Abstract

An exact class of nonstatic spherically symmetric solutions is obtained for the Einstein field equations with a massive scalar field as source. The solutions are found to characterize the 'strong gravity' associated with elementary particles, and it is shown that Ivanenko's (1965) massive graviton possesses zero spin.
