Abstract
We will see how Einstein made it possible for cosmologists to study whole universes. We shall describe discovery that his equations allow expanding universes, rotating universes, chaotic universes, inflationary universes, accelerating universes and multiverses, culminating in the current best descriptions of the Universe we see today and the problems that still remain to be solved by astronomers, mathematicians and physicists.
