abstract

Newton's constant has observational effects on both the CMB power spectra and the light curves of SNIa. We use Planck data, BAO data and the SNIa measurement to constrain the varying Newton's constant $G$ during the CMB epoch and the redshift ranges of PANTHEON samples, and find no evidence indicating that $G$ is varying with redshift. By extending the $\Lambda$CDM model with one free parameter $G$, we get $G =(6.65635_{-0.18560}^{+0.18766} ) \times 10^{-11} \rm m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ and $H_0=67.62^{+1.24}_{-1.25} $ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ at 68$\%$ C.L. from Planck$+$BAO$+$uncalibrated PANTHEON. The results show the value of $G$ is consistent with CODATA 2018, but the $H_0$ tension can't be solved in this way.

  1. Constraints on Logarithmic Model Extensions of Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two new logarithmic f(Q) gravity models fit current cosmological data and predict contrasting, testable deviations in the effective gravitational coupling and gravitational-wave damping.

  2. Hubble Tension and the G-step Model: Re-examination of Recent Constraints on Modified Local Physics

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    The paper argues that the G-step model remains a viable solution to the Hubble tension by widening error bars, adopting a weaker luminosity-gravity scaling, and reinterpreting Earth history and distance-ladder data.
