Einstein refers to this force as “the cosmological constant”. This constant corrected Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the movement of the universe. Originally Einstein believed that the universe was static even though his mathematical theories suggested otherwise. It was not until another mathematician Friedmann, solved Einsteins’s equation of general relativity using the cosmological constant. Einstein referred to this mistake as being the “biggest blunder” of his life.
As a human how would I recognize God even if he came and revealed himself to me. For all I know the other worldly being could be Satan. (He is described in the bible as being a beautiful angel) If I could not even recognize God in his presence what hope do I have of finding any direction in life.
