If it is shown that the effect really is a true one, and not the result of widespread experimental errors, then the search will be on for an explanation.
At the moment it is a true mystery: nobody has any real idea what the cause might be. Some suggestions have included gravitational waves, solar radiation, and the anisotropy of space (the fact that space is different in different directions). All of these physical phenomena are governed by highly complex mathematical models, and unraveling the mystery will take the combined efforts of mathematicians, physicists and astronomers! (However, that will never happen because: They'll never admit the
