Description
General relativity considers spacetime to by a dynamic object. The notion of time-evolving gravitational fields is most prevalent in gravitational waves and cosmological solutions. Observations of spacetime dynamics in these systems is not only possible but gives a glimpse into the fundamental laws of Nature. The course gives an intuitive introduction into the concepts of relativity and discusses observations in cosmology and gravitational waves, giving an outlook on how these experiments impact gravitational physics.
