Description
Theories of quantum gravity generically predict that there are vector and scalar partners of the graviton. These bosons produce new gravitational effects which, in general, tend to cancel in matter because the vector boson produces a repulsive force, whereas a scalar boson produces an attractive force. In this paper we derive the effects which these new interactions will produce in planets. In particular, static Yukawa potential theory is elucidated for massive (nonpointlike) objects
