Pulsars, SKA and Time-Domain Studies in the Future

Pulsars are a classical example for time-domain astronomy. Using just the precisely measured arrival time of pulses from pulsars, we can study a wide range of physics, and in particular probe the validity of theories of gravity. Despite huge success, pulsar astrophysics will completely change with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), lifting pulsar science into a new era of time-domain astronomy. I will review the applications using pulsars and the prospects for the SKA.
