abstract

A gravity theory is developed with the metric ${\hat g}_{\mu\nu}= {g}_{\mu\nu}+B\partial_\mu\phi\partial_\nu\phi$. In the present universe the additional contribution from the scalar field in the metric ${\hat g}_{\mu\nu}$ can generate an acceleration in the expansion of the universe, without negative pressure and with a zero cosmological constant. In this theory, gravitational waves will propagate at a different speed from non-gravitational waves. It is suggested that gravitational wave experiments could test this observational signature.

  1. New analysis of SNeIa Pantheon Catalog: Variable speed of light as an alternative to dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A variable-speed-of-light model with a modified Lemaître redshift formula fits the Pantheon supernova catalog with H0 ≈ 47 and no dark energy.

  2. Alleviating the Hubble Tension via Cosmological Time Dilation in the meVSL Model

    physics.gen-ph 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The meVSL model's parameter b reduces the baryon drag sound horizon, raising inferred H0, and changes the cosmological time-dilation exponent to n=1-b/4; the paper forecasts SN sample sizes to detect this.

  3. Revisiting Varying Speed of Light in Cosmology: Insights from the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker Metric

    physics.gen-ph 2025-05 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    A varying speed of light in FLRW is presented as gauge freedom via the lapse function, but the key variational derivation omits the √-g measure and the claimed Hubble-tension resolution contradicts Eq. (30).
