E

• Jürgen Ehlers (1929–2008) described gravitational lensing and studied the mathematical implications of an isotropic microwave background
• Jaan Einasto (1929–) studied structure in the large-scale distribution of superclusters of galaxies
• Albert Einstein (1879–1955) invented general relativity and the cosmological constant
• George F. R. Ellis (1939–) theorized a cylindrical steady-state universe with a naked singularity as recycling mechanism
• Richard S. Ellis (1950–) used gravitational lensing and high-redshift supernovae to study the origin of galaxies, large scale structure, and dark matter
