From: Robert L. Oldershaw on 7 Jun 2010 23:51 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. http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0901/0901.3381.pdf

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.

[snip] 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. -- Uncle Al http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/ (Toxic URL!
