In February 2016, physicists announced the breakthrough discovery
of the gravitational waves, which were predicted by Albert Einstein
in his century-old theory of General Relativity. These
gravitational waves were emitted as a result of the collision of
two massive black holes that happened about 1.3 billion years ago.
They were discovered at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave
Observatory (LIGO) in the United States and thus marked a new
milestone for physics. However, it remains unclear to physicists
how the gravitational interaction can be included in the Standard
Theory of particle physics which describes the electroweak and the
strong interactions in our universe.In this volume are the
lectures, given by the speakers at the conference on cosmology and
particle physics. The discussed topics range from gravitational
waves to cosmology, dark matter, dark energy and particle physics
beyond the Standard Theory.
