Hi EC, Dirac was an engineer too as I remember.

Here is a trip for you: Einstein when he was doing his work on general relativity needed a constant to make his equations work. His theory said he needed this (I have no idea what that means-lol). Anyway, he could not find one, so he made one up.

Later he said this was his biggest mistake.

Now along comes new research on vacuum's. I guess the big work is only about 20 years old. Anyway inherent vacuum energy looks to be that constant Einstein's theory said existed and was needed. So Einstein was right after all-lol. So he knew it, but just could not identify it. Smart, smart, smart guy.

But this vacuum energy is a problem in that the larger it gets the more it pulls the universe apart.

We do not need to worry though, it will take awhile-lol.
