The Cosmological Constant is Probably Zero, and a Proof is Possibly Right
arXiv:0709.3314 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2007.12.019
Abstract
Hawking proposed that the cosmological constant is probably zero in quantum cosmology. Duff claimed that Hawking's proof is invalidated. Using the right configuration for the wave function of the universe, we provide a complete proof.
