In Einstein's time, most Scientists agreed that space was a vacuum. But now, there are strong indications that there are dark matter particles driving the accelerated expansion of the Universe. In a vacuum, the Universe would expand at a constant rate, also referred to by Einstein as the "Cosmological Constant". But due to indications in "Red Shift" the Universe is accelerating.
