By my understanding, the cosmological constant problem is that the computed vacuum energy by quantum field theory (in the form of virtual particle pairs) is far larger than the measured vacuum energy density.
Would it not seem to solve the problem with dropping the proposed mass of "virtual particles"? Say, we assume that the quantum fluctuations of empty space are just that, artifact fluctuations from the uncertainty principle, and not really particle pairs with mass?
