Preface
The 2013 Karl Schwarzschild Meeting on Gravitational Physics (KSM) was a top international event involving the worldwide highest qualified scientific personalities in the field of black hole physics, general relativity, and related topics. It featured the participation of 91 scientists from 15 countries over 4 continents. These attendees included undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, as well as junior and senior faculty. We envisioned the foundational spirit of the conference to be: “by acknowledging the past we open a route to the future.” Here “the past” refers to the pioneering black hole studies of Karl Schwarzschild, a native of Frankfurt am Main, who published his first two papers while attending the Frankfurt-Gymnasiu
