<br />How does "STVG" compare/relate to the MetaModel?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Based only on the name, there would be very little in common. Moreover, we can be reasonably certain that the Pioneer effect is specific to spacecraft with RTG power generators, and nothing else. (See metaresearch.org/home/viewpoint/meta-in-news.asp ) Does someone interested in STVG want to attempt listing pros and cons vs. MM? -|Tom|-

I looked at the New Scientist article and the theory does in fact invoke gravitons, saying that there are more of them in the presence of high concentrations of matter. But I don't know if these are the same as MM gravitons or not.

Since matter absorbs some MM gravitons, the concentration goes down (a teeny bit) near each mass. Doesn't sound like a match.
