What is the contribution of the Higgs Field, as a per cent, to the vacuum energy? Isn't the Higgs field, a defacto introduction to an ether theory? Isn't the vacuum energy another name for the Cosmological Constant? TIA, AG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
