Title |
Modifying Gravity |
|
Abstract |
General Relativity has been a successful theory for more than one century now. I will
briefly review its accomplishments. However, most of the talk will be devoted to the reasons -
both observational and theoretical- that encourage us to modify our current theory of gravity.
I will discuss some alternative theories of gravity and their implications. Among these, I
will focus on the addition of one scalar degree of freedom to standard GR. We will see some
implications for cosmology and black holes. |
