vacuum solutions

Vacuum solutions in physics and general relativity describe scenarios where space is essentially empty, containing no matter or energy. Despite this, the fabric of spacetime can still curve due to gravity from distant objects like stars or black holes. These solutions help scientists understand how gravity operates in empty regions of space, predicting phenomena such as the bending of light or the behavior of black holes without the influence of nearby matter. They are important for modeling and understanding the structure and dynamics of the universe at large scales, where emptiness plays a significant role.
