Einstein added this '''cosmological constant''' to his field equation to make the universe stationary (neither expanding nor contracting) which it works when the '''cosmological constant''' has so called Einstein value

Einstein added the term with '''cosmological constant''' to his gravitational field equations in order to allow the existence of a homogeneous static solutions in the presence of matter, i.e. to make the universe stationary (neither expanding nor contracting). This works when the '''cosmological constant''' has so called Einstein value:
