Abstract

Quantum Field Theory has seemingly been of late anything but unraveling. Undeniably, for many different reasons there is a rampant discomfort with the Standard Model as a complementing extension of QFT. Prior to the recent supersymmetry upset, the “vacuum catastrophe” or “cosmological constant problem” shook the very foundations of QFT. Effectively the enormous numeric disparity between its predicted value of the vacuum energy density, and the measured value from a Relativistic approach has been qualified by some as the biggest predictive failure of any Theory. QFT has been left searching for its soul now for almost two decades. Under the umbrella of Quanto-Geometric Theory, we offer a different approach to the problem which successfully calculates a sensible and consistent value of the vacuum energy density from first axiomatic principles, casting a close match with the cosmological quantity, thereby bridging the grueling gap between the quantum vacuum and the relativistic vacuum.
