WAS EINSTEIN RIGHT ABOUT DARK ENERGY AFTER ALL?
-----------------------------------------------
The good news from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is that Einstein was
right -- maybe. A strange form of energy called "dark energy" is looking a
little more like the repulsive force that Einstein theorized in an attempt
to balance the universe against its own gravity. Even if Einstein turns
out to be wrong, the universe's dark energy probably won't destroy the
universe any sooner than about 30 billion years from now, say Hubble
researchers.
