The discovery of astrophysical gravitational waves has opened a new avenue to explore the cosmos using transients. I will discuss a few new frontiers in the field of physical cosmology and fundamental physics that can be explored using gravitational waves from the ongoing gravitational wave detectors and in the future from gravitational wave detectors such as LISA, Einstein Telescope, and Cosmic Explorer. I will elucidate the existence of synergies between the electromagnetic signals and gravitational wave signals and its importance in understanding the standard model of cosmology and unveiling new physics.
