recently i heard a prominent english physicist using 70 as his value for ecc. what value do you like and where did you get it from?

thanks for your replies. I've also heard 80 as a value, but it does seem a bit arbitrary. until it is proven, i guess maybe that's all we can expect. will it be difficult to get a definitive answer?
Einstein's Cosmological Constant is a term in his famous theory of general relativity that represents the energy density of the vacuum of space. It was originally introduced by Einstein in an attempt to explain why the universe appears to be static and not expanding.
The Cosmological Constant is important because it has been used in various models of the universe and has been studied extensively in cosmology. It has also been linked to the concept of dark energy, which is thought to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe.
Einstein first introduced the Cosmological Constant in 1917 when he was trying to find a solution to his field equations that would produce a static universe. He later abandoned the concept when it was discovered that the universe was actually expanding.
The Cosmological Constant is still a topic of research and debate in the scientific community. Recent observational evidence suggests that the universe is actually expanding at an accelerating rate, which is consistent with the presence of dark energy. This has led to renewed interest in the Cosmological Constant as a possible explanation for this phenomenon.
Yes, there have been various experiments and observations that have tested the Cosmological Constant. One of the most famous examples is the observation of distant supernovae, which showed that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Other experiments, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and large-scale structure surveys, have also provided evidence for the existence of dark energy and the Cosmological Constant.
