Warning, the following is only for people wanting to exercise their brain: Problem: finding a finite number for the cosmological constant Video summary below So the cosmological constant (CC), is a number that is currently ambiguous to quantum physicists. It is relative to the scale upon which measurements are observed (atomic, sub atomic etc). Part of the CC equation is a dynamic non-constant component, illustrated as vacuum energy (VE). Physicists agree that for a finite representation, vacuum energy must be measured across the entire universe and all of space time, (currently expanding). Assuming, space time theory holds true. My question: Assuming the formula is looking at the relevant measurements and observation is possible, can vacuum energy be confirmed as a finite number using statistics? Hypothesis testing: H0: 95% confidence that VE = VE Findings in videos attached paper H1: 95% CI that VE =/= VE Findings in videos attached paper. Z test, out of the question, too many errors would arise in assuming an entire population, given the scale of the universe. Sample size for T testing required with deviation and mean. (How the hell does one get a sufficiently sized sample of space time, to be a fair representative of its entirety?). Anyway, have a ponder :)
