Is the Lord's particle capable of destroying the universe in the future?

According to Professor Stephen Hawking, the kind of material named Higgs, or so-called

According to Professor Stephen Hawking, the kind of material called the Higgs particle, or "God's particle", was discovered by scientists in 2012 to destroy the universe. He said that with tremendous energy, the Higgs can cause both space and time to collapse.

Such a disaster will not happen in the present because scientists still do not have a particle accelerator large enough to carry out such an experiment, but Professor Hawking's opinion has made the scientific world immensely exalted.

The theoretical view of the theoretical physicist Higgs is given in the preface of the newly published Starmus, which brings together lectures by scientists and astronauts including: Neil Armstrong , Buzz Aldrin or Brian May.

Professor Hawking writes: "The potential of the Higgs is very disturbing because it can achieve a pseudo-state when it receives an energy source of over 100 billion giga electron volts (GeV). This means the universe will have to with a catastrophic vacuum decay at the speed of light, this can happen at any time and we cannot predict. "

However, Professor Hawking said sarcastically that this possibility may not happen in the near future.

"A particle accelerator that can reach 100 billion GeV energy will have to be bigger than Earth, and the economy currently cannot finance it."

Professor John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at the European Atomic Research Organization (CERN), said: "One thing needs to be clarified here. The fact that the Higgs is detected in a large particle accelerator (Large Hadron Collider - LHC) is not a problem, and collisions in the LHC will not cause instability because the energy levels there are too small. "

The kind of material called the Higgs, or "the seed of God"

Particle accelerators are devices that make particles inside atoms move at an increasing speed before they are hit. Scientists do this to detect tiny pieces of particles flying out, and this is how "God's seeds" were discovered in CERN's LHC machine in Sweden in 2012.

In the experiment, physicists realized the debris from collisions in accordance with what British scientist Peter Higgs predicted in the 1960s.

The Higgs is thought to be part of a mechanism that makes matter form and size, but so far scientists have not fully understood it.
