The worst prediction
The vacuum catastrophe is a 10^120 discrepancy between the theoretical QFT vacuum energy and the observed cosmological constant -- the worst prediction in the history of physics, with no other discrepancy in natural science approaching this magnitude.

Claim boundary
This page reports a Registry-backed internal result surface. It is not an external validation claim, a scientific consensus claim, or independent acceptance.
Curation rationale
- physics-facing terms: cosmological, energy, vacuum
- result-facing terms: constant, prediction
- candidate is better handled as evidence for an inferred existing public surface
