Modified Gravity

Modified Gravity refers to theories that adjust or extend Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to explain phenomena that traditional gravity fails to account for, such as dark matter and dark energy. These modifications suggest that gravity may behave differently under certain conditions, particularly at large scales or high speeds. By changing the mathematical framework, scientists aim to provide a better understanding of the universe’s structure, dynamics, and expansion. This approach helps address unanswered questions and offers alternative explanations for observations that challenge standard gravitational theories.
