Yes, to the extent that critical density and the cosmological constant are now used to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe.

More particularly, how does the concept of EEPs avoid the mutual incompatibility of quantum theory and GR, in the Planck regime?
In the Plank regime, the energy is represented as permeating space, and virtual particles are proposed to transmit or move energy from place to place. The EEP, having mass and being indestructible does not come in and out of existence, and becomes a GR entity having mass and momentum.

Just so that I don't misunderstand ... are you claiming that there is a fundamental limit to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?

In particular, that ΔE cannot be greater than some limiting value, no matter how small Δt is?
