First sentence: There has been a tremendous growth in the understanding of General Relativity and of its relation to experiment in the past 30 years, resulting in its transformation from a subject in the doldrums on the periphery of theoretical physics, to a subject with a considerable experimental wing and and many recognised major theoretical achievements to its credit.
