What is the cosmological constant problem?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
The discrepancy between the observed value of the cosmological constant and the value predicted by quantum field theory.
💡 Explanation:
The cosmological constant problem arises from the fact that the observed value of the cosmological constant is many orders of magnitude smaller than the value predicted by quantum field theory. This discrepancy is one of the greatest mysteries in physics.
