Abstract

In this contribution to the conference “Beyond Einstein: Historical Perspectives on Geometry, Gravitation and Cosmology in the Twentieth Century,” we give a critical status report of attempts to explain the late accelerated expansion of the universe by modifications of general relativity. Our brief review of such alternatives to the standard cosmological model addresses mainly readers who have not pursued the vast recent literature on this subject.
