed in the path of the shaft of a precessing flywheel, it can arrest the flywheel’s precessional motion without any lateral force arising on the pencil; in other words, the flywheel produces little or no centrifugal force.

		While this experiment does not rule out that the effect of the asking price was due to a rational response to the assumed information in the asking price, the effects of asking price are remarkably large, given that so much other information on the house was also given.
		The disjunction effect is a tendency for people to want to wait to make decisions until information is revealed, even if the information is not really important for the decision, and even if they would make the same decision regardless of the information.
		The disjunction effect is a contradiction to the "sure-thing principle" of rational behavior (Savage 1954).

		In 1954 Maurice Allais, a French economist who would go on to win, in 1988, the Nobel prize in his subject, decided to observe and record the movements of a pendulum over a period of 30 days.
		Since that first observation, the “Allais effect”, as it is now called, has confounded physicists.
		If the effect is real, it could indicate a hitherto unperceived flaw in General Relativity—the current explanation of how gravity works.

		Surprisingly, Allais saw the pendulum’s rotation rate increasing and decreasing in the course of a day, which was mysterious enough.
		To Allais, the mysterious behaviour sounded as if it could signal the collapse of Einstein’s general theory of relativity — a view he still holds today at the age of 93 and with the 1988 Nobel prize for economics under his belt.
		If the eclipse effect and the Pioneer anomaly both turn out to be connected with gravity, says Duif, they could very well be related, and the same might even be true for dark matter.

		Allais findings remain unproven and controversial, but with the last solar eclipse of the century to occur on Wednesday, the mystery might finally be resolved.

	Gravitation - Einstein
		All the scientific work of Maurice Allais relates to the field of the gravitation, the velocity of the light and the anisotropy of space.
		Maurice Allais, initially, carried out his own experiments which led him to observe the existence of phenomena incompatible with the commonly accepted theories.
		He then could observe that these results contain the same anomalies which were not noticed at the time by the experimenters or were neglected.

		In this case as the Moon approaches the limb the gravity waves from the Sun are refracted by the Moon to the side slightly causing a local reduction in the power supplied to the eclipse area on Earth by the Sun.
		You would also need an explanation for how to make the atmospheric effect go away, because the overhead air mass really does change near solar eclipses (as measured by barometers) by an amount that must produce a measureable effect.
		The term "gravity waves" refers to an atmospheric effect caused by gravity, and is therefore not used in gravitation or relativity.

	Anti Relativity : Dayton Miller gets thousands of positive MMX results
		Maurice Allais, a physicist and Nobel Prize winning economist, as well as the man for whom the Allais Effect is named.
		When Allais was able to get enough of Dayton Miller's work from the hands of Shankland, who still possesses much of the material, he was able to determine by statistical analysis that Miller's recorded data coincided exactly with the Earth's orbit.
		These new findings by Allais prove, beyond doubt, that very real non-null readings came from the Miller experiments and thereby invalidate the second postulate of special relativity.

		That would be a bombshell—and an ironic one, since it was observations taken during a solar eclipse (of the way that light is bent when it passes close to the sun) which established General Relativity in the first place.
		A team of researchers have developed a method that could vastly improve the ability of atomic force microscopes to "see" the chemical composition of a sample, follow variations of the sample, as well as map its topographic structure.
		The advance could have significant implications for drug development by allowing scientists to monitor the effects of potential drugs on an ever-smaller scale, according to Stuart Lindsay, director of the Center for Single Molecule Biophysics at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and a lead researcher on the project.

		There have also been suggestions that magnetic effects in materials whose behaviour is dominated by quantum effects, such as superconductors, might induce a kind of artificial gravity.
		The “siren” effect, as yet undiscovered, is not the teleportation of quantum states.
		The idea of the “siren” effect is to treat the lambda point as a boundary or barrier and allow the pure phonon frequency to act as a quantum tunneling device or an artificial plateau wherein electrons can be “fooled” into thinking it is safe to form Cooper pairs.

		Though the results were negative there is significant reason to believe that that the circumstances of eclipse and location of the equipment in these new tests was different enough from Allais tests to change the outcome.

		A solar eclipse coincidentally occurred during this time and an anomalous effect was observed; the precession rate of the pendulum increased from 0.19 degrees per minute to 0.96 degrees per minute.
		NASA is interested in this effect and has studied it in the past, from Wernher von Braun in 1958 to the Marshall Space Flight Center in 1999.
		This interest lies with the observation of a reduced acceleration of three probes that have left the solar system, Pioneer 10 (1972), Pioneer 11 (1973), and Ulysses (1989), that is of the same order as the Allais Effect.
