Choose an evolution of the universe you prefer, and you can find a CC that does that for you. AG *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* I think I get it. You're learned about physics and cosmology and I'm a know-nothing schmuck who asks stupid questions. *OR*, maybe you're a *pretentious fool* who thinks he knows much more than he really knows? If you're so learned about these arcane subjects, then maybe you can shed some light on my question, *assuming you in fact understand it*. Firstly, gravity isn't causing the universe to expand. At most, it's causing the rate of expansion to decrease, at least that was the understanding until around 1990. So, if Einstein determined a value of the CC which caused the expansion to cease, resulting in a steady state universe, why would anyone associate that value of the CC as having anything to do with ANTI-GRAVITY? Remember, *GRAVITY, WHICH IS ATTRACTIVE, CANNOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE EXPANSION, SO ANY CC WHICH CEASES THE EXPANSION, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GRAVITY!
