Description

We explore the possibility that the quantum vacuum energy density of the Casimir effect contributes to a (local) gravitational vacuum energy density.
This hypothesis has several important consequences, reaching from quantum scale-dependence to the prospect of novel experimental insight concerning the
quantum origin of the cosmological energy density associated with the accelerated expansion of the universe.
