dc.description.abstract
The idea of quantum mechanical vacuum energy contributing to the cosmological vacuum energy density is not new. However, despite the persisting cosmological constant problem, few investigations have focused on this subject. We explore the possibility that the quantum vacuum energy density contributes to the (local) gravitational energy density in the framework of a scale-dependent cosmological constant (Formula presented.) and Newton’s constant G. This hypothesis has several important consequences, ranging from quantum scale-dependence to the hypothetical prospect of novel experimental insight concerning the quantum origin of cosmological energy density.
