I got the idea recently that he actually was onto something with this --
the cosmological constant. I vaguely remember hearing something on a radio
science program to the effect that he should not have recanted.

 I have forgotten the gist of the matter but suspect that it was to do with:
 a) dark matter
 b) the expanding universe
c) all of the above

Perhaps someone else knows the details ...

Anyway, thanks for this splendidly off-topic contribution ;-)
