Only a decade ago the detection of gravitational waves seemed like a fantasy to most, and merely a handful of people in the world believed in the validity and even great potential of using the powerful framework of EFT, and more generally -- advances in QFT to study gravity theory for real-world gravitational waves. I will present the significant advancement accomplished uniquely via the tower of EFTs with the EFT of spinning gravitating objects, and the incorporation of QFT advances, which my work has pioneered since those days. Today, only 7 years after the official birth of precision gravity with a rapidly growing influx of gravitational-wave data, and a decade of great theoretical progress, the power and insight of using modern QFT for real-world gravity have become incontestable.
