What are the gravitational effects, if any, of the immense (possibly
infinite) vacuum energy density seemingly predicted by quantum field
theory? Is it really that huge? If so, why doesn't it act like an
enormous cosmological constant?

If the theory holds true, it may well act as a cosmological constant.
It may explain earthly phenomenon that we now try and explain by the presence of all of the matter and objects in space - which isn't really very plausible - given the enormous distances involved.

Gravitational effect is the reason for the very existence of the Earth, the Sun, and other celestial bodies; without it, matter would not have coalesced into these bodies and life as we know it would not exist. Gravitation is also responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun, the Moon in its orbit around the Earth, for the formation of tides, and for various other natural phenomena that we observe.

it could be prompt. however the result does not be substantive in any way. undergo in techniques gravity decreases via the sq. of the distanace so something that distant might have no measurable gravitational result on earth. yet once you think of in terms of relativity, gravity is a warping of the textile of area-time. an on the spot "magical" disappearence of a sizable call defies the "time" part of spacetime yet in a mystical universe might likewise in the present day "unwarp" the textile of area-time. the basis of a sizable call disappearing quickly defies physics so this scenario that's composed of the gravity result could by no ability happen. on the different hand in the "actual" international activities are going on in the regulations of physics then the gravity from the large call will additionally obey the regulations of physics and the fee shrink.
