Why is vacuum energy 10^100 times larger than the cosmological constant?

[Quarlep]

I was reading a book about cosmolgy.And there wrotes vacuum energy must be higher than cosmological constant 10¹⁰⁰ times to satisfy (It may just the opposite ) observations. Is that true ?

Really nice answer! Somehow I had missed seeing that short, clear essay by Baez. One of the most cogent treatments of the CC topic I can think of.

Baez

He's a great communicator, isn't he?

thanks I understand the basic idea

That's the usual experimental result one gets from reading Baez:)
@Bandersnatch, thanks for the link, nice one.
