The Universe As We Know It May End Sooner Than Expected
The Universe As We Know It May End Sooner Than Expected
One of the exciting aspects of some fields of physics is that they involve calculating the expected time until the Universe ends or experiences fundamental shifts that would render most if not all …

Clickbaity title. The estimated time until Higgs field decay has been changed from 10794 years to 10790 years. Presumably there's some tiny chance of it happening today, but practically we can just continue worrying about all the regular stuff that is about to kill us all.
Also, from what I understand, we wouldn't see it coming (as the decay would be spreading at the speed of light), and everything would be over before our senses could ever detect anything out of the ordinary.

That's a huge difference, the estimate became 10,000 times smaller.
It is, but there are still quite a lot of zeros left.
it's still a concern for biden
Its more like 0.5% difference.
Not really, the new value is 0.0001% of the old.
Just because the number has barely fewer digits doesn't mean it's barely smaller
Guess I'm not spending that Christmas with my family after all...
we'll find out who was right then
