  The confrontation between General Relativity and experimental results,
notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. The
agreement between experiment and theory is numerically very impressive.
However, some recent theoretical findings (existence of non-perturbative
strong-field effects, natural cosmological attraction toward zero scalar
couplings) suggest that the present agreement between Einstein's theory and
experiment might be a red herring and provide new motivations for improving the
experimental tests of gravity.
