This resolution of the bounded L2 curvature conjecture is important because it is a potential step towards the proof of Penrose's famous cosmic censorship conjectures, which concerns gravitational singularities: pathological regions of spacetime where the gravitational field becomes infinite, like in the center of a black hole.
The next week, he presented yet another new paper, this time in a lecture to the academy, showing how general relativity's spacetime curvature solved the outstanding gravitational problem in all of physics, the anomaly in the orbit of Mercury.
Kramer and his colleagues are trying to do just that: «We can test many different aspects, among them the characteristics of gravitational waves, the propagation of light in gravitational fields, the fact that clocks go slower near massive bodies, the curvature of spacetime, etc..
