Tests of General Relativity and Fundamental Physics with Space-based Gravitational Wave Detectors

Low-frequency gravitational-wave astronomy can perform precision tests of general relativity and probe fundamental physics in a regime previously inaccessible. A space-based detector will be a formidable tool to explore gravity’s role in the cosmos, potentially telling us if and where Einstein’s theory fails and providing clues about some of the greatest mysteries in physics and astronomy, such as dark matter and the origin of the Universe.
