Believe me - regarding maths in relativity you only see the tip of the iceberg in this vid. He showed the main result of the Einstein equations for an isotropic and honogeneous universe. He skipped how to derive the basic form of the metric by evaluating the cosmological principal, he skipped to derive the energy momentum tensor of a radiation dominated universe and he skipped evaluating the field equations for the Robertson Walker metric - all this taken together yields the equations you've just seen. Great Video though and straight to the point.

I would ask him to critique Bell's 1964 paper. What I think would happen is that Einstein would say that since clocks are affected by gravity, the twin particles would not age in phase locked synchrony, so that the presumptive hidden variable would not vanish, but would result in a residual non-zero "beat frequency." And then, Einstein would dub that "spooky timekeeping at a distance."

Albert Einstein new about "Mass-SPACE relation", however he applied "Static" = "Infinite sponge" = "Non-Space-Expandable Universe" (just added to Newton "Sponge Structural-Geometrical Deformation Ability") (logic - if space is infinite= can't further to expand) into General Relativity model and than Edington "proved it" (he "measured" light bend - 0,00000000000000000000000000000001% of a single radius degree, as a "Flag Evidence".. hmm "how u can measure if its a wave" so precisely anyway, by tracking single photons?) in 1925 or 1919? ...but then Mr Edwin Hubble in 1929 completely demolished Einstein's "Static Universe" by discovering that "Universe is expanding" (they just didn't realise that it was "Space Expansion"), but false statements never been dismissed. They were "updated" - new solutions/transformations added to the equations, but "main conclusion" that "mass not curves, but expands space=distance effectively", never been noticed ("Cosmological Constant" MIA) and this is the reason why Invisible Ghosts of Dark Energies" overtaken XX century physics.

If all you have to fall back on is this type of silly footstomping then you don't understand well enough to attempt an explanation to anyone and you should bow out of a discussion if you cannot participate in it accordingly.

***** - While old microphones weren't very sensitive to low frequencies (leading to a kind of unbalanced "tinny" tone), they couldn't really _shift_ the frequency. Doing that requires either a lot of complex spectral processing or (in 99% of cases) playing the sound back at a different speed (play it faster and the pitch goes up, play it slower and it goes down). Between the 1920s and 1950s it was common to shoot film at 18 fps or less (sometimes the speed even varied _during_ the clip, because the camera was cranked by hand - though that was mostly in the silent era), and there were no embedded timecodes or sync signals (or, in many cases, even a label on the reel saying what speed it had been recorded at). When those films get played back at the "modern" standard of 24 fps (or sometimes even directly at 30 fps for TV, if the telecine operator is _really_ incompetent), the result is that everyone moves very fast and talks with a high-pitched voice. Even a small difference (ex., assuming the film was shot at 18 fps when in fact it was shot at 16 fps) can lead to a noticeable shift in audio pitch.

here's a tiny little observation in defense of einstein's time in putting this all together: what he was trying to justify in the equation of space time and physical matter was that a(t) would change at an equal rate to the velocity of mass within it, and i could see how he might mistake that for "if one side is static, then the velocity would also remain zero" and he went with that as a means to study energy=mass variants and light speed variants. basically he wanted to say v=0 so he could make the big picture simpler for himself. we know now that its not that simple, but back then he was doing most of this by himself on a chalk board and a set of typewriters. we can't really blame him for it.

The irony is that Riemann conjectured the form of the universe in his famous doctorate work in front of Gauss, and even he invented the mathematics for the so call Riemann Geometry 70 years before Einstein used it , but Einstein ended winning the glory and Riemann died at the early age of 39...

I try to combine the cosmological constant and the schrodinger solution on the planck scale. I used planck units. At the end I went back to SI units to compare with the measured vacuum energy density (0.63 10^-9 J/m^3.) Combine: 1) Einstein, cosmological constant 2) Schrödinger solution 3) Planck units Result: - vacuum catastrophe solved? 1)Einstein, cosmological constant Λ = (8π 𝐺 ƐΛ)/(𝑐^4) Planck units: G=1 c=1 Λ (6.1871424 10^34)^-2 = (8π ƐΛ [planckEnergy/planckVolume] 1.1056 10^-52 (6.1871424 10^34)^-2 = 8π ƐΛ 0.001149 10^-120 = ƐΛ 0.1149 10^-122/ ƐΛ = 1 2)Schrödinger solution, n=1 (ℎbar^2 𝑛^2 𝜋^2) / (2𝑚𝐿^2) = E Planck units hbar=1 n=1 m= mplanck =1 L= Lplanck=1 0.5 𝜋^2= E 1= E/0.5 𝜋^2 3)Einstein, Cosmological Constant = Schrödinger solution 0.1149 10^-122/ ƐΛ = 1 = E/0.5 𝜋^2 0.1149 10^-122 0.5 𝜋^2= ƐΛ Eplanck Eplanck =1 0.1149 10^-122 0.5 𝜋^2= ƐΛ 0.567 10^-122 = ƐΛ [planckEnergy/planckVolume] 0.567 10^-122 1.9561 10^9 /(1.61625502 10^-35)^3= ƐΛ [J/m^3] ƐΛ = 2.627 10^-9 [J/m^3] Measured: 0.63 10^-9 [J/m^3] I am looking forward to your response.

I was thinking that what may be happening is that empty space may have a reverse curvature, and act as anti-gravity between galaxies. If this was the case though, they really shouldn't go faster than the speed of light apart from each other though.
