Greetings,

But he still,wrongly, put a constant in his General Theory, simply because he didn't like what his science was telling him. That is, his IDEOLOGY was telling him constant, unchanging universe and his science that it was anything but.
Nonsense.
At the time Einstein developed his field equation,
it was NOT CERTAIN if Steady State was true or not.
So,
Einstein ALLOWED for it - he included a variable which could ACCOMODATE either result.
When the result was known, the variable was simply set to 0.
Einstein did NOT get it wrong.
He wisely allowed for an UNKNOWN.
