Why does the predicted mass of the quantum vacuum have little effect on the expansion of the universe?

Because Racecar!
My knowledge of quantum mechanics is "Its stranger that anything you can possible think of."

Pretty big guess: Is it because the predicted mass of the quantum vacuum is the same everywhere and therefore acts in all directions?

If dark matter is what us causing the vacuum and the universe is surrounded by this dark matter, three universe is expanding exponentially because this vacuum its pulling in all directions at a similar rate.

I really didn't like QM in college.
