A new solution of Einstein's vacuum field equations
A new solution of Einstein's vacuum field equations is discovered which appears as a generalization of the well-known Ozsváth–Schücking solution and explains its source of curvature which has otherwise remained hidden. Curiously, the new solution has a vanishing Kretschmann scalar and is singularity-free despite being curved. The discovery of the new solution is facilitated by a new insight which reveals that it is always possible to define the source of curvature in a vacuum solution in terms of some dimensional parameters. As the parameters vanish, so does the curvature. The new insight also helps to make the vacuum solutions the Machian solutions.
