“…However, his work was questioned by some scholars and he also had no confidence in his own results (see Ref. [86]). In 1936, Einstein revisited the topic of GWs with his assistant Nathan Rosen and submitted a paper to Physical Review claiming that there exists no real GWs at all because all the solutions of Einstein's equations would have singularities.…”

“…In 1936, Einstein revisited the topic of GWs with his assistant Nathan Rosen and submitted a paper to Physical Review claiming that there exists no real GWs at all because all the solutions of Einstein's equations would have singularities. This time, Einstein made another mistake of using bad coordinates, which was corrected soon by Howard P. Robertson [86,87]. In a sense, Einstein's suspicions about the truth of GWs promoted this field to move forward.…”

“…In the next year, Richard Feynman solved the problem of whether GWs could transmit energy during the first "GR" conference. Since then the research on GWs entered the era of detection [86,87].…”

We give a brief review on the recent development of gravitational waves in extra-dimensional theories of gravity. Studying extra-dimensional theories with gravitational waves provides a new way to constrain extra dimensions. After a flash look at the history of gravitational waves and a brief introduction to several major extra-dimensional theories, we focus on the sources and spectra of gravitational waves in extra-dimensional theories. It is shown that one can impose limits on the size of extra dimensions and the curvature of the universe by researching the propagations of gravitational waves and the corresponding electromagnetic waves. Since gravitational waves can propagate throughout the bulk, how the amplitude of gravitational waves decreases determines the number of extra dimensions for some models. In addition, we also briefly present some other characteristics of gravitational waves in extra-dimensional theories. a yuh13@lzu.edu.cn b

“…And in the 1990s interest in GWs was further boosted when it was glimpsed the strong possibility that LIGO-type projects that were developed at that time, had a successful end. For a historical review on GWs see Cervantes-Cota et al [173].…”

A hundred years ago, two British expeditions measured the deflection of starlight by the Sun's gravitational field, confirming the prediction made by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. One hundred years later many physicists around the world are involved in studying the consequences and use as a research tool, of the deflection of light by gravitational fields, a discipline that today receives the generic name of Gravitational Lensing. The present review aims to commemorate the centenary of Einstein's Eclipse expeditions by presenting a historical perspective of the development and milestones on gravitational light bending, covering from early XIX century speculations, to its current use as an important research tool in astronomy and cosmology.

In this review paper we investigate the connection between gravity and electromagnetism from Faraday to the present day. The particular focus is on the connection between gravitational and electromagnetic radiation. We discuss electromagnetic radiation produced when a gravitational wave passes through a magnetic field. We then discuss the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with gravitational waves via Feynman diagrams of the process graviton + graviton → photon + photon. Finally we review recent work on the vacuum production of counterpart electromagnetic radiation by gravitational waves. * Preston.Jones1@erau.edu †
