First publication of the influential paper in which the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation, a theoretical framework to explain gravitation, is presented for the first time. The theory is probably the most famous contestor to Einstein's general theory of relativity. ""The best motivated, least complicated, and relatively most viable among the alternatives to general relativity is probably the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed in 1961 by Carl Brans and Robert Dicke"" (Jammer, Max, Concepts of mass in contemporary physics and philosophy, 2000, p. 136).
