ABSTRACT: The lack of Birkhoff
theorem in finite-range gravitation reveals nonzero acceleration of the test
body inside the massive spherical shell, as well as breakdown of screening
inside the charged conductor gives rise to acceleration of the test charge. An
application of this effect to the motion of galaxies in Local Group allows to
constraint quintessence parameter in some massive gravitational theories.
