The tremendous progress in astronomical observations over the past
sixty years has revealed a vast structured universe whose
fundamental parti cles are galaxies, and clusters thereof. The
interpretation of the new astronomical evidence owes much to
Einstein's insights and deductions. All our knowledge of the world
derives from the light, more generally the energy, which reaches us
from near and far. Einstein recognised the vital role of energy as
the solE basis of our information about the workings of nature; his
Special Theory of Relativity showed how our understanding of space
and time Is linked with measurements involving reflecting light
signals. He further demonstrated that matter exists in two
interchangeable forms - a mass form and an energy form - which
interact closely at all levels. His General Theory of Relativity
dealt with the nature of this interaction in the context of
gravitational fields, and led to a view of the universe which was
soon observationally confirmed. Einstein's methods and results form
the theoretical basis of modern cosmology which has spawned many
'models' of the universe; how ever, they all deal with an
Einstein-type universe and they all employ his geometric approach
to describe it."
