Excerpt: " In 1917, Einstein pulled a fudge factor out of thin air (...) two teams of astronomers startled the scientific world with evidence that this figment of Einstein's chalk board (…) has a measurable impact on the universe. (...) On June 30, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is slated to launch a spacecraft that will map the afterglow of the Big Bang in unprecedented detail. Data from the craft are expected to carry further clues about the "dark energy" Einstein's fudge factor describes.
