This work investigates the theoretical and cosmological implications of modifying Einstein's theory of general relativity. It explores two classes of modifications to gravity: those in which the graviton is given a small mass, and those in which Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken. It elucidates the nature of cosmological perturbations in theories of massive bimetric gravity, including a potentially deadly instability. Theories of gravity beyond general relativity could explain why the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, obviating the need for a dark energy, and can also affect the evolution of the early Universe. Next, it investigates the nature of spacetime ... Read more

About Adam R Solomon
Adam Solomon is a theoretical cosmologist interested in how we can unveil the fundamental laws of physics by looking to the sky. While his research has spanned a variety of cosmological observations and fundamental theories, he has focused especially on the mystery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe, and whether this may be a sign of new gravitational physics ...
