There exists a continually slowing of the Earth's rotation. The friction of the ocean tides against shallow basins has long been attributed for this anomaly. There is however shortcomings in the tidal friction theory. In addition, the Moon is apparently gaining angular momentum as its orbit increases by 3.8 cm/year. This gain seems to exceed what is attributed to the gravitational tug of the lagging one meter bulge of the ocean. Astronomers measure rotational velocities for galaxies that do not match Newtonian predictions. Also, the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft are slowing in velocity as they leave the solar system. The common thread of these four anomalies is that they all display behavior regarding momentum that appears to be contrary to Newton's first law. If we explore a common explanation for these four anomalies while adhering to Newton and Einstein we are guided to considerations regarding matter and space. The variability of mass as defined by and demonstrated with Relativity is employed as a starting point for further theoretical considerations regarding momentum.
