Understanding exact space-times
Podolský, J.
General relativity is a unique gem, Einstein’s most brilliant idea, and his greatest gift to humankind. Conceived in
1915, it still remains the best theory of gravity. I’m sure Einstein himself would be surprised how remarkably well it
describes reality, even in the most violent and dynamical situations. Just recall its recent spectacular vindication by
the first direct detection of gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers at cosmological distances. What an
achievement! Gravitational waves, black holes, cosmology – all three main ingredients and predictions of Einstein’s
theory combined together.
