      @Big Chungus , it's still a valid answer at the end: Even if it would happen, the rate at which the Universe accelerate it's expansion will be far to great for such a event to reach to us, even at the speed of light. And even if it will, it will take millions of years.

      Only if those rocks are giant Higgs-Boson particles, and when they rocket to the bottom, they cause a death wave that travels at light speed (or maybe faster, physics wouldn't play nice at that point).

    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.

      @coleguadenine8079 Před 7 lety +68

      Technically the game still exists (if it's on a computer and you're using an HDD rather than an SSD) because the alignment of magnetic particles in the drive are still the same where it is stored, it has just been removed from your file system's directory. It won't go completely all at once, instead various chunks of it will be slowly written over bit by bit (pun intended) as time passes and you save more and more files until it has lost so much that it is completely unrecognizable. Or until you defragment your hard drive, and then it will all go away in the span of an hour or so.

    • @TheAnantaSesa

      Brandon Ouellette sorry for the confusion. leaving your SIMS account active or a RPG running keeps the server rendering the environment as if it was a living experience IRL base level for a video game is when the transistors have all fried and no more current can pass over the processors. ie higgs decay for the game universe.

  • @Avetho
    @Avetho Před rokem +142

    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.

    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?

      @@NoName-hg6cc This is not accurate. We have models explaining a great many things in physics and we have derived laws and principles from these models.
      The Higgs field theory has interesting basis in astrophysics because we know that if the current model for the creation of the universe is right (and background radiation its echo) it started from an incredibly dense state that was not governed by physics as we know it. The physics we know today apply to the universe in its current expansion phase. And you can consider it valid up to an infinitely small amount of time succeeding the Universe beginning to expand.
      Even more interesting - if one could understand how it alters the laws of physics as we know them, we might be able to conceptualize what our universe could be like under a different field setting.

    If vacuum decay would only travel at lightspeed, then a single vacuum decay event would never be enough to destroy the entire universe, as cosmic expansion is faster than that. Hence, for vacuum decay to hypothetically destroy the universe, then there'd need to be multiple instances of it occurring across the cosmos.

      It's not true though, it's perfectly accurate to call it the vacuum state. It's the state of the empty space itself. It is incidental if something happens to occupy that space and make it not what you would call a vacuum. The space doesn't care. Besides, even what you think of as hard, solid, dense matter is mostly empty space, and effectively a vacuum.
