Scalar-tensor Theory

In theoretical physics, a scalar-tensor theory is a theory that includes both a scalar field and a tensor field to represent a certain interaction. For example, the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation uses both a scalar field and a tensor field to mediate the gravitational interaction.

Famous quotes containing the word theory:

    The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any- price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
