An Einstein equation without any cosmological constant is given by S(X,Y)-[1/2]rg(X,Y) = KT(X,Y) = G(X,Y), [for all]X,Y[member of]TM, (7) where r is the scalar curvature at any point of the space time and K is the gravitational constant [6].
These measurements of the cosmic microwave background-a faintly glowing relic of the hot, dense, young universe-put limits on proposed alternatives to the standard model of cosmology and provide further support for the standard cosmological model, confirming that dark matter and dark energy make up 95 percent of everything in existence, while ordinary matter makes up just 5 percent.
The research differed from previous studies on supernovas, which are the explosive deaths of massive stars, and provided the "strongest evidence yet that dark energy is the cosmological constant," he said, similar to the energy of empty space.
