of evil
of which the modern age is particularly aware: the loneliness

of which modern man has become aware through the writings

of psychoanalysis; and the deliberate and large -

[25] Lemaitre's famous differential equation for cosmic expansion is: R [2] = C / R + 1 / 3AR [2]- k where R is the
scale factor for cosmic expansion which is proportional to the radius
of the
universe when that radius has meaning; C > 0 and proportional to the average present - day density
of non-relativistic matter in the
universe; cosmological constant, - C [0] < A < C [0], which serves to create a cosmic repulsion that keeps galaxies from being drawn together by gravity when it is positive and adds to the attractive force
of gravity when it is negative; and spatial curvature, k = -1,0, +1.
