Need a physics question answered.  I am trying to contribute to a game that I play and am making my scienc-y background text for it.

Since matter warps space into positive curvature, creating gravity, is it correct to say that the cosmological constant unwarps space negatively, and that the 'natural' state of rest for space is flat?  Or am I not even wrong?

Thanks in advance.
Paul
