To explain the relative abundance of the dark energy and non-baryonic cold dark matter (74 % and 22 % respectively), making up 96 % of the material content of the universe, it is proposed that space is filled with an equal amount of positive and negative mass particles, satisfying the average null energy condition, and with it the smallness of the cosmological constant. This assumption can explain the relative abundance of the dark energy and cold dark matter by the Madelung constant for the gravitationally-interacting positive and negative mass particles.
Key words: General Relativity; Negative Masses; Cosmology; Madelung Constant.
