This truly ground-breaking\nwork puts the study of modified gravity models on the same footing as the\nstandard model of cosmology. Since the discovery of the accelerating expansion\nof the Universe, marked by the awarding of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics,\nthere has been a growing interest in understanding what drives that\nacceleration. One possible explanation lies in theories of gravity beyond\nEinstein’s General Relativity. This thesis addresses all aspects of the problem,\nan approach that is crucial to avoiding potentially catastrophic biases in the\ninterpretation of upcoming observational missions.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319336954\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-33696-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 218\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266237780108,"sku":"9783319336954","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319336954.jpg?v=1776462178","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319336954","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
