Hello, Albert

From the post "\(\tau_o\) Or No \(\tau_o\)",

\(\tau_o\ne\cfrac{c^4}{4\pi G}\)

but we can have,

\(\tau_o=-A\cfrac{c^4}{4\pi G}\)

since  \(\tau_o\)  is already unit dimensionally consistent,  \(A\)  is a dimensionless constant.  And if we are really cheeky,

\(\tau_o=-\Lambda \cfrac{c^4}{8\pi G}\)

where   \(A=\cfrac{\Lambda }{2}\).

Hello Albert Einstein!  Unfortunately,  Einstein's  \(\Lambda\)  has unit  m-2, it is likely that he moved from radial formulation to volumetric enclosure and needed  \(\Lambda\)  to scale from m-1 to m-3.
