Description
I will review the nonrelativisic, or large c, expansion of general relativity and will argue why dynamic matter that sources strong gravitational fields requires the presence of odd powers in this expansion. I will report on ongoing work constructing the effective non-relativistic theory including these odd terms. A number of other peculiarities of the strong field, nonrelativistic corner of GR will be pointed out.
