Testing Strong Equivalence Principle with Binary Neutron Star Mergers

A new study has utilized observations of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from binary neutron star mergers to test the Strong Equivalence Principle (SEP) of General Relativity. The SEP postulates that all bodies fall with the same acceleration in a gravitational field, regardless of their composition or internal structure.…
