title = "Musings on Lorentz violation given the recent gravitational-wave observations of coalescing binary black holes",
abstract = "The recent observation of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration provides a unique opportunity to probe the extreme gravity of coalescing binary black holes. In this regime, the gravitational interaction is not only strong, but the spacetime curvature is large, characteristic velocities are a non-negligible fraction of the speed of light, and the time scale on which the curvature and gravity change is small. This contribution discusses some consequences of these observations on modifications to General Relativity, with a special emphasis on Lorentz-violating theories.",

note = "These musings are based on Ref. 3, which will soon be published in Physical Review D and are a summary of a talk given at the CPT{\textquoteright}16 conference at Indiana University. I would like to thank Indiana University and the organizers of this meeting for their hospitality duration the duration of the meeting. I would also like to thank Kent Yagi and Frans Pretorius for a careful reading of this manuscript and for many discussions.
