Black Holes, Gravitational Waves and Fundamental Physics: A Roadmap

Abstract

The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics–dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem–all involve gravity as a key component. And of all gravitational phenomena, black holes stand out in their elegant simplicity, while harbouring some of the most remarkable predictions of General Relativity: event horizons, singularities and ergoregions.
