The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of
cosmic acceleration due to dark energy, a discovery that is all the
more perplexing as nobody knows what dark energy actually is. We
put the modern concept of cosmological vacuum energy into
historical context and show how it grew out of disparate roots in
quantum mechanics (zero-point energy) and relativity theory (the
cosmological constant, Einstein's "greatest blunder"). These two
influences have remained strangely aloof and still co-exist in an
uneasy alliance that is at the heart of the greatest crisis in
theoretical physics, the cosmological-constant problem.
