Physicists suggest the universe could end through a phenomenon called false vacuum decay, constituting a catastrophic state where a bubble of true vacuum could annihilate everything. Currently, the universe exists in a 'false vacuum,' indicating it is not in its most stable configuration. If disturbed, this unstable state could initiate an expansive destruction of galaxies and planets. Experts like Professor Ian Moss describe this event as similar to a line of dominoes, where a slight disturbance could lead to total collapse, emphasizing the inherent instability of the cosmos.
Professor Ian Moss describes the universe's instability as akin to 'a table-top with many dominoes standing on their side,' illustrating how a small disturbance can trigger larger catastrophic events.
Dr. Louise Hamaide explains a false vacuum's instability by comparing it to 'a marble in a bowl' where the marble can rest in a false position until nudged into a stable state.
