[101.01] Rossi Prize Lecture: Gamma Ray Bursts: Origins and Consequences

P. Meszaros (Penn State U.)

Some of the major stepping stones towards uncovering the mystery of gamma ray bursts will be discussed. This is an unfinished process, new observations being expected in the near future. I will review the current observational status, and discuss the present theoretical understanding of GRB, as well as the possible impact of future missions and experiments.
