The passage around this formula
…universe with distant Type Ia supernovae found that the expansion is accelerating, and the Supernova Cosmology Project’s analysis of forty-two high-redshift supernovae reported, for a flat universe, a matter density of = 0.28 with combined statistical and systematic uncertainties of a few hundredths, and stated that the data indicated a nonzero, positive cosmological constant at 99 percent confidence [ 3 ] . That result places the implied vacuum energy density at roughly 0.7 — a…
