1ST SOLUTION. “The approach developed in [1] implies that, at the ultra-fast and microscopic (Planck) scales, the “true” magnitude of the cosmological constant is very large, and its magnitude is defined by the vacuum energy density predicted by quantum mechanics, which is about 120 orders of magnitude larger than the value experimentally observed at cosmological scales.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

2ND SOLUTION. “Perhaps standard effective field theory arguments are right, and vacuum fluctuations really do generate a huge cosmological constant. I show that if one does not assume homogeneity and an arrow of time at the Planck scale, a very large class of general relativistic initial data exhibit expansions, shears, and curvatures that are enormous at small scales, but quickly average to zero macroscopically.” https://lnkd.in/exjYNciU View in LinkedIn

1ST POSSIBLE SOLUTION. “Wang et al. suggested that very fast quantum fluctuations in the universe scale factor may also considerably alter the universe dynamics on very fast time scales, thus providing a potential solution to the cosmological constant problem.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

MONSTER PROBLEM. “Depending on the Planck energy cutoff and other factors, the discrepancy is as high as 120 orders of magnitude, a state of affairs described by physicists as "the largest discrepancy between theory and experiment in all of science"and "the worst theoretical prediction in the history of physics". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem#:~:text=In%20cosmology%2C%20the%20cosmological%20constant,suggested%20by%20quantum%20field%20theory View in LinkedIn

EVOLUTION OF THE COSMOS. “It is widely believed that quantum fluctuations in matter and fields play a significant role in the cosmological evolution by defining the temporal behavior of the universe scale factor a(t) resulting from the Friedmann equations.” https://lnkd.in/e2CeCPzE View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM TIME CRYSTALS. “To create such a ‘quantum time crystal’, he considered the possibility of spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry in the ground state of a many-body system, in analogy with the formation of an ordinary crystal in space.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

NON-SPONTANEOUS SPACE CRYSTALS. “However, crystalline structures in space can also be created externally without any spontaneous process.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

OUT OF THE BOX. “In 2012 Frank Wilczek speculated whether crystalline structures in space could be extended to the fourth dimension – time?” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

SPONTANEOUS SPACE CRYSTALS. “Spontaneous breaking of continuous space translation symmetry into discrete space translation symmetry results in the formation of ordinary space crystals.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
