Layzer of course didn't know about the holographic principle, which

Stenger has noted that if you assume the degrees of freedom for the
vacuum are proportional to this area (in Planck units) you get the
right order of magnitude for the energy density of the cosmological
constant.
Wow! That's quite something. Did Vic ever write this up somewhere?

It's in section 12.2 of his 2011 book "The Fallacy of Fine Tuning".
I appreciate that book, and basically everything Vic Stenger wrote on
physics.
I am less enthusiast when he talk on God, despite I still agree with
everything he says.
I don't believe in the God he is criticizing, nor on the need to
advertise it in that way.
