The Nature of Vacuum Energy
Why is the vacuum energy so much smaller than quantum field theory predicts? What is the true nature of "empty" space?
Timothian Model's Short Answer...
Anywhere atoms don't exist, the medium's subatomic constintuents do. The medium constantly shifts, flows, oscillates, stratifies, aggregates, and disaggregates, constituting the baseline energy of the medium.

Redefines vacuum as the chunk medium at equilibrium:
No quantum fluctuations or zero-point energy required.
Vacuum energy reflects the baseline state of the chunk medium.
Resolves the cosmological constant problem by eliminating the need for enormous vacuum energy.
