... It turns out one possibility is a form of matter/energy invented by Einstein in the 1920s to make sure his equations of General Relativity did not predict the Expansion of the Universe. Although Einstein was willing to predict several things with his equations of General Relativity, he obviously thought an expanding Universe was too much, and so he invented the Cosmological Constant, which repels itself, and was meant to balance the force of gravity, and make the Universe static. ...

... Dark energy is believed to be a component of the Universe whose repulsive gravity is presently accelerating the expansion of the Universe.€а Although it comprises the bulk of the mass-energy of the Universe, its nature is not well understood.€а €аAlbert Einstein originally suggested its existence about 80 years ago. A supernova is the explosive death of a star, which unleashes a burst of light through the cosmos. ... This website is a gift from Nancy Riess . ...

The ring wall, especially well preserved along the southeast shore of the lake, the steep banks and the great depth, all indicated that at one time there had been a powerful explosion here. ... It is possible that the depth may have been 40 meters before but that the slumping of the banks was helping to decrease the depth. ...

... Rumors of a Strange Universe . ... NASA Explanation: Only a few short years ago , when the APOD editors were in graduate school, the pervasive, cosmic Dark Energy was not even seriously discussed. Of course, it now appears that this strange energy dominates the cosmos (as well as lectures on cosmology ) and provides a repulsive force accelerating the large scale expansion of the Universe . ...

... Cosmic Vacuum . Recent observational studies of remote supernovae have suggested the existence of cosmic vacuum with the density which is larger than the total density of all the other forms of cosmic energy in the Universe. Vacuum produces the field of anti-gravity and induces acceleration of the cosmological expansion. ...
