He invented Lambda, Λ, the cosmological constant, but he couldn't have known it was 1.11 * 10^−52 / Meters^2 . This number indicates that the space between galaxies is growing at an EXPONENTIAL rate, gravity is dying off; -- i.e. the "Heat Death" predicted by Lord Kelvin, 1852, is the most likley outcome. Everything decays, even gravity; hence the arrow of time.
