The two most esoteric objects known in the universe are black                   holes and neutron stars (our knowledge of the former is                         indirect).  They constitute unique general relativistic and                     magneto-hydrodynamic laboratories.  Their physics is difficult                  and poorly understood.  The Principal Investigator proposes to                  continue with his theoretical study of these objects, as well as                with work on the related phenomena of gravitational waves and                   causality.  The latter project has as its aim the determination                 of general limits on the physics that may be used by arbitrarily                advanced civilizations.
