Hi, can you help mi understand Friedman equation with cosmological constant:
\begin{equation}
(\frac{\dot a}{a})^{2} - \frac{8\pi G \rho}{3}=-\frac{k}{a^2}+\frac{\Lambda}{3}
\end{equation}
I don't get it: Einstein wanted to get flat (##k=0##) and static (##(\frac{\dot a}{a})^{2}=0##) model with ##\rho>0## so he put ##\Lambda## into his equation of field (Friedman equation should look like above I think). He put ##\Lambda## greater then 0 so how it is possible that it compensates positive curvature caused by ##\rho##?
