Abstract
We perform large-scale cosmological simulations that solve Einstein's
equations directly via numerical relativity. Starting with initial conditions
sampled from the cosmic microwave background, we track the emergence of a
cosmic web without the need for a background cosmology. We measure the
backreaction of large-scale structure on the evolution of averaged quantities
in a matter-dominated universe. Although our results are preliminary, we find
the global backreaction energy density is of order
