Before you go outside and start screaming in fear, we still have a little bit of time before things go ‘BOOM’!

According to the BBC, a concept known as vacuum instability could result, billions of years from now, in a new universe opening up in the present one and replacing it.

Joseph Lykken, a theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the mass of the Higgs boson indicates that… “It turns out there’s a calculation you can do in our Standard Model of particle physics, once you know the mass of the Higgs boson.”

Physicists last year announced they had discovered what appears to be a long-sought subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, which is believed to give matter its mass.

Work to study the Higgs’ related particles, necessary for confirmation, is ongoing.

If confirmed, the discovery would help resolve a key puzzle about how the universe came into existence some 13.7 billion years ago – and perhaps how it will end.

Fortunate for who what ever is alive at that time, your death will be as quick as switching of the light in house.

“This calculation tells you that many tens of billions of years from now, there’ll be a catastrophe,” Lykken said.

“A little bubble of what you might think of as an ‘alternative’ universe will appear somewhere and then it will expand out and destroy us,” Lykken said, adding that the event will unfold at the speed of light.

Many people saying “What’s the point”?

Earth will likely be long gone before any Higgs boson particles set off an apocalyptic assault on the universe. Physicists expect the sun to burn out in 4.5 billion years or so, and expand, likely engulfing Earth in the process.

…Aren’t you simply curious to know?

Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne in ‘Kill Bill Volume One’…Yes please.

What about the movies that should be on the big screen? ‘Pac-Man’ starring Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi as Pinky! Why is Buscemi always the color pink?

Chuck Norris as Mario in ‘Donkey Kong’, Gary Busey in ‘Bizzarro!’… Hell Ya!

I would watch the hell out of all of these.
