The intention
Show that the theory of relativity also supports a Static universe. This was the universal wisdom at the time of the drafting of his theory of relativity.
The approach
The theory of relativity stated that the universe could not be static, dit loste Einstein op door een \”Cosmologische Constante\” to include in his theory. This enabled him to keep the universe static depending on its value, to expand or contract.
The result
A few years after the publication of his Theory, Hubble's law showed that the universe was actually expanding. So the Cosmological Constant was not needed at all. Einstein always talked about his biggest blunder!!!
The lessons
The Cosmological Constant has made some Come Backs, but was refuted time and time again. But in 1998 it became clear that the universe was not only expanding but even accelerating. And to make this possible, the Cosmological Constant is the only solution. Einstein's Biggest Blunder also turned out to be brilliant…..
