Is the oft-reviled Einstein (by himself) "Cosmological Constant" as a force 
overcoming gravity now gaining new support?  What could be the ultimate 
consequenses... a post-luminal speed run-away inflationary period similar to that 
of the first fraction of a second after the big bang?  Could we all be torn apart 
in an instant?  Also what do you scientists mean by the "observable universe?"  
Is there one beyond the horizon, or are you referring to dark matter?

Thank you!  michaelvenables@home.com
