The Higgs Boson and the new theory of cosmic apocalypse

According to Discovery News, if calculations about the Higgs Boson - discovered last year - are correct, within a few billion years the universe will disappear at the speed of light. And scientists believe it will not only be destroyed, along with everything else, but it will be replaced by a rather bland alternative dimension.

Analyzes for physicists to be absolutely sure that the particle actually detected is the Higgs boson continue, and so far no evidence has been found to contradict the finding. Even so, scientists need to make sure that the uncharged, spinless particle with a mass of 126 billion electron volts is not an impostor, but the elementary particle that would explain the origin of the mass of all the others. elementary particles.

Future critic

However, according to physicists the number “126 billion electron volts” is a very critical figure when it comes to the future of the universe. Apparently, if we use all the physics we have known so far and do some calculations - well, not us, but crazy theoretical physicists! - the result indicates that the universe is actually unstable and that within a few billion years it should disappear.

This event would be related to the energy field of the Higgs Boson, which physicists believe is present throughout the universe. To perform the calculation, it is necessary to know the boson mass in the proportion of 1%, as well as the exact mass of other subatomic particles.

Alternate universe

According to physicists, basically the universe may someday change state, and when it does, an alternate universe will appear in the form of a small bubble that will then expand, destroying everything that exists.

It may all be a frightening cosmic coincidence, but if the calculations are correct, there is nothing we can do to stop the process. Besides, it's no use worrying too much either. If the end of the universe really does occur, no life form will ever see the apocalypse coming.
