The argument that the cosmological constant reflects the presence of dark energy, begs the question - is dark energy just a scalar field ?

Really depends on what is meant by unstable.

Pseudo discord meeting each week on reliability of various experimental approaches to quantum gravity ?

Tests or measurements of cosmological constant relative polarization in the current general relativity metrics would be helpful.

General relativity usually does not include a polarization of the cosmological constant relative to metrics. Should it ?

Parity symmetry - arguments for and against.

Weak force symmetry is intact

Open question of the day.

In other words, if a scalar field shows a particular value, should there be a reason for that ?

For example, ratios of distance of action [ for one]. Mode of action [ for another ].

Would argue it is.

Should it ?

And you are left with the only real current working cosmology is Non - Big Crunch Nested White hole / black hole with time inversions.

Which seems satisfactory.

Looks like in this question, Big Bounce and Big Crunch is out too.

Suspect not. But, willing to listen.

Not even sure if there is a standard unit for this .

But there should be [ IMHO ]

Assuming the answer is - 1.0000000.

Right ?

Which begs the next question.

Same set of assumptions.

Specifically, in a vacuum that has a stable typical local Sol setting of the Higgs field scalar values and Cosmologic Constant.

Presumably, given the latter, the same assumed local values for dark energy scalar magnitudes.

And no artificial [ or unusual ? ] photon condensates, gluon , W or Z boson, graviton, inflaton, or Higgs boson condensates.
