Unexpected by researchers, such a force had nevertheless been predicted in 1915 by a modification that Albert Einstein proposed to his own theory of gravity, the general theory of relativity. But he later dropped the modification, known as the “cosmological term,” calling it the “biggest blunder” of his life.
但出乎研究者意料的是，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在1915年修正自身引力理论时就已经预判了这一力量的存在。但他随后却放弃了这一名为“宇宙项”的修正，并将其称之为一生中“最严重的失误”。
