In the preface to Sussman and Wisdoms Functional Differential Geometry they state, "One way to become aware of the precision required to unambiguously communicate a mathematical idea is to program it for a computer." I bring it up

I think vacuum energy is best described as a product of the mathematical model used to describe reality with an accuracy of 10 decimal places. From that perspective it seems a very reasonable deduction. Wave functions can be seen as the sum

Scientists: our calculations are consistently and dramatically different than our observations, even when accounting for every externality we can imagine, there must be something that we are unable to probe that accounts for this disparity,
