   It's a pushing out that it does. It's a pressure, an outward pressure, that the gravitational force is pushing against. ♪ ♪ Overall, the universe is accelerating in its expansion because of this dark energy effect. ♪ ♪ NARRATOR: Today, scientists estimate it is overwhelmingly the most prevalent form of energy in the universe. RHODES: We thought we knew the constituents of the universe and how it was evolving over time. Al of a sudden, we found out that, no, we didn't know, because the biggest component of the universe wasn't dark matter, it was dark energy. NARRATOR: So, what exactly is dark e…

   >> The beauty of the math. >> Yeah. >> And so that was my lesson that I, you know, I ain't going there. >> But it goes the other way too, right? Because you go back to say George Lmetro. >> So he's a priest, a Belgian priest. >> Yeah. He's studying Einstein's mathematics, finds that the equations, the math says that the universe should be expanding or contracting. He goes to Einstein and Einstein says, "Your calculations are correct, but your physics is abominable. This math is not relevant to the world. It's like the Platonic solids. You're wasting your tim…

   Actually, Schrödinger did that,   right? Schrödinger had a modified idea. Again,  Schrödinger had an idea of modified gravity.   And he said, “no, no, no, no. Einstein does  these non-symmetric metrics. But actually,   a deeper structural concept than the  metric is the connection.” And there   are connections that come from a metric, and  they're more general connections, right? So,   that was Schrödinger's idea. Actually, a wonderful  book by Schrödinger, Space-Time Structure.   A very beautiful, thin book o…

   and that technically can sort of accommodate dark energy, but it's preposterous. So assume that the experimental result fell apart. I'd be in the same place I was in the 80s. This is not going to hold. This is completely artificial. Einstein was correct. And if he had the courage of his convictions, I think what he would have done is to recognize that the entire Einstein field equations cannot live on in this fashion where you've got one term that's perfect and two terms that are unggainainely to say the least and preposterous to say more. You know, we were talking in particular about a piece …

   But he wasn't in it for the math, he was in it for the physics. So he learned as much math as he needed. And when Minkowski says, "I have some new math that unifies space and time based on Einstein's theories," Einstein himself was like, "Yeah, I don't need that. That's like extra mathematical nonsense." He soon changed his mind 'cause it turns out that that move from space and time being separate to being combined is super useful going forward, including, 10 years later he would invent his general theory of relativity that include gravity into the spacetime story. When Einstein put together w…

   Brian: And so as I recall, I think in the late 30s,   Einstein even wrote a paper where he tried to  specifically model a bunch of masses that would be   in some spherical configuration. They were moving,  and he tried to model them collapsing inward. Kip: Well, he moved   them in slowly. He didn't have the wherewithal, he  hadn't even asked the question about a dynamical   collapse. He said, let me shrink it smaller  and smaller. And once it got down to something   a little bit larger than this Schwarzschild  radius, h…

   In fact, the reason science rejected Einstein for so long was because they could not fathom his idea being correct, and they required an astronomer to go into a jungle almost a decade later to prove that Einstein was not crazy. It turns out he was correct. See, the problem with science is they believe they will build upon the foundations of their dogma incrementally and get to a complex truth because they can not fathom they are wrong. The discovery of relativity actually resulted from Einstein rejecting Occam’s Razor and asking what if some deeper generalizations were true, which was not requ…

   I mean, Einstein in his later   years, he fanatically looked for the inclusion  of Maxwell theory into the geometric framework   of general relativity. And of course, we  had Kaluza-Klein, all these nice things,   all very nice, but ultimately it doesn't work.  So far, we think. Einstein didn't find it. So,   once Einstein, let's take Einstein also as  a counterexample in a sense, once he started   thinking in this formal way and had an idea we  could include this here, that didn't work so much   anymore. I th…

    He wrote down the thermodynamic givens of the ultraviolet catastrophe, and he looked at the thermodynamic givens. He goes, "How do these things all fit together?" And what happens in his miracle year? One of his four papers is called the photoelectric effect. Now, people like to believe that everything should be simple, that you could explain it to a third grader. That's like Occam's razor. And I always tell people when they say to me, "There's no way this could be right, Jack." I say, "Well, tell me, what is Occam's razor parsimonious about the photoelectric effect? That it only works with UV…
