Description
Recent direct detections of gravitational waves provide first in history observations of strong-field dynamics of spacetime. A suite of tests of general relativity can be performed with these observations: the inspiral-merger-ringdown dynamics of binary black hole coalescences, and concerning the propagation of gravitational waves. I will talk about the current status of such tests and the outlook for the future.
