In fact, adding the cosmological constant to Einstein's equations does not lead to a static universe at equilibrium because the equilibrium is unstable: if the universe expands slightly, then the expansion releases vacuum energy, which causes yet more expansion.
Čak štoviše, dodatak kozmološke konstante Einsteinovim jednadžbama ne vodi k ravnotežnom svemiru, jer je ta ravnoteža nestabilna: ako se svemir malo širi, širenje oslobađa energiju, koja uzrokuje dodatno širenje.
