摘要

宇宙常数是在100年前提出的，目的是使当时大多数科学家想象的静态宇宙模型成为可能。今天，它是导致我们所观察到的宇宙加速膨胀的物理本质的主要候选者。但是，就像一百年前一样，它的性质是未知的。这篇论文致力于讲述阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在1917年发明Λ的故事，他在1931年拒绝了它，并在本世纪其他科学家将其重新纳入伟大的科学。其目的是再次强调宇宙常数在现代物理学和宇宙学思想发展中的突出作用，重点是要点和出版物，其中的选择可能有一定的主观性。

Century of Λ

The cosmological constant was proposed 100 years ago in order to make the model of static Universe, imagined then by most scientists, possible. Today it is the main candidate for the physical essence causing the observed accelerated expansion of our Universe. But, as well as a hundred years ago, its nature is unknown. This paper is devoted to the story of invention of Λ by Albert Einstein in 1917, rejection of it by him in 1931 and returning of it into the great science by other scientists during the century. The aim is to once again emphasize prominent role of cosmological constant in the development of ideas of modern physics and cosmology, focusing on the main points and publications, the choice of which may have a certain part of subjectivity.

期刊介绍： The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works. The scope explicitly includes: - Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics. - Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts. - Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.
