The convergence of scalar-tensor gravity to general relativity, or the departure from it, are described in a new analogy with heat dissipation in a viscous fluid. This new thermal picture is applied to cosmology, shedding light on whether gravity deviates from general relativity early on and approaches it later in the cosmic history.

  1. Gravitational Waves as Thermodynamic Shear Excitations in Scalar-Tensor Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In scalar-tensor gravity, a transverse-traceless gravitational wave performs gauge-invariant shear work on the scalar-field fluid, with power = (KT/4) times the squared strain rate.

  2. Towards a causal effective thermodynamics of scalar-tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Extends scalar-tensor gravity thermodynamics to causal Israel-Stewart model via timelike heat flux ansatz, decoupling T and K while preserving GR equilibrium.

  3. Black hole interiors in the thermal view of scalar-tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In the thermal view of Brans-Dicke gravity, black hole singularities are 'hot': the effective temperature KT diverges as 1/t, and a fluid with P=wρ controls whether gravity approaches or departs from general relativity.
