New physics needed to explain early expansion of the Universe
... with a big bang, scientists use a model known as lambda CDM (or ΛCDM). The symbol for Lambda Λ refers to Albert Einstein’s cosmological constant which describes the energy density of space – a characteristic that we now associate with dark energy...
