Description
We briefly review how successfully the Scalar-Tensor-Theory applies to the Accelerating Universe, particularly through the unique way in resolving the Fine-Tuning Problem. An emphasis is placed also on the role of the scalar field as a (pseudo) Nambu-Goldstone boson (dilaton) for the mass generation of the Higgs field. In summation, we achieve an understanding of 2 major issues: mass generation of particles and how we observe the cosmological evolution. The 2 analyses have been woven together into a single formulation, enhancing the idea of unification from a renewed and more fundamental point of view
