Radioastronomy is undergoing a huge change at the moment, driven by new technology that enables unrivaled sensitivity and exciting new modes of operations. The flag ship programme is the construction of the Square-Kilometre-Array (SKA) - the biggest telescope ever to be built on Earth. The SKA and its important pathfinder projects such as LOFAR, ASKAP, MeerKAT or FAST, will revolutionize the way (radio-) astronomy is done, enabling the study of unresolved problems in fundamental physics. One Key Science Project of the SKA is the study of gravitational physics using Pulsars and Black Holes, while another Key Science Project will solve the questions posed by Dark Energy. In this review, I'll describe some of the experiments in detail, give an overview of the upcoming facilities and present the anticipated timescales. I will also look at synergies between the SKA and instruments in other astronomical windows.
