The researchers calculations show that if gravitational waves are found to travel at the speed of light, this would rule out alternative gravity theories, with no dark energy, in support of Einsteins Cosmological Constant.

Mystery behind Einstein's theory may soon be over

Research suggests that Einstein's Constant may still have a part to play in accounting for dark energy.
