In quantum physics, there’s a state with even less energy than a vacuum, called a true vacuum, which is stable because it has ...

Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

Physicists have modelled a quantum mechanism that can result in the end of the universe through the mechanism of false vacuum ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, SWITZERLAND, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In recent decades, physics has entered a period of rapid expansion in empirical knowledge ...

Physicists in China have recreated a laboratory-scale simulation of 'false vacuum decay,' a hypothetical quantum process that could in theory trigger the sudden destruction of the universe. Using a ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified picture of the Universe. GENEVA, SWITZERLAND ...

For centuries, humanity has sought to understand the fundamental laws governing the Universe. In the twenty-first century, that search has entered a new and unprecedented phase. Modern science now ...

Major theoretical works have often triggered new scientific debate, particularly when they address questions that have remained central to physics for more than a century. In recent weeks, following a ...

Physicists in China have used giant Rydberg atoms to simulate a theoretical quantum process called false vacuum decay, a rare ...
