New Research Suggests Primordial Black Holes Could Have Ended the Universe

Studies reveal that Higgs boson instability, influenced by primordial black holes, poses a theoretical risk to cosmic stability.

  • New research indicates that primordial black holes would have triggered the Higgs boson to end the universe by now if they existed.
  • The Higgs boson, responsible for particle mass, suggests the universe is 'meta-stable' and not in its lowest energy state.
  • Phase transitions in the Higgs field could drastically alter the laws of physics, but have not occurred due to stabilizing factors.
  • Primordial black holes, if proven to exist, would have acted as heat sources, potentially causing Higgs field bubbles.
  • The absence of such catastrophic events points to either the non-existence of primordial black holes or unknown protective mechanisms in the Higgs field.
