Gravitational wave memory is an outstanding theoretical prediction of general relativity. It may give an insight to fundamental physics such as quantum gravity. Alongwith the development of gravitational wave astronomy, the gravitational wave memory may be detected in the near future. In this talk I will introduce the physical picture of gravitational wave memory and its relation to fundamental physics. Also I will talk about the possible detection methods of gravitational wave memory and the implications to astrophysics.
