Edge: THE ENERGY OF EMPTY SPACE THAT ISN'T ZERO: A Talk with Lawrence
Krauss

"So that is the way science has worked. But now because of this energy
of empty space - which is so inexplicable that if it really is an energy
of empty space, the value of that number is so ridiculous that it's
driven people to think that maybe, maybe it's an accident of our
environment, that physics is an environmental science - that certain
fundamental constants in nature may just be accidents, and there may be
many different universes, in which the laws of physics are different,
and the reasons those constants have the values they have might be - in
our universe - might be because we're there to observe them."
