catdynamics | August 9, 2013Lawrence Krauss just wrote an interesting letter: "Higgs Seesaw Mechanism as a Source for Dark Energy" - Krauss & Dent, PRL 2013
in it he argues for a see-saw mechanism in the Higgs sector which gives a natural scale for dark energy which is small, as observed.
The key point is that the energy scale is suppressed by
λ ~ (mH/mX)2)
where mH is the Higgs scale and X is some unification scale with mX >> mH
as a bonus you may expect a new long range weak force to go with the new physics.
Potentially interesting speculation.
Many moons ago, I wrote almost massless world on this here very…
