Universe Has Finite Lifespan, higgs boson suggests.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I hate huffingtonpost, especially their science articles, but until there is better information....
"It may be that the universe we live in is inherently unstable and at some point billions of years from now it's all going to get wiped out," said Lykken, who is also on the science team at Europe's Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator.
From what I understand this just increases the chances of a false vacuum decay, which was already a possibility anyway, since it how our universe came into being.


IANAP though.
