Does General Relativity predicts that in the early universe vacuum energy was converted into matter? How does it relates to the Inflation Theory by Allan Guth?
I'm asking this because I remember reading in a book on GR that there are ways of calculating the total amount of energy in the universe by adding the matter contribution, etc... including vacuum energy. In fact, I remember reading about this in several books.
But today there's less vacuum out there than there was before, correct? So what happened to the associated vacuum energy?
