از سال 1975، جلسات مارسل گروسمن برای ارائه فرصت هایی برای بحث در مورد پیشرفت های اخیر در گرانش، نسبیت عام و نظریه های میدان نسبیتی، با تأکید بر مبانی ریاضی، پیش بینی های فیزیکی و آزمون های تجربی، سازماندهی شده است. هدف از این جلسات تسهیل تبادل بین دانشمندان است که ممکن است درک ما از ساختارهای فضا-زمان را عمیق تر کند و وضعیت آزمایش های در حال انجام با هدف آزمایش نظریه گرانش اینشتین از زمین یا فضا را بررسی کند. هشتمین نشست مارسل گروسمن برگزار شد. در 22-27 ژوئن 1997، در دانشگاه عبری اورشلیم، اسرائیل. برنامه علمی شامل 25 گفتگوی عمومی و 40 جلسه موازی بود که طی آن 400 مقاله ارائه شد. مقالاتی که در این کتاب آمده است، تمام جنبه های گرانش، از مسائل ریاضی گرفته تا مشاهدات و آزمایش های اخیر را پوشش می دهد.
Since 1975, the Marcel Grossmann Meetings have been organized to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativistic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions and experimental tests. The objective of these meetings is to facilitate exchange among scientists that may deepen our understanding of space-time structures and to review the status of ongoing experiments aimed at testing Einstein's theory of gravitation from either the ground or space.The Eighth Marcel Grossmann Meeting took place on 22-27 June, 1997, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. The scientific program included 25 plenary talks and 40 parallel sessions during which 400 papers were presented. The papers that appear in this book cover all aspects of gravitation, from mathematical issues to recent observations and experiments.
