You know how the lambda constant just grew exponentially in the first second of the universe? That was just a temporary thing right?

The Lambda Constant, also known as the cosmological constant, is a term in Einstein's theory of general relativity that represents the energy density of the vacuum of space. In the context of the Big Bang Theory, it is used to explain the observed acceleration of the universe's expansion.
The Lambda Constant is measured through various cosmological observations, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the distribution of galaxies. The current accepted value of the Lambda Constant is approximately 0.7, indicating that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
The inflationary period refers to the rapid expansion of the universe in its early stages. The Lambda Constant is thought to have played a significant role in this expansion, driving the universe's rapid expansion during this time.
The value of the Lambda Constant has a significant impact on the future of the universe. If its value is high enough, it will continue to drive the expansion of the universe and lead to a "big freeze" scenario where the universe continues to expand and cool, eventually leading to a cold and empty state. If its value is low enough, it may eventually lead to a "big crunch" scenario where the expansion of the universe slows and reverses, potentially collapsing back in on itself.
Yes, there is strong evidence for the existence of the Lambda Constant. Its effects can be seen through various cosmological observations, such as the accelerated expansion of the universe and the distribution of matter in the universe. Additionally, the Lambda Constant is a fundamental part of our current understanding of the universe and is used in various equations and models to accurately describe its behavior.
