We find no way to alleviate the tension between distance measures and horizon-scale growth in this model. Growth alterations due to perturbations propagating into the bulk appear as excess CMB anisotropy at the lowest multipoles. In a flat cosmology, the maximum likelihood Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model is nominally a 5.3⁢𝜎 poorer fit than 𝛬⁢CDM. Curvature can reduce the tension between distance measures but only at the expense of exacerbating the problem with growth leading to a 4.8⁢𝜎 result that is dominated by the low multipole CMB temperature spectrum. While changing the initial conditions to reduce large-scale power can flatten the temperature spectrum, this also suppresses the large angle polarization spectrum in violation of recent results from the five-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. The failure of this model highlights the power of combining growth and distance measures in cosmology as a test of gravity on the largest scales."}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["0808.2208"]},"author":[{"full_name":"Fang, Wenjuan","last_name":"Fang","first_name":"Wenjuan"},{"full_name":"Wang, Sheng","last_name":"Wang","first_name":"Sheng"},{"first_name":"Wayne","last_name":"Hu","full_name":"Hu, Wayne"},{"id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36","full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán","last_name":"Haiman","first_name":"Zoltán"},{"full_name":"Hui, Lam","last_name":"Hui","first_name":"Lam"},{"full_name":"May, Morgan","last_name":"May","first_name":"Morgan"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"11","article_type":"original","date_published":"2008-11-10T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","status":"public","citation":{"short":"W.
