Abstract

On the occasion of the centanary of its formulation, a description is given of the foundation of General Relativity and of the experimental triumphs achieved by Einstein’s gravitational theory during the last one hundred years. In particular we describe the impressive Solar System tests of General Relativity, some of its important applications to our daily life and the present and future efforts to further test the gravitational interaction.
