The Einstein letter

Raphael-NATURE is everything. There is mass, energy, atoms, molecules, life, thought, people, societies, galaxies and perhaps even multiple universes (pure speculation). But there is nothing outside nature, including spiritual visions and other phenomena we don't yet understand. If they exist, they are part of nature.

Did not Einstein perfer Spinoza's God. One who is outside nature. Outside to influence nature and the tide of times.
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GTR) had predicted that the universe was either expanding or contracting. Einstein found the notion of a beginning to the universe so distasteful that he introduced a “fudge factor” to his field equation to keep a Steady State universe, an eternal equilibrium.[1] Einstein introduced a term called the cosmological constant. The cosmological constant was a force so weak, which factored into the geometric curvature of space, that it would make no difference on an eternal universe.

In the 1920’s Edwin Hubble was studying the Andromeda nebula. At least since the time of Kant scientists wondered what these distant enormous objects were (galaxies). Kant conjectured that they might be island universes in their own right.[2] With further study, Hubble noticed that these galaxies had a red shift; the galaxies were appearing redder than they should have and Hubble postulated that these galaxies were moving away from one another. What was being observed was the same thing that the Doppler effect has on sound. The trajectory of an object has an effect on the wavelength of the sound, or in this case, light.

As a result of Hubble’s discovery and Einstein’s own equations the Russian mathematician Alexander Friedman and the Belgian priest and physicist Georges Édouard Lemaître suggested that the universe had a finite past and was not static and eternal. There was now a problem with the cosmological constant; it cannot simply be deleted from Einstein’s equations. The cosmological constant could balance the equation from describing the geometric curvature (left hand side of the equation) to describing the energy momentum (right hand side of the equation). If this expansion is extrapolated the equations of motion then (and even now) can only go but so far—until the universe comes to a singularity. With reluctance Einstein conceded the steady state model in the late 1920’s, though many scientists would not accept the implications of an expanding universe (its finitude). One critic, Fred Hoyle, dubbed such an event the “Big Bang” in mockery and the name stuck.(Max Andrew)
The universe was not a exploding outward. It is bubble in the black of the void.
Problems with the Big Bang Theory, Flatness, Horizon, and Monopole. The Inflation theory proposes a period of extremely rapid(exponential) expansion of the universe. During which time the energy density of the universe was dominated by the "Cosmological Constant" type of vacuum energy. that later decayed to produce matter and radiation that fill your universe today. Inflation was rapid, a factor of 10^26 in a fraction of a second.

Raphael- When does Einsteins' math end? The use of his words to say there is not a Universe Creator. The thought that one possiblity out of many possiblities, could be that the universe was created by design and not by throwing of dice.
