A New Solution of The Cosmological Constant Problems
  We extend the usual gravitational action principle by promoting the bare
cosmological constant (CC) from a parameter to a field which can take many
possible values. Variation leads to a new integral constraint equation which
determines the classical value of the effective CC that dominates the wave
function of the universe. In a realistic cosmological model, the expected value
of the effective CC, is calculated from measurable quantities to be O(t_U), as
observed, where t_U is the present age of the universe in Planck units,. Any
application of our model produces a falsifiable prediction for $\Lambda $ in
terms of other measurable quantities. This leads to a specific falsifiable
prediction for the observed spatial curvature parameter of Omega_k0=-0.0055.
Our testable proposal requires no fine tunings or extra dark-energy fields but
does suggest a new view of time and cosmological evolution.
