pushing gravity

Tom, is the energy deposited by gravitons the source of the excess heat observed in the planets? The gas giants radiate more energy than they receive from the sun.

See my chapter in <i>Pushing Gravity</i> for a table of predicted and observed excess heat flows and a plausible explanation linking them. -|Tom|-

Thanks Tom, I must get ahold of a copy of Pushing Gravity. But one more question for now, if this is the case, then shouldn't graviton absorpsion be a major power source for the Sun and other stars?

How is this different from Paul LaViolette's mechanism? I read that he proposes that only 1/3 of the Sun's energy source is from fusion (no more solar neutrino problem). I think he discusses this in his book Subquantum Kinetics, which I have not read, but would probably be too technical for me in any case.

The peanut butter question.

If space was peanut butter, would it be smooth or chunky style???
