While general relativity possesses local Lorentz invariance, both canonical quantum gravity and string theory suggest that Lorentz invariance may be broken at high energies. Broken Lorentz invariance has also been postulated as an explanation for astrophysical anomalies such as the missing GZK cutoff. Therefore, we seek an effective field theory description of gravity where Lorentz invariance is broken. We will construct a candidate theory and then briefly discuss some of the implications.

The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
Experiments confirm general relativity to high precision in weak-field and strong-field regimes, with gravitational wave damping matching predictions to better than 0.5 percent.
