Einstein's Cosmological Constant: Push or Pull?

[QUOTE="Cycklops, post: 6013446, member: 647245"] One example is this interview with Ed Copeland... At 0:10, he says "Einstein was really quite resistant to the idea that the universe is expanding, and he worked very hard to stop it." He then refers to the universe "evolving" instead, but at 10:40 he says "for this to work, for him to stop the universe from expanding..." [MEDIA=youtube]nJsFsjSWYx0[/MEDIA] That makes some sense, which would imply then that people are just giving Einstein credit for predicting that the universe would be evolving, and some people use the term "expand" when in actuality the cosmological constant was either something that stopped contraction or something that could stop either one depending on how you define it?
