amount of energy used must increase rapidly. Every energy source is finite and so will eventually be used up.
Several space probes, and not only the Pioneer spacecrafts, have shown anomalies in their speed during space missions. These anomalies have been also observed during gravity assist maneuvers, which involve using the gravitational pull of a planet to change the spacecraft's speed and trajectory.The Pioneer anomaly was first detected in the 1980s when the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecrafts experienced a small, unexplained acceleration as they traveled through the outer solar system. The anomaly persisted even after all known sources of acceleration, such as the gravity of the planets and the pressure of sunlight, were accounted for.Other space probes, such as the Galileo and Cassini spacecrafts, have also shown similar anomalies during their gravity assist maneuvers. These anomalies are generally very small, but they are still not fully understood.Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these anomalies, including thermal radiation pressure but also the possibility of new physics beyond our current understanding of gravity like the quantized inertia proposed by Mike McCulloch. I think that the last word has not yet been said on this subject which deserves further research and data analysis to determine the true causes of these anomalies.

Thus, it's very difficult to create an experiment that would prove anything. I started looking at the quantum vacuum after reading an interview conducted with Albert Einstein. Paraphrasing, the interviewer asked how Einstein discovered spacetime and where it came from and was it around even before the big bang? Einstein responded that he created spacetime. It is just a mathematical construct so he can make predictions. Nothing more.The problem is generally not with "new" physics not matching "old" or "classical" physics but rather with them not matching the actual repeatable and carefully measured observations that led the formulation of them in the first place... New physics by definition makes predictions beyond what our current best models do but if they do not predict the old observations as well they do not describe our reality.

Wrong. The Pioneer Anomaly was explained years ago based on RTG thermal effects. For example
...Extraordinary IVO claims require extraordinary evidence.

Lynch1, ∗Center for Theoretical Physics, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea(Dated: March 28, 2023)In this manuscript we confirm the presence of a Rindler horizon at CERN-NA63 by exploring its thermodynamics induced by the Unruh effect in their high energy channeling radiation experiments.
