http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21499765 Scientists say they may be able to determine the eventual fate of the cosmos as they probe the properties of the Higgs boson. A concept known as vacuum instability could result, billions of years from now, in a new universe opening up in the present one and replacing it. It all depends on some precise numbers related to the Higgs that researchers are currently trying to pin down. A "Higgs-like" particle was first seen at the Large Hadron Collider last year. Interesting idea. I guess it's a better fate than a slow, lingering death as everything decays, and the universe is reduced to an ever-expanding emptiness. |
