    Since the collapse would happen only at the speed of light, and the universe is so vast, it could have been happening for millions of years by now and the human race could still die by natural extinction before it gets anywhere near us. If the collapse originates from beyond the observable universe, it’d never reach us.

      I think time is a dimension this shit is not restrained upon movement through the way we are. Mostly because it destroys the structure itself.

        Space is emerging faster than it can transmit changes. This is why no light can reach us beyond the observable universe.

            As stupid as that sounds, you are not totally wrong.

            @don@lemm.ee and @kopasz7@sh.itjust.works you are misunderstanding what “observable universe” means. The observable universe is defined by the particle horizon, but the universe that can affect us in the future is defined by the event horizon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_horizon says

            The particle horizon differs from the cosmic event horizon, in that the particle horizon represents the largest comoving distance from which light could have reached the observer by a specific time, while the cosmic event horizon is the largest comoving distance from which light emitted now can ever reach the observer in the future.

            But even the cosmological event horizon distance is dependent on our model of the universe’s expansion, which in turn depends on the content of the universe. An event such as a vacuum collapse will drastically alter the content and the expansion rate, rendering our calculation of the event horizon invalid. So “snap changes…” may in fact be the case.

    There is an entire sub-genre in Comics of cartoons riffing on Garfield like this one. Nearly every cartoonist has done it and, oh my lord, it fills me with joy & reminds me why I actually love people.

    The neat thing is the collapse travels at the speed of light, so nobody will ever know what hit them.

    Garfield, did you move a small region of the universe to a true vacuum state?

    I’m sorry but I insist you call it by its full Christian name Englert–Brout–Higgs–Guralnik–Hagen–Kibble field
