The last 50 years of general relativity and gravitation: from GR3 to GR20 Warsaw conferences. (English) Zbl 1291.83001
Summary: This article has a dual purpose: i) to provide a flavor of the scientific highlights of the landmark conference, GR3, held in July 1962 at Jablonna, near Warsaw; and, ii) to present a bird’s eye view of the tremendous advances that have occurred over the half century that separates GR3 and GR20, which was again held in Warsaw in July 2013.
