“…After its birth, GTR went to fertilize and seed, directly as well as indirectly, many branches of disparate sciences as mathematics [225][226][227][228][229][230], metrology [231][232][233][234], geodesy [236][237][238], geophysics [239][240][241], astronomy [242][243][244][245][246][247], astrophysics [248][249][250][251][252], cosmology [181,[253][254][255], not to say about the exquisite technological spin-off [256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266][267][268][269][270] due to the long-lasting efforts required to put to the test various key predictions of the theory…”

“…In April 1973 (and therefore before the discovery of the first binary pulsar) G S Bisnovatyi-Koyan and B V Komberg had already suggested that some pulsating x-ray sources in binaries may later in their life, after their massive companion stars have exploded as supernovas, become observable as binary radio pulsars [89]. For an authoritative review of the formation and evolution of relativistic binaries, see the contribution of E P J van den Heuvel to the book [90].…”

The 1974 discovery, by Russell A. Hulse and Joseph H. Taylor, of the first binary pulsar PSR B1913+16, opened up new possibilities for the study of relativistic gravity. PSR B1913+16, as well as several other binary pulsars, provided direct observational proofs that gravity propagates at the velocity of light and has a quadrupolar structure. Binary pulsars also provided accurate tests of the strong-field regime of relativistic gravity. General Relativity has passed all the binary pulsar tests with flying colors. The discovery of binary pulsars had also very important consequences for astrophysics: accurate measurement of neutron star masses, improved understanding of the possible evolution scenarios for the coevolution of binary stars, proof of the existence of binary neutron stars emitting gravitational waves for hundreds of millions of years, before coalescing in catastrophic events radiating intense gravitational-wave signals, and probably leading also to important emissions of electromagnetic radiation and neutrinos. This article reviews the history of the discovery of the first binary pulsar, and describes both its immediate impact, and its longer-term effect on theoretical and experimental studies of relativistic gravity.
