On the other hand, this is probably the window on nature that is worst understood, we understand gravity at solar system field strength and distances very well, we have great data from particle physics, but until last year our only evidence for the high field regime of gravity came from pointing telescopes toward astronomical objects - and note that telescopes work with the…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1612.00266/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
