This paper critically reevaluates the prevailing models of vacuum energy and zero-point fields within quantum field theory and cosmology. While standard frameworks successfully explain phenomena like the Casimir effect and spontaneous emission, they fail to reconcile these effects with gravitational theory and cosmological observations. The cosmological constant problem—where theoretical predictions exceed observational values by over 120 orders of magnitude—remains unresolved. The review outlines the limitations of quantum field theory, general relativity, and current experimental methods, emphasizing the absence of a deterministic, causal mechanism for vacuum energy. It argues for a deeper theoretical foundation to bridge the disconnect between quantum vacuum behavior and cosmological dynamics.
