Show affiliationsI discuss the need for second-order self-force calculation (i.e., self-force of O(μ3)) to obtain gravitational waveforms to O(μ0) for extreme mass ratio binary inspiral. Next, I question this need for many astrophysical systems, for which other sources contribute to the orbital evolution at the same order as self-forces do, specifically spin–orbit and spin–spin interaction. Lastly, I discuss the possibility to obtain both a far-field and a near-field description of many interesting physical systems, with much insight into them, and surprising contexts in which self-forces may become important.
