The gravity of modern amplitudes: using on-shell scattering amplitudes to probe gravity

In this thesis, we explore the use of on-shell scattering amplitudes as a way to understand various gravitational phenomena. We show that amplitudes are a viable way of studying certain aspects of gravity and showcase three such novel results here. First is the computation of the deflection angle of...
