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.
Duality of man
Do it, pussy
“In a 2005 paper published in Nature, as part of their investigation into global catastrophic risks, MIT physicist Max Tegmark and Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom calculate the natural risks of the destruction of the Earth at less than 1/109 per year from all natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) events, including a transition to a lower vacuum state. They argue that due to observer selection effects, we might underestimate the chances of being destroyed by vacuum decay because any information about this event would reach us only at the instant when we too were destroyed.”
Maybe don’t do that???
torment nexus hours
I hope they stay at simulation
I’m ready
Won’t happen to me. I use a real vacuum cleaner on my carpets.
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.
Its like pulling the plug on tge simulation
