论文摘要
许多理论物理学家之间的共识是,量子真空对宇宙总能量密度的计算贡献约为$ 10^{121} $乘以观察到的能量密度。这被认为是有史以来最糟糕的理论预测之一。但是,如下所示,这种巨大的真空能本身不能对正常物质施加力。结果,量子场理论预测的巨大真空能量密度并不促进宇宙的普通能量密度,不是引力场的来源,因此,并不有助于宇宙常数的值。
The consensus among many theoretical physicists is that the calculated contribution of the quantum vacuum to the total energy density of the universe is approximately $10^{121}$ times the observed energy density. This is thought to be one of the worst theoretical predictions of all time. However, as shown here, this immense vacuum energy cannot in and of itself exert forces on normal matter. As a result the huge vacuum energy density predicted by quantum field theory does not contribute to the ordinary energy density of the universe, is not a source for gravitational fields, and, as a result, does not contribute to the value of the cosmological constant.
