Bubble Trouble: China's Quantum Breakthrough and the Endless Universe Chinese researchers at Tsinghua University have successfully simulated false vacuum decay, a phenomenon that threatens to erase entire universes with its destructive bubble like expansion.
This breakthrough has sent ripples through the scientific community, sparking debate about the implications of such a simulation.
The concept of false vacuum decay is not new; it was first proposed by physicists Sidney Coleman and Frank de Wolff in 1973.
