• TITLE: Resolving the Vacuum Catastrophe: A Generalized Holographic Approach

  AUTHORS: Nassim Haramein, Amira Val Baker

  KEYWORDS: Cosmological Constant, Critical Density, Dark Matter, Holographic Mass Solution, Vacuum Energy

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol.5 No.2, March 13, 2019

  ABSTRACT: We address the ~122 orders of magnitude discrepancy between the vacuum energy density at the cosmological scale and the vacuum density predicted by quantum field theory. This disagreement is known as the cosmological constant problem or the “vacuum catastrophe”. Utilizing a generalized holographic model, we consider the total mass-energy density in the geometry of a spherical shell universe (as a first order approximation) and find an exact solution for the currently observed critical density of the universe. We discuss the validity of such an approach and consider its implications to cosmogenesis and universal evolution.
