Rievers’ particular accomplishment: His investigation into the Pioneer anomaly, an observed deviation from [...] modify the theory of gravity because of it. Then, by means of a complex numerical investigation, Rievers was able to show that the probes’ deceleration was due to uneven thermal radiation. As result of [...] In the meantime, this finding has been corroborated by research teams in America and Portugal. Rievers had thus illustrated that the anomaly was indeed in keeping with the laws of physics and the established
