Carl H. Brans is an American physicist known primarily for his work in theoretical physics and cosmology. He is best known for co-developing the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation in 1961, along with Robert H. Dicke. This theory is an alternative to Einstein's general theory of relativity and introduces a variable gravitational "constant" that depends on a scalar field.
