The author studied the fundamental problem of the dynamical effect of an explosion in a self-gravitating fluid in the context of general relativity. The most general self-similar spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein's equations with barotropic perfect fluid, were joined through a shockwave to some Robertson-Walker models of an expanding universe. It has been shown that such solutions comprise an expanding shell of matter surrounding a horizon with an interior singularity.
