We're still safe...

smh the AI can't even show number with a power notation on it. I read it and thought to myself, huh, so like 1800 years? that can't be right.

interesting. But with 10^80 protons in the observable universe, isn't it supposed to be kind of common?

@lorentz even if it was, we probably wouldn‘t notice it.

That‘s why vacuum decay is much more fun.

@lorentz ok, actually not that fun but rather boring.

There needs to be only one single spot in the observable universe where it jumps from a hypothetical local minimum to a global minimum and then a shockwave of vacuum decay would start expanding at the speed of light, obliterating everything that it reaches.

We won’t see it coming because the light wouldn’t have time to reach us before the shockwave does.
And we won‘t feel any pain during the obliteration because by the time that the signals for pain would reach our brain and be processed, the shockwave would already have erased us.

So, in principle there is no way to witness it or to know that it happed.
