To meet the cosmological constant problem, we studied the Zeldovich’s proposed solution and evaluated here why he estimated the theoretical value of this constant larger by over 120 orders of magnitude in Planck mass; by theoretically deriving his empirically proposed equation thoroughly. We reported that the mathematical expression of Planck unit is numerically imbalanced thus its numerically incorrect expression, therefore, in this unit he predicted its extreme value and cosmological constant problem persisted there. A modification in this unit has been suggested, subsequently it modified the Zeldovich’s proposed expression and this modified expression estimated the precise value of this cosmological constant later. These findings imply that if the mathematical expression of Planck unit was correct he would have estimated the precise value of this constant alone.
