Even though his first equations showed that in fact the cosmos was moving apart from some source, he thought that was a mistake. So he added a fudge factor what he called the cosmological constant, a way of balancing the force of gravity. Later, he was to call the cosmological constant the biggest mistake of his life. Astronomers started to prove, almost before the ink dried on his equations, that galaxies were flying apart and the cosmos was in fact expanding from some point in space. But now there's evidence about that expansion rate one that shows that Einstein may have been right after all. Winner of the 2000 AAAS-Whitaker Science Award for excellence in radio journalism.
