After introducing General Relativity from a variety of geometrical and field-theoretical perspectives, I will discuss its implications for the observable Universe. Some puzzles and challenges arise when cosmological and astrophysical observations are applied, since the inclusion of 3 dark sectors is needed. What is the dark energy, the dark matter and the inflaton field? I will discuss some attempts to answer this question and how we can scrutinize them.
