Probing General Relativity on the Scales of Cosmology
Abstract
The cosmological tests are tight enough now to show that the Friedmann-Lemaître Λ-CDM cosmological model almost certainly is a useful approximation. This means general relativity theory passes significant tests of the extrapolation of some fifteen orders of magnitude from the length scales of the precision tests of gravity physics.
