Are we living in a metastable universe?

RE: Are we living in a metastable universe?
Ah this must be this.

Quote: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.

Hmm looks like one universe could replace an older one.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
