- More about Topics On Strong Gravity: A Modern View On Theories And Experiments
The book focuses on extended alternative theories of gravity and the best astrophysical laboratories to probe the strong gravity-field regime, such as black holes, pulsars, and neutron stars. It discusses the presence of singularities in extreme physical situations and the need to modify the theory or its parameters in the regime of strong field gravity/high energy and large space-time curvature.

The book delves into extensive alternative theories of gravity and highlights the most suitable astrophysical laboratories for exploring the realm of strong gravity fields: black holes, pulsars, and neutron stars. Readers are bound to feel a sense of satisfaction, akin to what the editor and contributors expressed, as they meticulously curated this comprehensive volume.
For over a century, our understanding of gravitational physics has been rooted in Albert Einstein's groundbreaking theory of General Relativity, which revolutionized our perception of the Universe, its origins, and its evolutionary journey. General Relativity possesses remarkable predictive power, accurately describing a wide range of phenomena across diverse scales. Its rigorous testing has confirmed its remarkable accuracy, aligning with the majority of experimental and observational data. However, it is important to note that the majority of observational and experimental results fall within the weak gravitational field regime.
In recent years, discrepancies between data and the corresponding predictions of General Relativity have sparked intense research endeavors. These discrepancies indicate that either the parameters of the theory must be adjusted in the strong field gravity/high energy and large space-time curvature regime, or the theory itself must be revised.
In this book, we direct our focus toward extended alternative gravity theories and the most effective astrophysical laboratories for probing the strong field regime. Black holes, pulsars, and neutron stars represent the forefront of our exploration, offering invaluable insights into the enigmatic nature of gravity and the cosmos.
By delving into these topics, the book aims to expand our understanding of gravity and shed light on the profound mysteries that still surround us. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and enthusiasts alike, providing a comprehensive exploration of the latest developments in gravitational physics.
