A solution of the cosomlogical constant problem seems to come from a version of the scalar-tensor theory of gravity, which is characterized by a “nonminimal coupling“ in place of the standard Einstein-Hilbert action, where ɸ is the scalar field while ξ a constant. One then encounters an inherent question never fully answered: How can one single out a right conformai frame?
