Episode XIII: Einstein's Greatest Blunder

January 02, 2017

In this episode, Chris and Mike discuss the evidence behind the expanding universe and our understandings of it.  We also discuss how Einstein built a flawed component into his Theory of General Relativity in order to match the data that people understood at the time.  Although he called this addition his 'greatest blunder', parts of it are being re-incorporated now as we learn more about the universe.
