Gravity

Cosmology is intimately involved with gravity, about which we may have a lot of instincts but not much accurate knowledge. Here's where we finally get down to the hard part. The first trick is to understand that the only interaction that really matters in today's Universe: GRAVITY. To do it right, of course, we must formulate a relativistic theory, since all those distant stars are moving away from us at velocities approaching the speed of light. Enter Albert Einstein, again.
