Dicke was instrumental in proposing extremely sensitive tests of General Relativity.  Modern measurements of the various tests, specifically from the Mariner 6 spacecraft in 1969 and the Cassini spacecraft in 2004, show that plain Einsteinian relativity, not the Brans-Dicke theory, agrees with observation<ref name="exper"/>.  Nevertheless, interest in the Brans-Dicke formulation has recently revived, in the context of dark matter / dark energy investigations.
