  The cosmological constant is necessary to be retained in Einstein’s field equations with value depending on the mass of the source. An overview of the spring theory in astrophysics and cosmology is included in this paper. In short range force, the two interacting particles are point-like vertices connected by a bosonic spring. We also suspect that electron may contain negative sterile neutrino. The self energy of a point charge is not infinite so that renormalisation is not necessary.

Introduction</title><p>Astrophysical standard model has confirmed to accept the cosmological constant in relating to dark energy―undetectable particles same as dark matter. The matter distribution inside the universe is roughly dark fluid 95 percent and normal matter 5 percent. Different notions such as dark energy, dark matter, aether, pure space and others are of the same entity. They are different manifestations of the same dark fluid aether, just like the extension and compression of a spring [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72434-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72434-ref2">2</xref>] . The famous Michelson-Morley experiments provide no proofs to decline the existence of aether; moreover, the basic assumptions of these experiments are wrong [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72434-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72434-ref4">4</xref>] . The theory in this paper is in fact a three dimensional treatment of the de-Sitter Schwarzschild solution. Simply speaking, a spring term is added into Newton’s gravitation. With such a model, we can derive easily the Hubble’s law, explain the missing mass in the rotation curve of galaxies, and depict the short range interaction in which the two point-like vertices are connected by a bosonic spring. Spring theory is based on two resources; the theoretical Yang’s pure space and the results of the Pound-Rebka experiments on the photonic frequency changes along a vertical path.</p><sec id="s1_1"><title>1.1.

In a book written by Sapogin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72434-ref47">47</xref>] , it was mentioned that the classical theory of electromagnetism was fundamentally wrong. The electric field at the centre is zero because E is a vector. Feyman pointed out that Coulomb’s inverse square law fails at very short distance (see Feyman Lectures on Physics volume 2 chapter 5.8). Hence, renormalisation is not necessary. Perhaps short range Maxwell’s equations can be furtherly elaborated towards a new branch of electromagnetism [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72434-ref48">48</xref>] .</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Tsang, L.M.
