Please answer the following question: What type of details about carl h. brans can be gathered from the following bio? Bio: carl henry brans -lrb- born december 13 , 1935 -rrb- is an american mathematical physicist best known for his research into the theoretical underpinnings of gravitation elucidated in his most widely publicized work , the brans -- dicke theory . a texan , born in dallas , carl brans spent his academic career in neighboring louisiana , graduating in 1957 from loyola university new orleans . having obtained his ph.d from new jersey 's princeton university in 1961 , he returned to loyola in 1960 and later became the j.c. carter distinguished professor of theoretical physics . since then he has held visiting professorships at princeton university , the institute for advanced studies , and the institute for theoretical physics at the university of koeln , germany . brans is well known among those engaged in the study of gravity and is noted for his development , with robert h. dicke of the brans -- dicke theory of gravitation in which the gravitational constant varies with time , a leading competitor of einstein 's theory of general relativity . the work of brans and dicke actually was closely related to earlier work of pascual jordan , but was developed independently . this formulation is often referred to as the jordan -- brans -- dicke -lrb- jbd -rrb- scalar -- tensor theory of gravity . in this theory , based on speculations of mach , eddington , dirac and others , a universally coupled scalar field , in addition to the metric , is introduced which ultimately results in a theory in which the gravitational constant depends on the distribution of matter in the universe . a number of very accurate measurements made in the late 1970s has indicated that jbd fares no better than the simpler standard einstein general relativity , in the solar system context . however , developments in string theory and in inflationary cosmology have renewed interest in scalar field modifications of standard general relativity , although not in the original jbd form . in the 1960 's and 1970 's brans developed a complete and effective...
