报告摘要：

In this talk I will provide an overview on Einstein’s great achievements in gravitation and its applications to astrophysics and cosmology, and discuss what and how we can go beyond Einstein’s theory of gravity, in order to understand various challenges that the theory has been facing. I will focus mainly on some theoretical and observational open questions, such as the beginning of the Universe, the physics at dark age, the nature of dark energy, the physics at the vicinity of a black hole, and the gravitational wave astrophysics. The understanding of such questions forms the current frontiers of gravitation, astrophysics and cosmology.
