| Abstract: | The recent discovery of the Higg’s boson at CERN has generated a lot of interest in Scalar Tensor Theories of Gravitation. These theories model the effect of gravity as the combined effect of curvature of spacetime, as originally described by Einstein’s General Relativity, together with a scalar field which is coupled to the curvature. Black Hole spacetimes in these theories are discussed, along with a detailed analysis of the Martinez-Troncoso-Zanelli (MTZ) [45] spacetime, including calculations of timelike trajectories of uncharged, and scalar charged test particles, and a discussion of the spacetime’s turnaround radius. |
