Physicists Simulate Cosmic Bubble Expansion That Could Erase Everything
Hızlı Bakış
- Physicists simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical scenario where a tiny cosmic bubble could expand and erase everything in its path.
- The experiment showed how a metastable "false vacuum" could tunnel into a lower-energy "true vacuum" via quantum effects, triggering destructive vacuum bubbles.
- The research does not suggest the universe is imminent collapse.

Physicists have explored the concept of "false vacuum decay," a theoretical scenario where a tiny bubble in the cosmos could expand and erase everything. This idea has been a subject of discussion in theoretical physics for decades. An experiment was conducted to simulate how a metastable "false vacuum" could transition into a lower-energy "true vacuum" through quantum effects.
If a certain tiny bubble suddenly appeared somewhere in the cosmos, physicists say, it could expand and erase everything in its path.
Known as “false vacuum decay”, the scenario has been one of the most unsettling ideas in theoretical physics for nearly half a century.
The experiment simulated how a metastable “false vacuum” could tunnel into a lower-energy “true vacuum” through purely quantum effects, triggering the formation and expansion of destructive vacuum bubbles.
The research does not suggest the universe is about to collapse.
