摘要
An extension of Horava-Lifshitz gravity was recently proposed in order to address the pathological behavior of the scalar mode all previous versions of the theory exhibit. We show that even in this new extension the strong coupling persists, casting doubts oil whether such a model can constitute ail interesting alternative to general relativity (GR).
