abstract

A gravity theory is developed with the metric ${\hat g}_{\mu\nu}= {g}_{\mu\nu}+B\partial_\mu\phi\partial_\nu\phi$. In the present universe the additional contribution from the scalar field in the metric ${\hat g}_{\mu\nu}$ can generate an acceleration in the expansion of the universe, without negative pressure and with a zero cosmological constant. In this theory, gravitational waves will propagate at a different speed from non-gravitational waves. It is suggested that gravitational wave experiments could test this observational signature.

  1. Alleviating the Hubble Tension via Cosmological Time Dilation in the meVSL Model

    physics.gen-ph 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0

    The meVSL model's parameter b reduces the baryon drag sound horizon, raising inferred H0, and changes the cosmological time-dilation exponent to n=1-b/4; the paper forecasts SN sample sizes to detect this.
