An interesting end-note on this term: Principle investigators from [[Princeton]] [[University]] first published findings in 1998 apparently revealing an [[accelerating]] expansion for the universe<ref>http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_mm.html</ref>. Because this initially seemed like it might be a sort of 'anti-gravity' effect (similar in concept to Einstein's original notion), it briefly became quite popular for scientists to dub the [[phenomenon]] the 'Cosmological Constant' as well. For more information, see: [[Dark Energy]].

==Religious Beleifs==
Einstien was a deeply religious figure, but not in the conventional sense. He made it clear throughout his life that he did not beleive in a personal God, Being one who made the universe and interacted with their creations eg. answering prayers. What he beleived in was a God who is essentially the laws of physics, this made sense to him as they created the universe and made the universe what it is today. He was also a rationalist aking the point that science and religion could co-incide with each other "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind ...a legitimate conflict between science and religion cannot exist."
