Does anybody know why QFT predicts a vacuum energy density that is
wrong by
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000?
Give or take a few zeros.

Here's why, and, better yet, here's a way to resolve this horrendous
howler.

Or you could just say ~10^100.

The arXiv is for publication of preprints of works that are yet to be - but
are going to be - published. Not as a warehouse of every piece of crank
phlegm thrown forth.

A brief scan yields the expected: 12 self-cites, a continued unwarranted
assumption that your works are relevant, and absolutely no understanding of
what is being discussed.

You don't know enough QFT to discuss it. Stop embarrassing yourself.

You would be more credible if you could handle scientific notation. A
public school education is a good foundation for extending your gasp.

Oh, wait! What was Uncle Al thinking? Public education supports
diversity and creates tolerence! To be a credible privileged
minority, physics must be off by at least
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,00,000,000,000,000,000.61534.
