After considering general relativity as either a theory of a Riemannian space-time or as canonical geometrodynamics, the strange behaviour of Einstein's theory in three dimensions is discussed with some emphasis on properties of the break-down of the Newtonian limit. The discussion is extended to homogeneous isotropic cosmologies in n dimensions. Applications include collapsing clouds of dust and static stars in three dimensions.
