Recent research published in Physical Letters B indicates that the stability of the universe, which has persisted for 13.7 billion years, may be threatened by the Higgs boson. The study suggests that models involving primordial black holes are likely incorrect as their existence would have destabilized the Higgs field, potentially leading to cosmic destruction. The Higgs boson is crucial for the mass and interactions of all known particles, linked to a field that maintains uniformity across the universe. However, the Higgs field isn't believed to be in its lowest energy state, which raises the possibility of a phase transition that could drastically change physical laws. Such a transition would create low-energy bubbles of space with altered physical properties, affecting fundamental particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons. As the universe seems to be safe for now, ongoing research is essential to further our understanding of the Higgs field's implications for cosmic stability.
