The Standard Model of particle physics needs to be completed to address observational facts such as the matter antimatter asymmetry and the dark matter of the universe, as well as the origin of inflation. These, together with a number of other …
Gravitational-wave sources offer us unique testbeds for probing strong-field, dynamical, and nonlinear aspects of gravity. In this chapter, we give a brief overview of the current status and future prospects of testing general relativity with …
The era of Gravitational Wave (GW) Astronomy started on September 14, 2015, with the first observation of GWs from the merger of a binary black hole (BBH) system by the Advanced LIGO detectors. Two years later, on August 17, 2017, the detection of …
Early one September morning in 2015, the last of four predictions Einstein had made when he completed his general theory of relativity [1] a century earlier was confirmed using one of the most remarkable scientific instruments ever built.
