Einstein derived the expansion of space ever since the Big Bang started and introduced the possible cosmological constant Λ. The expansion of space and the present-day expansion rate H0, the Hubble constant, has been discovered by Hubble. Perlmutter discovered the positive value of Λ, and Zeldovich showed that Λ corresponds to the energy density uDE of space. Lamb and Retherford as well as Casimir provided evidence for the idea that uDE might be based on quanta, and Riess et al. provided evidence that H0 is an idealization. In this paper, using the hypothetico-deductive method with very founded hypotheses, these two pieces of evidence are confirmed in a very founded and precise manner. Thereby, neither a fit is executed, nor a postulate, nor an unfounded hypothesis is proposed.
Hans-Otto Carmesin (Mon,) studied this question.
