(9,137 posts)the current set of equations don't work without supposing huge amount of dark matter, of which measurable matter is just a tiny fraction, and which dark matter is just tiny fraction of dark energy. They are called "dark" because they cannot be directly measured, only deduced theory-dependently.
Also, self-evidently, in participatory universe energy measured is not "outside" and independent of the act of measurement, which is also energy.
Hence also the energy of vacuum fluctuations cannot be directly measured or defined, as Uncertainty Principle is involved.
All these remain more or less open questions in standard physics. Which you claim - against the scientific understanding - "works fine". If it already did so, there would be no theoretical search for the GUT and TOE.
As for "Cosmic Consciousness or what ever", consciousness involves self-reference. What kind of energy is that and how do you measure it?
