Extract
Amongst the various modifications of the general theory of relativity (GRT), the scalar-tensor theory of Brans and Dicke (BDT) is treated most seriously ([2], [17], [13]). The BDT is consistent with observations as long as the coupling parameter ω between the scalar and tensor components of gravitation is about equal to or greater than 500 [18]. However, there are no a priori theoretical reasons for excluding other values of ω. In the limit ω → ∞, the BDT reduces to the GRT for a constant BDT-scalar field Φ
