    In some physical communities, in some research areas, in some countries general relativity is still considered an inutile and even dangerous theory, because it does not contribute nor to economic increase, nor to build new weapons, nor to treat pandemic viruses, nor to solve subsequently problems which can arise after such phenomena produce. There is no need of general relativity in solid state, nor in biophysics, nor in agrophysics, i.e, in the science which relates with capillarity phenomena in the soils, or the equilibrium between the rains and productivity of the crops. General relativity is a science related rather with pilosophy than with physics, some people consider. I recollect, how in 1979 at a conference of chairs of Theoretical Physics Departments from all over USSR one discussed about the use of relativity theory in general for the purposes of preparation of specialists for National Economy. So the article under reviewing refers to absolutely other area. We can be quiet that some explosive phenomena in the Universe, which imply general relativity and gravitation such as emergent black holes would not affect Russian ballistic rockets or the Deveselu defence unit. The authors of the actual article have in mind a complete agreement with principles of general relativity and discuss absolutely another case, when some generalization of the principle of equivalence, formulated more than 100 years ago can be allowed, by introducing terms not only linear in scalar curvature, but squared, or at high power degrees. When a number of space-time dimensions greater than 4 is taken into consideration, the consequences coming from the introducing of high power terms in the Lagrangian are considerable and came into contradiction with consequences of the Einstein's linear (in \(R\)) theory. Only in 4 dimensions a total agreement can be found betweeen Einstein's-Hilbert theory and the authors of the present article theory. The article is very interesting in the sense, that such a theory (with higher powers in curvature terms) allows light speed greater than the speed of gravitons and light speed smaller than that of gravitons. The regions with causality o.k. should be searched additionally. One of the main results of the authors consists in the shooting geodesics in the fastest mode applicability in this case. A separate case of interest is the problem of information in such a theory. As it is well known, the black hole's surface is related with black hole's entropy by the well-known Christodoulou-Ruffini-Bekenstein-Hawking relation, while the entropy is related with information. Then, the authors investigate the same problem in the framework of high-order Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The article is well written, illustrated, and mathematically rigorous.
