General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract
Recent experiments have successfully tested Einstein's general theory of relativity to remarkable precision. We discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity in the solar system and present motivations for the new generation of high-accuracy gravitational experiments. We especially focus on the concepts aiming to probe parametrized-post-Newtonian parameter and evaluate the discovery potential of the recently proposed experiments.
