Modified theories of gravity are actively investigated and supported by theoretical and observational studies as viable frameworks to address limitations and tensions in general relativity.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains several peer-reviewed studies exploring various modified gravity frameworks (such as generalized Brans-Dicke, f(Q) gravity, and fourth-order gravity). These papers demonstrate that modified gravity models can successfully account for astrophysical phenomena and help resolve existing cosmological tensions, establishing their credibility as alternatives to general relativity. None of the provided papers refute the general premise that modified theories of gravity are credible alternatives.
