The Vainshtein mechanism no longer works in the presence of G5X !!
Ψ0(r), Φ0(r) ∝ 1 r2
Summary
Vainshtein screening successfully operates in the most general second-order scalar-tensor theory, but
- Newton’
s constant G=G(t)
- constrained from PPN and BBN
- inverse-square law can not be reproduced at small
