Two of the greatest mysteries in cosmology are the nature of dark energy and the apparent conflict in our measurements of the expansion rate of the early universe vs the modern universe that even dark energy can't account for. Could both of these be explained by looking to a part of the universe that we've largely
ignored so far? Could cosmic voids be driving the universe? Einstein completed his general theory of relativity in 1915 and it didn't take long for other physicists to figure out some pretty astonishing stuff.
Maybe the most famous is how Carl Schwarzschild solved the Einstein equations to describe the nature of space-time near a compact mass and in the process found the equation for black holes. But not long after, Alexander Friedman solved the Einstein equations to discover the nature
