Scientific knowledge has advanced as theoretical predictions are confronted with unambiguous observational data. Our understanding of some of the most exotic elements of our universe, e.g., black holes, neutron stars, supernovae gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), remains incomplete as the theoretical models for such systems are not yet mature. Soon the detection of gravitational waves from strongly gravitating/highly dynamical systems will add a new and in many cases complementary way to probe these systems. The combination of the knowledge gained in both gravitational and electromagnetic wave bands will provide an unprecedented opportunity for analyzing fascinating scenarios and will likely lead to important discoveries in astrophysics, gravity in extreme regimes and cosmology.

随着理论预测面对明确的观测数据，科学知识不断进步。 我们对宇宙中一些最奇特的元素（例如黑洞、中子星、超新星伽马射线暴（GRB））的理解仍然不完整，因为此类系统的理论模型尚未成熟。很快，对强引力/高动力系统的引力波的探测将增加一种新的、在许多情况下是互补的方式来探测这些系统。在引力波和电磁波波段获得的知识的结合将为分析令人着迷的场景提供前所未有的机会，并可能导致天体物理学、极端引力和宇宙学方面的重要发现。
