| Title: |
A possible observational signature of the weight of vacuum energy
|
| Abstract: |
The problem of the cosmological constant is a well known
puzzle in theoretical physics. Among other difficulties, there are
basically no proposed observational tests which may provide indications
on how to solve the problem. In this talk I discuss the possibility
of "weighting the vacuum energy" from the observation of strange stars.
