Experimental General Relativity
Barak Kol (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
It used to be said that Einstein's Gravity (or General Relativity - GR)
was a theorist's paradise but an experimentalist's hell. Today the last
clause is no longer true, as the number of experiments is large and
growing. In this talk we shall review the evolution of experimental GR
from its early origins including Eddington's expedition to current
"big science" for black holes, for gravitational waves and for the
determination of cosmological parameters, finally ending with exciting
future plans and theoretical speculations.
