Since the observable universe is so large, a collapse may already be in progress. There might be a bubble of doom moving towards us from deep space right now.It is not impossible but it’s unlikely; the chance of a drop having no connection to previous weeks is mathematically low, but it’s not zero. The scientists are still working on the models used to determine the precise limits of safety.The subsequent phase change

would erase all the parameters of the cosmos. The universe ceases to exist and is replaced by new physics.The present vacuum state is very metastable, as per advanced particle physics simulations. These highly complicated calculations bring the calculated time for cosmic survival even closer.Extreme mathematical models (the kind that are not found in many science textbooks) actually propose that spacetime itself has vulnerable crack points. The entire structure of the Universe may just begin to fall apart, under what is called a “quantum strain.”Dark energy is the force that is responsible for causing our universe to expand. Heavy acceleration could add new cosmic stresses that could cause a sudden and catastrophic collapse.One possible way to warping the vacuum state is by a massive cosmic collision, such as two black holes joining together. The ultimate destroying force may be intense gravitational stress.Earlier, the universe was found to be safe for trillions of years more. This abrupt phase change may, however, occur in theory much earlier, but, according to new calculations.At the true vacuum, the fundamental laws of nature are radically altered. Any form of matter would be instantly destroyed, and atoms would cease to exist.A false vacuum is sort of like a ball on a temporary dip on a hill. If it had sufficient quantum push, it would plunge down to the bottom.The destruction is at the speed of light, so there is no way of forecasting it. When the collapse would come, it would destroy our world even before we were conscious of it.If a quantum transition occurred locally it would produce an expanding bubble of alternative space. This bubble would grow outwards in all directions at the actual speed of light.What the mass of the Higgs particle implies is that there is something fragile about our universe. A tiny fluctuation of one quantum would alter the entire Higgs field and thus instantaneously change physics.It could be the case that our universe is in a false vacuum, an energy state that is temporary and unstable. If this field goes into a true vacuum, it will produce an unstoppable collapse of the cosmos.
