Physicists explain why a quantum bubble probably won't destroy reality

Original: A Quantum Bubble Could End Reality as We Know It. Here's Why It (Probably) Won't https://gizmodo.com/a-quantum-bubble-co

A Gizmodo article examines the hypothetical scenario known as vacuum decay, in which a bubble of true vacuum could expand at the speed of light and rewrite the laws of physics, ending reality as we know it. The piece reassures readers that while quantum field theory allows for the possibility, there is no evidence it is imminent or likely to happen.

Why now: The eye-catching doomsday physics topic draws curiosity, with the reassuring counterpoint making it shareable.
