## TL;DR

Space-based gravitational wave detectors enable high-precision tests of general relativity and fundamental physics, offering insights into dark matter, cosmic origins, and potential deviations from Einstein's theory in previously inaccessible regimes.

## Contribution

This paper highlights the potential of space-based gravitational wave detectors to revolutionize tests of gravity and fundamental physics beyond current capabilities.

## Key findings

- Potential to detect deviations from general relativity
- Probing dark matter and cosmic origins
- Testing gravity in new regimes

## Abstract

Low-frequency gravitational-wave astronomy can perform precision tests of general relativity and probe fundamental physics in a regime previously inaccessible. A space-based detector will be a formidable tool to explore gravity's role in the cosmos, potentially telling us if and where Einstein's theory fails and providing clues about some of the greatest mysteries in physics and astronomy, such as dark matter and the origin of the Universe.
