Popis:	This paper presents a theoretical calculation of the vacuum energy density by summing the contributions of all quantum fields vacuum states which turns out to indicate that there seems to be a missing bosonic contribution in order to match the predictions of current cosmological models and all observational data to date. The basis for this calculation is a Zeta function regularization method used to tame the infinities present in the improper integrals of power functions. Comment: 8 pages. Slightly changed the title to better capture this version of the paper. Corrected the application of the Zeta regularization and hence the vacuum energy density formula (equation 8) and the final results and conclusions. Added some further background and references. Also added summary of key and novel contributions of the paper
