Georges Lemaitre was a remarkable contributor to the advancement of cosmology in the heady years following two great revolutions in theoretical physics in the last century: general…
Interrogating the legend of Einstein's "Biggest Blunder"
Cormac O'Raifeartaigh, Simon Mitton
It is well known that, following the emergence of the first evidence for an expanding universe, Albert Einstein banished the cosmological constant term from his cosmology. Indeed,…

A new perspective on steady-state cosmology: from Einstein to Hoyle
Cormac O'Raifeartaigh, Simon Mitton
We recently reported the discovery of an unpublished manuscript by Albert Einstein in which he attempted a 'steady-state' model of the universe, i.e., a cosmic model in which the e…
