            gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers opened a
            completely new type of astronomy. Very recently,
            gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers were
            detected, followed up by roughly 70 electromagnetic
            telescopes. Such multimessenger astronomy already brought us
            very important and new implications in various aspects of
            physics. In this talk I will give an overview of the current
            status of this new gravitational wave astronomy and what we
            have learnt so far in terms of astrophysics, nuclear
            physics, gravitational physics and cosmology. I will then
            explain what we expect to find in future in terms of
            fundamental physics with the up-coming multimessenger
            astronomy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
