Abstract
This dissertation is written in three tracks. Track 1, (Pages ii-vi) is intended for those many many people who don't know any physics but who do know how to read English and a bit of Hungarian perhaps.
Track 2 is intended for those one hundred or so people in the whole world who do know classical physics and have serious interests in, or are experts in relativity theory. Papers 1, 2 and 3 dealing with relativity are entirely Track 2.
The remaining paper is Track 3 and is for the benefit of even fewer people who have a simultaneous interest in relativity and quantum field theory.
I will not discuss the abstracts of the individual papers here - since each paper is preceded by its own abstract. Suffice it to say that this dissertation is a collection of papers dealing with the theoretical aspects of how gravitational waves may (or may not) be generated by gravitational bremsstrahlung, and in Paper 4 Walter and I try to show that some classical relativity problems may be solved with much greater ease via a quantum approach.
