    Of course, this expected time-to-decay has only shifted from 10794 years to 10790 years

    There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for the false vacuum state ever collapses, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
    There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

    Particle masses would change, along with all associated physics, as suddenly the lower Higgs field state means that everything has significantly more mass. To say that it would shake up the Universe would an understatement.

    would this be enough extra mass to overcome dark energy expanding the universe and cause a Big Crunch? or would everything be far too spread out at that point for gravity/mass to matter at all?
