It also eliminated any need for a cosmological constant to hold the galaxies steady. During his 1931 California visit, Einstein acknowledged as much. “The red shift of distant nebulae has ...

That's why astronomers have thought that dark energy could be the same thing as Albert Einstein's "cosmological constant," which was an extension of his theory of general relativity. Einstein ...

The cause of this acceleration is a mystery and has been given the placeholder name "dark energy"; the best current explanation for it is the cosmological ... posited by Einstein in 1915.

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

They create the maps by observing how much dark matter bends visible light. It was a serious misjudgment on Einstein's part to dismiss the idea, at least initially, considering how important the ...

Examples include Einstein's Cosmological Constant, dark energy, the initial proposals of dark matter and inflation. A common feature of "fudge factors" in science is their arbitrariness, and their ...
