ALBERT EINSTEIN'S "BIGGEST BLUNDER"

Albert was and is still the greatest scientist to ever walk the face of the earth. As a matter of fact, Einstein’s biggest blunder was thinking he made a blunder

Albert Einstein was born in the year 1879 and left a legacy in the year 1955. He was a renowed German scientist who revolutionized the overall understanding of space, time and gravity. He influenced the development of nuclear physics, cosmology and quantum mechanics. Einstein is best known for his theory of general relativity [e=mc2 ] which he published in 1915.

He received the 1921 Nobel prize in physics and the 1925 Copely Medal. He was named Times’s Person of the Century and was ranked the greatest physicist of all time.Einstein's work changed our understanding of the universe. He showed that time and space are not fixed, but depend on the observer, with his Theory of Special Relativity.

He also explained gravity as the curvature of spacetime, which transformed our understanding of the cosmos. Einstein's work on light and electrons led to the development of quantum mechanics.

He also explained the random movement of tiny particles, known as Brownian Motion. His famous equation E=mc² showed that mass and energy are equal, changing our understanding of the universe.

In 1917, Albert Einstein inserted a term known as the cosmological constant into his popular theory of general relativity, this was done in order to preserve the idea of a stationary universe which was popular and generally accepted by physicists at the time. When future knowledge showed that the universe was expanding, Einstein removed the constant and labelled it the ‘biggest blunder’ he ever made.

New studies show that the cosmological constant Einstein forfeited is the only possible explanation for dark energy. Marioni said “Our data points towards a cosmological constant because the value of lambada we measure is close to minus one, which is the value predicted if dark energy is the cosmological constant”. This statement accepted the validity of the cosmological constant.

It was a small blunder to introduce an extraneous unnecessary term into his equations, but his greatest blunder was neglecting his own brain child.
