Nasa's Beyond Einstein Program: An Architecture for Implementation

by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Board on Physics and Astronomy, National Research Council

Beyond Einstein science is a term that applies to a set of new scientific challenges at the intersection of physics and astrophysics. Observations of the cosmos now have the potential to extend our basic physical laws beyond where 20th-century research left them. Such observations can provide stringent new tests of Einstein's general theory of relativity, indicate how to extend the Standard Model of elementary-particle physics, and--if direct measurements...
