Gravity Waves: General Relativity

Scientific paper

Observing the speed, polarization, and back influence of gravitational waves would subject Einstein's theory to new tests. There are three aspects of gravitational radiation that can be subjected to testing. The polarization content of the waves (general relativity predicts only two polarization states, whereas other theories predict as many as six). The speed of the waves (general relativity predicts a speed the same as that of light, whereas other theories may predict different speeds). The back influence of the emitted radiation on the evolution of the source. The author discusses the three possibilities.
