Is General Relativity correct theory of gravitation?
• Numerous tests of GR exist in weak fields• Precession of orbit of Mercury• Bending of star light at solar eclipse• Gravitational lenses• Binary Pulsar• Frame dragging (LAGEOS, Gravity Probe B)• New Test: Precession of orbit & emission of
gravitational waves in OJ287• Strong field -> Black holes

OJ 287 optical variations
1. Jet wobble, 60 yr cycle + 12 yr steps
2. Tidal variations in jet flow, 12 yr cycle
3. Disk impacts, advance relative to the 12 year cycle due to precession
Complete solution of the problem: timing of 6 outbursts
