Ray-traced weak lensing convergence in screened modified gravity theories

This episode discusses a paper modeling modified gravity (MG) using FLAMINGO simulations. Researchers compare two screening methods to see how MG affects weak lensing convergence. The findings show a 5% discrepancy between standard General Relativity and MG at large scales, suggesting that ignoring these effects could bias future high-precision astronomical surveys.
