“…It neatly allows for an investigation as to [14] flatness issues as well as gives credence to what is raised in [8] [9] as far as the existence, of an additional GW polarization. We wish to point to an earlier paper by Beckwith, and Glinka [15] which has some of the same formalism, but which is geared toward proving inputs from a multiverse. The document so tendered now, has little of the same orientation, plus the emphasis in this paper is to vacuum energy due to conditions in the present universe, without speculation as to multiverses.…”

“…The document so tendered now, has little of the same orientation, plus the emphasis in this paper is to vacuum energy due to conditions in the present universe, without speculation as to multiverses. In addition, [15] makes claims as to conflating gravitons with dark energy. Such speculation is beyond the scope of the document which has been submitted and which has to be proven, experimentally.…”

“…After this is confirmed, speculations as to conflating gravitons, directly with dark energy may be investigated experimentally. Sadly, the author sees little hope of confirming if the multiverse construction of [15] has any chance of being experimentally tested, in the foreseeable future. Since our orientation, in this paper is the documentation of conditions which may be accessible to experimental vetting, we have to delay for the time being the interesting multiverse speculations of [15] as something which may be tested in the middle of this century, but not now.…”

This article poses the question of a minimum cosmological constant, i.e. vacuum energy at the start of the cosmological evolution from a near singularity. We pose this comparing formalism as given by Berry (1976) as to a small time length, and compare that in its entirety to compare this value given by Berry (1976) with a minimum time length at the start of cosmological space-time evolution. Using the methodology of Zeldovich (1972) as to a problem with electron-positron pair production we also propose another upper bound to the problem of minimum time length which may be accessible to experimental inquiry. This then makes the problem of minimum time length a way of specifying a magnetic field dependence of the cosmological constant, which has major implications to answering if quintessence, i.e. a changing cosmological vacuum energy, or a constant for the "cosmological constant" problem. Our answer is an initial value for the cosmological vacuum energy 10 10-10 20 times greater than today which suggests either Quintessence, or if still a constant, a much better value for this parameter than what is suggested by traditional field theory methods. In closing we review how our construct supports work done by Corda, as to early universe models and what the implications are, as to the choices we have made.
