Well.. not really directly &quot;derivable.&quot; To be more specific, the &quot;problem&quot; is: when using the the &quot;Standard Model of particle physics&quot; (which is confirmed time and again for anything we do with the particles, and which, of course, we anyway know that is still inconsistent with the General Relativity model) to calculate the &quot;renormalized value of the zero-point vacuum energy density&quot; as the contribution to the cosmological constant, the number is calculated that, to our present understanding of the factors involved, can&#x27;t match our…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1205.3365/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
