Einstein's Cosmic Model of 1931 Revisited

People have built models of the universe for centuries with technological advancements helping them to improve and develop their models through scientific investigation. Last week, researchers said that they have evidence of 'cosmic inflation' which is based on the idea that the universe grew rapidly as soon as the Big Bang took place and left ripples in patterns of light, visible in the very far reaches of the universe.

In their paper "Einstein's cosmic model of 1931 revisited: an analysis and translation of a forgotten model of the universe" published in Springer's EPJ H in February 2014, O'Raifeartaigh and McCann provide the first English translation and an analysis of Einstein's paper published in 1931, which features a forgotten model of the universe, while refuting his own earlier static model of 1917.
