The Last 50 Years of General Relativity and Gravitation: From GR3 to GR20 Warsaw Conferences

Abstract

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.

15 pages, one figure. Minor typos corrected. A para on talks at GR3 on asymptotics added in the beginning of Section 2
