Cosmological antigravity

Article Abstract:

Albert Einstein's theory of a cosmological constant was proposed so that the universe would have a repulsive force, a form of anti-gravity in which the universe would expand eternally. Even though Einstein eventually discarded his theory, it is being used to explain the acceleration of universe's expansion.

From slowdown to speedup

Article Abstract:

The emission of fainter light from the supernovae was an indication that they traveled a greater distance than expected. This led to the conclusion that the universe is actually speeding up, not slowing down due to the presence of a dark energy form.

A COSMIC CONUNDRUM: a new incarnation of Einstein's cosmological constant may point the way beyond general relativity

Article Abstract:

The article examines the influence of Albert Einstein's theories in the development of the cosmological constant, drawn from quantum mechanics principles. Implications for research on the universe are discussed.
