Oh, what does it say?
Fatio and LeSage were rather forward-thinking, about figuring out
how something like the cosmological constant as a vanishing difference
results flat space-time while a gradient for a fall gravity of
the opposite of a Newtonian sort, explaining the mechanism and
doing away with the usual objections "gravity can't always be
working for free all the time" or "the geodesy can't both curve
itself and straighten itself out", violations of conservation law.
