Graduate Is dark energy actually zero-point energy?
An interesting approach http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.html" found on the CalPhysics site suggests that the gravitational effects of the vacuum field have a phase cutoff point. This allows the large, but constant energy field while limiting the gravitational effect (otherwise we would collapse...- bcarpent1228
