Astronomical observations have shown that the expansion of the universe is at present accelerating, in a way consistent with the presence of a positive cosmological constant. This is a major puzzle, because we do not understand: why the cosmological constant is so small; why, being so small, it is not exactly zero; and why it has precisely the value it must have to make the expansion start accelerating just at the epoch when we are observing the universe. We present a new model of cosmology, which we call the stryngbohtyk model, that solves all these problems and predicts exactly the value that the cosmological constant must have. The predicted value agrees with the observed one within the measurement error. We show that in the stryngbohtyk model, the fact the cosmological constant starts being important at the present epoch is not a coincidence at all, but a necessity implied by our origin in a planet orbiting a star that formed when the age of the universe was of the same order as the lifetime of the star.
