However, it was argued that the 1/R gravity conflicts with solar system tests. While this statement is true if one views the 1/R gravity as an effective theory, we find that this difficulty might be avoided if one treats the 1/R term as a correction to the scalar curvature term in the high curvature limit $R \gg μ^2$.Latex, 6 pages, v2: title changed, revised version to appear in PLBGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryAn alternative explanation of the conflict between 1/R gravity and solar system teststext
