Expanding Universe Paper
Adopts an expanding cosmological model and abandons the need for his earlier static-universe construction.
Albert Einstein · Year
1931
Albert Einstein records dated 1931, drawn directly from the World History Database source collection.
Expanding-Universe Cosmology Paper
Publishes a non-static cosmological model within general relativity, accepting cosmic expansion and dispensing with the static balance that motivated his cosmological constant.
Oxford Rhodes Lectures
Gives three Rhodes Memorial Lectures on relativity, cosmology and his latest work in theoretical physics.
Prix Jules Janssen
Receives the Prix Jules Janssen for distinguished work in astronomy and astrophysics.
Static Universe Abandoned
Einstein abandons the need for a static cosmological model after cosmic expansion becomes established, leaving the cosmological constant without its original motivation.
Static Universe Model Abandoned
Abandons his earlier static cosmological model as expanding-universe observations and relativistic cosmology make a dynamical universe the more credible interpretation.
Mount Wilson Hubble Discussion
Visits Mount Wilson and discusses observational cosmology, confronting evidence that distant galaxies exhibit the redshift-distance relation associated with cosmic expansion.
Oxford Honorary Doctorate
Receives an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of Oxford.
