Our universe can be destroyed because a very basic type of particle is in progress

Experts from Harvard gave a relatively frightening warning about the collapse of the "Lord's Particle" - the Higgs boson - that would bring destruction to the entire universe.

Recently, astrophysicists from Harvard have come up with a truly scary warning about our universe. Accordingly, the universe is in danger of being destroyed by a kind of elementary particle - which creates mass for all forms of matter. It is the Higgs boson - also known as the "Lord's seed".

The universe will be destroyed by a very basic particle.

More precisely, experts say that when the universe touches with negative energy bubbles, which are created by the Higgs particle.

This process is predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics, which is used to explain the basic formation of matter. In this model, dark energy will make the universe's expansion process faster and faster, until the universe becomes a cold place, nothing more.

However, in the new study, the day the universe ended will be signaled by an explosion from the black hole of the universe. And this process has already begun.

Negative energy balls are spreading at the speed of light.

Specifically, the team began to study by analyzing what humans knew about the mass of particles, and how they interacted with each other.

What created the mass of matter was the Higgs - God's particle - which was introduced in the 1970s and confirmed in 2012 by the Hadron Collider. The mass of the Higgs particle fluctuates around about 126 GeV (gigaelectronvolt).

However, according to the laws of quantum physics, this volume is not always the case. And if that happens, it can "rip" all particles, including those that make life throughout the universe.

Meanwhile, negative energy will explode, creating energy bubbles. The balloon grows bigger, until it covers the whole universe and destroys it all.

"We want to fix all previous estimates, and make the most accurate predictions about the end of the universe," said Anders Andreassen, a Harvard expert.

"Let's imagine negative energy bubbles rushing towards us at the speed of light. We will never know how it came about."

According to Andreassen, the process of cosmic destruction may already be taking place, and a cosmic black hole is enough to trigger this process.

Ruth Gregory - an expert from Durham University (USA) agreed. Although not a member of the research team, Gregory said that spacetime being bent around a cosmic black hole could trigger the collapse of the Higgs. And if that happens, things will gradually fade away, which we won't know until it's too late.

The destruction of the universe may already be taking place, and a cosmic black hole is enough to activate this process.

Why? Because what we can observe from Earth is only a tiny fraction of what actually exists in this galaxy alone. The longest distance we can see is 13.8 billion light-years, while the visible area actually has to be 92 billion light-years away.

In other words, we are too far away.

In addition, Andreassen himself thinks that this process of destruction from beginning to end exceeds the understanding of a human life. As expected, the time when everything will end will fall into . 10 ^ 139 (10 caps 139) more years - ie 1 with 139 zero behind.

The study is published in Physical Review.
