When the geometry of General relativity is changed to reflect quantum mechanics, the rework predicts a universe without a big bang. But more importantly, the integration of quantum mechanics into general relativity predicts that the cosmological constant that the universe was formed under is based on the predominance of a very light and almost massless particle in order to meet the requirements of the current universe. See http://arxiv.org/pdf/1404.3093v3.pdf *(i) the smallness of #, about 10−123 in Planck units (‘thesmallness problem’),(ii) the approximate equality of vacuum and matter densityin the current epoch (‘the coincidence problem’),(iii) the apparent extreme fine-tuning required in the earlyuniverse, to have a spatially flat universe in the currentepoch (‘the flatness problem’),(iv) the true nature of dark matter, and(v) the beginning of our universe, or the so-called big bang.* Also <snip> *In summary, we have shown here that as for the QRE,the second order Friedmann equation derived from theQRE also contains two quantum correction terms. Theseterms are generic and unavoidable and follow naturallyin a quantum mechanical description of our universe. Ofthese, the first can be interpreted as cosmological constant or dark energy of the correct (observed) magnitude and a small mass of the graviton (or axion). The second quantum correction term pushes back the time singularity indefinitely, and predicts an everlasting universe.* *While inhomogeneous or anisotropic perturbations arenot expected to significantly affect these results, it wouldbe useful to redo the current study with such small perturbations to rigorously confirm that this is indeed thecase. * *Also, as noted in the introduction, we assume it tofollow general relativity, whereas the Einstein equationsmay themselves undergo quantum corrections, especiallyat early epochs, further affecting predictions. Given therobust set of starting assumptions, we expect our mainresults to continue to hold even if and when a fully satisfactory theory of quantum gravity is formulated. For the **cosmological constant problem at late times on the other hand, quantum gravity effects are practically absent and can be safely ignored. We hope to report on these and related issues elsewhere.* We know that light and matter can combine to form the almost massless polariton which could be the particle that is shaping the universe. Particle physics is hoping the supersymmetry(SUSY) will solve the cosmological constant problem and save the Standard Model of particle physics. That theory says that for every fermion the exists, there exists a boson force carrier. The CERN guys are looking for these particles at the LHC. I say that we LENR people know that light can combine with each type of fermion to produce a boson. The polariton is one example where an electron and a proton become bosons. So it is LENR that can produce SUSY in its own very special way. As proposed in the SUSY theory, these LENR based SUSY bosons form to combine the forces of nature: EMF, Weak, and Strong to give us one single LENR force that produces nuclear effects. Remember that a BEC needs bosons to form. I say that this boson is the Polariton.
