Physical evidence for a modified gravity theory, or discovery of a new theory that better explains existing evidence, or discovery of evidence that disproves GR without a new theory all count.

GR does not have to be totally replaced, and a GR-compatible Grand Unified Theory doesn't count.

Resolved based on my interpretation of expert consensus.

If something like shape dynamics becomes the new consensus, would you resolve YES? Or would you consider it an "interpretation" of GR?

predictedYES

@mariopasquato If shape dynamics becomes the new consensus due to progress on quantum gravity using it, then no. If shape dynamics becomes the new consensus based on a difference in predicted macroscopic observations, yes.

@IzaakWeiss Ok thanks for the clarification!
