Scientific paper

A brief history of the cosmological constant in the equations of general relativity is presented. Particular attention is paid to (a) a misunderstanding by Einstein of both its function as a repulsive force and new vacuum state rather than the relativistic analog of an exponential potential cutoff he thought he had introduced and to (b) a common misunderstanding of the function of the cosmological constant.
