In cosmological terms, that was about 10 minutes ago.

And I would link that to something called the cosmological constant.

Or is it a kind of serendipity that we cannot explain, like the cosmological constant?

Cosmological studies at SAAO have continued primarily by measuring the line of sight velocities of galaxies.

If I were in this condition at any point before a few cosmological instants ago, I would be as isolated as a hermit.

Since current cosmological theory predicts that baryonic mass must be less than 5 percent to quot close quot the universe, this finding has implications for cosmology.

These huge explosions come from all directions, suggesting a cosmological cause until this discovery it was believed that the bursts were limited to within the Milky Way galaxy.

And I think it's kind of a nice little cosmological convergence here that the Mola mola its common name is sunfish that its favorite food is the moon jelly.

OXFORD It was recently discovered that the universe s expansion is accelerating, not slowing, as was previously thought. Light from distant exploding stars revealed that an unknown force (dubbed dark energy ) more than outweighs gravity on cosmological scales.

The cosmological term is not something that should never have been proposed. Its introduction represented progress in understanding reality as did its abandonment in light of Hubble s discovery and its reinstatement in revised form to account for the new observations.

If you look at the math, E mc squared, if you look at the cosmological constant, where there's an anthropic ideal, where you see that life had to evolve from the numbers that describe the universe these are things that are really difficult to understand.

Unexpected by researchers, such a force had nevertheless been predicted in 1915 by a modification that Albert Einstein proposed to his own theory of gravity, the general theory of relativity. But he later dropped the modification, known as the cosmological term, calling it the biggest blunder of his life.

As a result, the cosmological term that has been reinstated to account for the new observations is not quite the one that Einstein proposed and retracted. It is larger, for it now has to explain not just why the universe isn t collapsing, but why its expansion is accelerating.

The story of whyEinstein proposed the cosmological term, whyhe dropped it, and whycosmologists today have reintroduced it illustrates this process. Einstein sought to avoid the implication of unmodified general relativity that the universe cannot be static that it can expand (slowing down, against its own gravity), collapse, or be instantaneously at rest, but that it cannot hang unsupported.
