The "biggest blunder" thing is apocryphal; Einstein never said it. 
What's more, the cosmological constant is _ extremely mainstream;
it's the Lambda in " Lambda, Cold Dark Matter ".

  Einstein's Cosmological Constant ( 1.11 * 10^−52 / Meters^2 ) tells us 
  that outer space is growing EXPONENTIALLY, gravity is dying off;
  -- i.e. the "Heat Death" predicted by Lord Kelvin, 1852,
     is the most likley outcome.

The simple truth: Quantum behavior isn't fully measured/understood.

" The attempt to conceive the quantum-theoretical description as 
  the complete description of the individual systems leads to 
  unnatural theoretical interpretations, which become 
  immediately unnecessary if one accepts the interpretation 
  that the description refers to ensembles of systems 
  and not to individual systems. "
—-  Einstein in "Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist", 1957.

" Whether you can observe a thing or not 
  depends on the theory which you use. 

  It is the theory which decides what can be observed. " 
—-  Einstein to Werner Heisenberg, 
   objecting to placing observables at the heart of the new quantum mechanics, 
   during Heisenberg's 1926 lecture at Berlin; related by Heisenberg in 1968,
   quoted by Abdus Salam, Unification of Fundamental Forces,
   Cambridge University Press (1990) ISBN 0521371406, pp 98-101

Who has replaced him, in your mind, Steven Spielberg ?
