Here is a new paper by Niel Turok and Paul J Steinhardt.
http://uk.arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/0403/0403020.pdf
The initial reading makes one ask a simple question, if I was to be at a far away location, say at the QSO of farthest detected Galaxy, and I looked back to the location of Milkyway, would I detect a Positive Vacuum Energy a hundred orders of magnitude smaller than the vacuum energy needed to drive inflation?
Or would the fact I am looking at the Milkyway from across the Universe yeild different positive vacuum energy signature's.
I guess a simpler question is this, are local positive vacuum energies present in Local Space, or are they at far away locations?
