Einstein's Famous Blunder - Sixty Symbols

Albert Einstein did amazing things with General Relativity - but he
famously got it wrong when it came to the expansion of the Universe.

I watched the first video and was left wondering why Einstein was so
invested in proving the Universe was static. He proved himself quite
able to think outside the box in most endeavors with the exception of
this particular question.

Although these were entertaining I found the Einstein videos more
interesting.

Re: Einstein's Famous Blunder

Adam G. Riess, in 1998, was _shocked_ to find evidence
that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating.

Today, we know that Einstein's 1917 cosmological constant
is positive -- the expansion is accelerating due to
"dark energy" (entropy).

How could Einstein have known that, back in 1917,
81 years before Adam G. Riess ? !

The cosmological constant has a non-zero,
vanishing positive value, a mathematical
"infinitesimal", steadfastly of the flat
and curving as the curving and flattening
of the flat and curved, it's Einstein's
BIGGEST not-a-blunder.

Largely he held the realm of the
Gendankenexperiment and also he had much
input of contemporaries. There really is
much of the "cause and effect" of physics
in terms of neatly and readily tractable
Gedankenexperiment or gedanken.

We can all be probabilistic and
deterministic both, that probability
models the outcomes quite underneath
measurement is not a fact of the
actions' indeterminacy, at all, instead
the simple acknowledgement of _all the
other actions_, that so contribute
their determinacy in effect.

However, your English skills are lacking;
you're hard to understand.

As for randomness...

No one can accurately predict the weather;
instead, we have "50% chance of rain", and such.

The causes are known, in _theory_,
but there are too many factors to consider.

Well, the simple answer to that is, that Einstein had no idea that a
Dark Energy would exist that would result in the expansion of the
universe accelerating. Instead, he was looking for a Dark Energy that
would result in the expansion of the universe to stay exactly static.

But as the video showed, even if he found the exact right value of Dark
Energy to keep the universe static, it was an unstable static. Unstable
in the sense of how a pencil balanced on its tip is static for very
little time before it falls over again. It was the same sort of
stability that the universe would have if it were static. Any little
movement will cause that entire static nature to come apart. It was this
argument that finally won Einstein over, that his equations were
unstable at maintaining a static universe.

Yousuf_Khan,

Einstein derived the cosmological constant
81 years before the data; even so,
he should've been better at predicting its value.

If only _I_ made such "blunders" !

this particular question.

I does seem mysterious the effort to defend a static universe. It also
is curious that after 1931, Einstein pretty much abandoned doing
anything with general relativity.

I guess we should be satisfied the Einstein gave us a fruitful
relativity theory and contributed in many ways to the quantum
mechanics.

Einstein was not focused on proving static universe.

Einstein was focused on fitting the GR on experimental data,
as data were saying in his time that universe was static,
in contrary to GR, saying it should be dynamic.

When universe expansion was discovered,
Einstein stated it was his biggest mistake
to introduce the cosmological constant into GR..

As accelerated expansion was discovered recently,
it seems it was not a mistake.

Yes -- Thank you for that clarification.

It was a mistake in the sense that he was looking for a Dark Energy that
would exactly balance the expansion rate and make it static. Instead we
got a Dark Energy that supercharges the expansion rate.

The video indicated he was so immersed in calculating a GUT that he had
no time for other work.

At least about relativity and the relationships between space, time
and gravitation.

I like this one because they didn't shy away from showing equations. And
they exactly explained the equations and what they are doing along the way.
