Here's something that's been bugging me for a while, but I don't have time
to look for the answer. We all know that Einstein got rid of the
cosmological constant because there was no evidence for it, but if that's
the case, why did he put it in in the first place? What was his original
concept? This is a more interesting puzzle, in my opinion, than the
potential fields in Maxwell's equations, because Maxwell wasn't the one who
took the potentials out. But Einstein must have had a good reason, at the
time, for putting the cosmological constant in.
