The Most Efficient Way to Destroy the Universe – False Vacuum

What if there is a way to destroy the universe so fundamentally that life as we know it will be impossible forever?

Me:
Kurzgesagt: Might be wrong
Me: lol wtf ok

[samuelfletcher]

Kursgesagt video plan
1. Say the world will end and there is no hope
2. Say it’s ok and we aren’t going to die for some random reason
3. Add birds

[jeryhenuhili]

1:39 ". . . if our current understanding of physics is correct . . ."

I love the humility of science. Marvelous!

[sockatume]

Vacuum decay is one of my favourite topics and you have done a wonderful job with it here. First-rate science communication on a potentially confounding topic.

[Houdini]

Krzgesagt videos only have two outcomes. Made you feel good and hopefully optimistic or gripped by terror.

[RaHul-yrye]

"because everything wants to remain in its low energy state"

My laziness justified

[LordPhobos]

Vaccuum decay is the existential threat I worry about the least.
It could happen... maybe. But we'd never see it coming, or feel it, or... anything.
Also, I remember reading somewhere that if it happened today, 4 billion light years away, that the bubble will never reach us due to universal expansion.

So it's interesting, and this is a *great* video on the topic, but... it won't keep me up at night.

The cats destroying the house with 3am zoomies will keep me up at night.

[dasamont]

I was thinking that there's potentially countless instances of vacuum decay happening in the universe, even outside our observable universe, but they're so far away that they'll likely never bother us. Then they mentioned exactly that, neat

[benaffleck]

What a great instructional video! I'll definitely be trying this at home.

[SimplySarc]

Wait, does this mean another section of the universe could have physics completely different to our own?

[gmopotato]

I think my most reassuring thought here is that the entire theory is based on "what if the Higgs field isn't actually stable" because that's a what if. I don't know of any evidence pointing towards that being the case. What if it is stable and there's nothing to worry about?

[PhotonZXY]

Me: *finds universe self-destruct button*
Also Me: If I’m not gonna exist, neither can you guys

[paulokhayat]

So if you want to destroy the universe go to every mountain and start pushing all the rocks down.

[dextercochran]

Fundamental particle: jiggles in a slightly weird way

All of reality: *COWABUNGA IT IS*

[gurshansingh]

"We like to destroy the universe every few months"
Is so funny and terrifying at the same time

[Dumb_Unfortunate_Man]

Thanks, Kurzgesagt! I have always wanted to destroy all of existence by moving in a slightly weird way!

[XsomeoneXelseX]

"It is metastable, which means it pretends to be stable, but it's not"
So, me at job interviews.

[toothrot_]

Kurzgezagt has a playlist called "The Existential Crisis Playlist"
i love it

[Avetho]

I remember reading a fanfic called Scientia that involved this, and mankind in that was hella badass, basically almost all uploaded and living with AIs that are also citizens, and one line I loved was "After all she had seen, she could not help but believe that humans would prove harder to kill than universes. And so she would not give up, as long as will remained." as one woman was doggedly working for a few dozen eons to keep the Exodus Fleet escaping the encroaching vacuum collapse while managing an incredibly finite thermal budget to avoid cooking everyone, and having scanned a nearby stable universe (the one of Worm incidentally) they sent a neural lace seed through the smallest large-enough portal they could open for the briefest time and it overtook Taylor to make her their champion who would build up in that dimension using information from the leftover connection and save as many of their origin civilization as possible. That woman who that quote is from was there in the 24th Century with the first stellar lifter and she's still there a few dozen billion years later, still working seemingly eternally to give man the best chance at life. Its an extremely good story, and at the moment the author, TaliesinSkye, is going through law school so they're preoccupied.
