So much of what we do assumes Einstein’s theory of gravity. How can we test that our assumption is reasonable? In this talk I will describe recent approaches to probing the behaviour of gravity on large scales, using a combination of measurements including weak lensing, peculiar velocities, and the Cosmic Microwave Background. I will discuss the current constraints on Einstein’s theory, and the prospects for distinguishing standard gravity from exotic alternatives in the near future.
