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

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.

Yipes! I'm not ready to go there yet. I thought a false vacuum is just a warning sign before vacuum decay. I want Higgy to create a distraction that could imply the coming destruction of the universe without actually doing it.

BTW, can I send you a copy of Queen in care of the university where you work? They could deliver it to your office.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
