How Many Bosons Would it Take to Create a False Vacuum?

[Alex K]

Probaby not, or else our universe would collapse all the time.

The barrier would be made of higgs field energy, mostly. You could interpret that as a gathering of uncountable bosons if you stretch it, but I don't find it very convincing. Could you make the fields such as the higgs field an entity like the force in Star Wars from which your protagonists somehow spring and which they are always connected to?

Thanks Alex. what I'm trying to do right now is I have a Higgs boson named Higgy. He's going to crate a false vacuum as a distraction. The protag isn't inside the bubble (although that might be an interesting plot twist at some point). I guess I could just say it's energy. Could this energy be created by other types of bosons, say photons or gluons? I like to have characters doing things so the story will be cinematic.

Creating a true vacuum bubble should be a big deal and not something every Higgs boson can just do on a whim - it's basically destroying the entire universe. So there should be more to it, e.g. having the help of some ultraenergetic cosmic ray particles who with their immense energy can unleash these powers if you bring them into collision. Higgy could then use his connection to the higgs field to channel this energy into the higgs field where it nucleates a bubble of the true vacuum.
