REMARKS ON THE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT

The acceleration of the surface of last scatter (SLS) must some how reflect the energy content within it. A test particle at the SLS is assumed to experience a linear combination of two forces: one Newtonian, the other pseudo-Newtonian describable by a cosmological constant Lambda in general relativity. In the Lambda description, which is surely too unimaginative, the size of Lambda reflects only the comparable magnitudes of the Newtonian and pseudo-Newtonian forces; any claim of fine tuning due to quantum mechanics is probably illusory.
