CONTACT:Valentin Hübner
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: General Relativity is a very elegant theory that cha
 nged the way we think about gravitation and appears to be in perfect agree
 ment with observations. For a period of almost 200 years\, one could make 
 the exact same statement about Newton's theory of gravity\, and yet it cam
 e to be replaced by General Relativity. I will review how that happened an
 d explain why one expects that General Relativity will have the same fate.
  I will then discuss current efforts to test General Relativity's predicti
 ons against observations.\n\n--\n\nAs always we welcome you all to join us
  for dinner afterwards! It's a great opportunity to discuss the talk with 
 other audience members\, as well as a chance to talk to Prof. Sotiriou. Th
 is week we'll be at "The Punter". If you would like to come and join us af
