Today the theory is used to describe gravitation in physics. Einstein’s theory was influential to the development of the Big Bang theory because it created the cosmological constant. Alexander Friedmann used Einstein’s theory in order to come up with his own findings. He applied general relativity to cosmology without using the cosmological constant.

After the matter had cooled and spread out‚ these particles combined to form hydrogen and allowed the photons to freely travel without interacting with free electrons‚ forming what we know of today as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

Although the deontological nature of Kant’s theory does partially contradict the teleological constitution of Bentham’s theory‚ they both focus on the moral decision that a person chooses to make and these theories both clash with Virtue Ethics‚ in respect that Virtue Ethics looks at why and what made the person make that decision.
