|  Phenomenology of Brans-Dicke Theory | 
In General > s.a. gravitomagnetism.
  * Properties: The massless field Φ
    is to be thought of as corresponding to a "varying gravitational constant G
    ~ Φ−1"; It incorporates the weak form of
    the equivalence principle, not the strong one; The local special relativistic laws are valid
    as usual; The field Φ interacts with matter only indirectly, through the metric.
  * Bounds on ω: 1973, needed ω
    > 5 for reasonable agreement with experiment; 1987, There are much stronger lower bounds, and it does
    not seem very natural (the ω → ∞ limit of the theory is general relativity, if
    Taa ≠ 0);
    2011, The strongest bound comes from the Cassini mission measurement of the Shapiro time delay, ω
    > 40,000; 2014, ω > 692 (at 99% c.l.) from Planck mission cmb data.
  * And PPN parameters:
    Cosmological models predict a departure from the general relativity value of
    |1−γ| between 10−5
    and 10−7.
