Einstein’s Inconsistencies in Relativity and the Opportunistic Interpretation of Spacetime:

Einstein formulated gravity as a consequence of spacetime curvature rather than a force. However, when Hubble's observations confirmed that the universe was expanding, Einstein did not revise his theory to accommodate this discovery consistently. Instead, he withdrew the cosmological constant (Λ) from his General Relativity equations, as it was originally introduced to maintain a static universe—an assumption later proven incorrect.

Thus, the Lambda (Λ)-CDM model which is based on the FLRW metric, includes the cosmological constant (Λ), measured to be approximately (2.1 ± 0.1) × 10⁻⁵² m⁻². This can also be expressed as 10⁻³⁵ s⁻² by multiplying with c² ≈ 10¹⁷ m²⋅s⁻²), or equivalently as 10⁻¹²² ℓP⁻², where ℓP is the Planck length.

Despite this, Einstein did not refine the interpretation of time dilation or curved space to align with new empirical findings. Had he done so, it would have required incorporating aspects of Classical Mechanics' gravitational framework, which might have undermined Relativity itself. The claim that Einstein "would have known about Dark Matter and Energy" is misleading. Dark energy, now linked to the cosmological constant, was never intended to describe an expanding universe; rather, it was a mathematical fix to prevent a static universe from collapsing.

Modern relativists attempt to validate Einstein’s theory by promoting biased and misrepresented experimental results. Instead of acknowledging frequency distortion as the cause of perceived time distortion, they insist on time dilation as an intrinsic property of spacetime. Furthermore, they opportunistically conflate the classical interpretation of a curved gravitational field with spacetime curvature, despite fundamental inconsistencies in such a representation. This behavior lacks intellectual honesty.
