Abstract: We prove that any 4-dimensional geodesically complete spacetime with a timelike Killing field satisfying the vacuum Einstein field equation $Ric(g_M)=lambda{g}_M$ with nonnegative cosmological constant $lambdageq0$ is flat. When dim $geq5$, if the spacetime is assumed to be static additionally, we prove that its universal cover splits isometrically as a product of a Ricci flat Riemannian manifold and a real line.
