Interpretation of an anticorrelation between $H_0$ and $\log_{10}(\omega_{BD})$ with Brans-Dicke's theory in a triplot diagram

I get below the following contours of a MCMC run with the main cosmological parameters for Brans-Dickce's theory without introducing a cosmological constant ($\Lambda=0$) and considering only baryonic ...

Brans-Dicke formalism: Validity for curve of scale factor vs cosmic time

Within the framework of the Brans-Dicke formalism, after having run a MCMC sampler and, once the best-fits have been found, I inject them into an ODE system resulting from the modified Friedmann ...

If space is expanding, what is the effect on $1/r^2$?

Space is expanding, and this effect can be only detected at large scales, on the scale of galaxies and larger. If space is expanding, the expression $1/r^2$ for the law of gravity will be modified. ...

How do you know what is the fate of the universe in a modified theory of gravity?

Usually when you talk about the final stage of the universe you assume that $\Lambda CDM$ is the correct cosmological model and with that you can analyze what could happen for different values of $\...
