Problems with Gravity

From our wiki buddies - fascinating list of recent alternative theories

Brans-Dicke theory of gravity (1961)
Induced gravity (1967), a proposal by Andrei Sakharov according to which general relativity might arise from quantum field theories of matter.
Rosen bi-metric theory of gravity
In the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) (1981), Mordehai Milgrom proposes a modification of Newton's Second Law of motion for small accelerations.
The new and highly controversial Process Physics theory attempts to address gravity
The self-creation cosmology theory of gravity (1982) by G.A. Barber in which the Brans-Dicke theory is modified to allow mass creation.
Nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) (1994) by John Moffat
Tensor-vector-scalar gravity (TeVeS) (2004), a relativistic modification of MOND by Jacob Bekenstein
