Cosmological Constant / Dark Energy 1915 Einstein s GR equations predict a dynamic universe. 1917 But Einstein thought the Universe was static, so he introduced the Cosmological Constant, Λ, to his equations of motion. 199 When Hubble discovered the expansion of the universe, Einstein called Λ his greatest blunder. 1998 SN results show that the universe is accelerating in its expansion so scientists revive Λ The cosmological constant or Dark Energy is thought to be the energy of a vacuum, predicted by quantum mechanics.
