Einstein developed the cosmological constant to counteract the force of gravity and maintain a static universe in his theory of general relativity. His motivation was to explain why the universe appeared to be static and not collapsing under the influence of gravity.

How fast is the universe?

The Universe is not expanding. The Universe is in equilibrium. The idea that the Universe is expanding results from a mis-interpretation of Hubble's redshift measures and the Biblical Creation Story. Einstein observed that the universe was not contracting under gravity and added a cosmological constant to "account" for the lack of contraction. This cosmological constant is an anti-gravity feature that adds expansion. mathematicians claimed that Einstein's Equations only allowed for expansion or contraction. When the redshift was discovered the deal was sealed. Hubble did not interpret the redshift as an expansion, he called it "an hither to unknown principle of nature". Hubble was correct and the current view of expansion is wrong. There is a herd mentality in physics like in Stock Market Bubbles. The Big Bang is a Bubble, there is no expansion.

Did Einstein ever credited the six million Jews from the holocost with the creation of the bomb?

You are obviously trying to make some point or other. What is it?


Did Einstein develop the atomic bomb?

No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.


What did Einstein's groundbreaking studies in physics lead to the development of?

Einstein was a theoretical physicist. He did thought experiments. Einstein's theories are said to have lead to the Atomic bomb but others had a more direct impact on its creation. Einstein was more famous popularly.


What does the atomic bomb have to do with Albert Einstein?

He played a role in its creation by sending a letter to convince president Roosevelt to start work on a nuclear weapon, and many of his theories went into the making of it. Einstein himself was a pacifist and regretted for the rest of his life that he had influenced the creation of nuclear weapons.
