Although our Universe appears to be stable, it might just be in a temporary state of false calm that could rupture in the blink of an eye.

    tl;dr False Vacuum Decay

    Maybe one day it will also tell us how worried we need to be about the Universe as we know it suddenly transforming into something else entirely.

    I mean, really? we would never see it coming and, quite honestly, it sounds like a reasonable way to go - [poof; gone]. super cool science but as far as worry goes, there are many more painful and urgent issues to attend to in the here and now.

    This would be the ideal end TBH. No warning, no dread, no pain, no suffering, just one instant you’re biology and the next instant you’re physics.

      It could be happening constantly at all times and we’ll never know because consciousness only persists in the universes where it does not happen.

      Its neat.
