Abstract:Since their prediction in Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravitational waves took a hundred years to be actually detected. Nevertheless, the wait was well rewarded since measuring gravitational waves did not only provide a strong confirmation of the predictions of general relativity, but also offered a new way to study fundamental interactions. The information extracted from gravitational-wave signals allows us to probe the theory of general relativity in the strong-field regime, as well as to study … Show more
