Einstein's 'Biggest Blunder' Wasn't a Mistake—He Predicted Dark Energy & Then Deleted It | Penrose

Описание: Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose reveals the shocking truth about Einstein's "biggest blunder": In 1917, Einstein added the cosmological constant (Λ) to his equations, then removed it in 1929 calling it a mistake. But in 1998, we discovered dark energy—and it behaves exactly like Einstein's deleted constant. He didn't make a mistake adding Λ; he made a mistake deleting it. Discover why Einstein's intuition failed him, how dark energy constitutes 68% of the universe, why quantum field theory predicts Λ wrong by 120 orders of magnitude (worst prediction in physics), how Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology treats Λ as evolving across aeons, and why trusting mathematics over intuition is physics' most important lesson. Einstein predicted cosmic acceleration in 1917—and then abandoned it. That cost cosmology 80 years.
