Description “Einstein's presentation of previous efforts to save the infinity of the universe in spite of its gravitational paradox is shown to be highly incomplete. The history of those efforts, centered on publications by Bentley, Halley, Cheseaux, Olbers, Zöllner, Seeliger, and Lord Kelvin, shows that they were misled by the modern dogma that the universe has to be infinite.”
