Cosmological Constant Problem and $H_0$ Tension in Void-dominated Cosmology

Abstract

In this work, we study the cosmological constant problem and Hubble tension in the void-dominated cosmology scenario \cite{Yusofi:2022hgg}. For this goal, we will first consider the cosmic voids in the cosmic web as interconnected ideal spherical bubbles at the early Planck scale and late large scale. By heuristic calculations for each cosmic void, we obtain particular mass density and cosmological constant that are the same order of magnitude as the entire universe on any scale. The values obtained for the cosmological constant vary from scale to scale. As a result, it will be shown that there is a roughly $\sim 10^{22}$ difference between the cosmological constant at the present and Planck scales. Finally, it will be shown that the slight difference between the surface tension of the cosmic bubbles may explain the tension between local and global measurements of $H_{\rm 0}$.
