1. Edward Witten:

   There are a lot of basic things about Einstein's theory of relativity that seemed like science fiction when I was a student, this is the first time we've seen the full force of Einstein's theory of gravity at work.

2. Andrea Ghez:

   Einstein's right, at least for now, we can absolutely rule out Newton's law of gravity. Our observations are consistent with Einstein's theory of general relativity. However, Albert Einstein theory is definitely showing vulnerability. It can not fully explain gravity inside a black hole, and at some point we will need to move beyond Einstein's theory to a more comprehensive theory of gravity that explains what a black hole is.

3. Sharon Morsink:

   At some level, the majority of physicists believe that Einsteins theory of gravity, called general relativity, is correct. However, that belief is mainly based on observations of phenomena taking place in regions of space with weak gravity, while Einsteins theory of gravity is meant to explain phenomena taking place near really strong gravitational fields, neutron stars and black holes are the objects that have the strongest known gravitational fields, so any test of gravity that involves these objects really test the heart of Einsteins gravity theory.

4. Sharon Morsink:

   In that work, we have to assume that Einsteins theory of gravity is correct, since the data analysis is already very complex, so tests of Einsteins gravity using neutron stars really make me feel better about our assumption that Einsteins theory describes the gravity of a neutron star correctly!
