Scientific paper

It has been argued by Boyer, McCrea, Puthoff, and others that the zero-point electromagnetic radiation of quantum theory really exists. This idea is examined from the cosmological viewpoint. If the field is regenerated on a cosmic scale, its energy density requires an unlikely combination of cosmological parameters. And if the field energy interacts gravitationally in the conventional way, it leads to some awkward cosmological consequences. General relativity appears to imply either that zero-point electromagnetic energy does not exist, or that it exists but does not gravitate. In either event, major revisions may be necessary in quantum mechanics and/or gravitation.
