Aug. 10, 2013 — One of the biggest mysteries in contemporary particle physics   
   and cosmology is why dark energy, which is observed to dominate energy density   
   of the universe, has a remarkably small (but not zero) value. This value is so   
   small, it is    
   perhaps 120 orders of magnitude less than would be expected based on   
   fundamental physics.   
      
   Resolving this problem, often called the cosmological constant problem, has so   
   far eluded theorists.   
      
   Now, two physicists -- Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State University and James   
   Dent of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette -- suggest that the recently   
   discovered Higgs boson could provide a possible "portal" to physics that could   
   help explain some of    
   the attributes of the enigmatic dark energy, and help resolve the cosmological   
   constant problem.
