I will first discuss how gravity can manifest itself geometrically. Using
different geometrical properties of a spacetime I will formulate
General Relativity in different but equivalent ways. This will allow me
to introduce a generalization of gravity with distinct and interesting
implications for cosmology and black hole physics and how we can
test them.
