Abstract
In this chapter we will aim the ambitious task of addressing the burdensome problems of cosmology using the framework of massive gravity. More concrete, we will try to answer the questions of whether or not massive gravity can produce a theoretically reliable self-accelerated geometry and whether or not it can also resolve the cosmological constant problem.

- 1.
Recall that we excluded the helicity-1 part since it only appears quadratically.
