The most frightening theory known to man. -The false vacuum!

This is a short scientific hypothesis that proposes our own universe is actually in a false phase state as part of a much larger universe, meaning that our own universe and everything we know is temporary. The false vacuum that we are in will eventually pop and the larger universe will return to its normal state, meaning everything we know in our visible universe will cease to exist almost immediately without warning.

Quantum fields (which are basically a set of rules that the tiniest bits of matter need to obey) want to move from a high energy state to a lower energy state. When they are in the lowest energy state possible, they're stable. The fear is that one of these quantum fields, the Higgs field, is not actually stable, but rather exists in a "false vacuum." This means it still contains potential energy.

If this energy was somehow triggered, it would create a rolling tide of destruction, called a stable Higgs field, moving at the speed of light, vaporizing everything in its path, and leaving in its wake a void where physics as we know it would cease to exist and life would be impossible. Pretty cool, huh?

For all we know, this has already happened somewhere out there. But that doesn't mean we're screwed. The speed of light is pretty slow on the scale of the universe, and since the universe is expanding, its possible that one of these stable Higgs fields would never have the time to reach us. Or, scientists could just be wrong about the whole thing. Chances are we'll find another apocalypse to get wrapped up in before we ever really find out.

I hope that is helpful perspective..

Thank You !
