'The book concentrates attention on extended alternative theories
of gravity and on the best astrophysical laboratories to probe the
strong gravity-field regime: black holes, pulsars and neutron stars
... Readers will likely share the satisfaction the editor and
contributors say they experienced as they organized the
book.'SirReadaLotFor more than a century, our understanding of
gravitational physics was based on Albert Einstein's theory of
General Relativity, which fundamentally changed our understanding
of the Universe, its origin, and its evolutionary process. General
Relativity accurately describes a large number of phenomena on very
different scales. As such, it has been very well tested and its
remarkable predictions are compatible with most experimental and
observational data. However, the observational and experimental
results compatible with General Relativity fall in its vast
majority under the weak gravitational field regime. In recent
years, discrepancies between the data and the corresponding
predictions of General Relativity have been observed and have
generated intense research activity. One of the most critical
aspects of General Relativity is the presence of singularities in
extreme physical situations. These discrepancies indicate that
either the parameters of the theory must be modified in the regime
of strong field gravity/high energy and large space-time curvature,
or the theory itself should be modified. In this book, we focus our
attention on extended alternative gravity theories and the best
astrophysical laboratories to probe the strong field regime: black
holes, pulsars, and neutron stars.
