Abstract
Let us declare that the most important devoir of any physical theory is to draw firm predictions for the outcome of laboratory experiments and astronomical observations. Unfortunately, the devoir is quite difficult to fulfill in the case of general relativity, essentially because of the complexity of the Einstein field equations, to which only few exact solutions are known. For instance, it is impossible to settle the exact prediction of this theory when there are no symmetry in the problem (as is the case in the problem of the gravitational dynamics of separated bodies). Therefore, one is often obliged, in general relativity, to resort to approximation methods.
