So can the universe end at any second because of the discovery of the Higgs Boson?

Well considering we're still here, I'd say we should with hold judgement. We know almost nothing about the Higgs. In fact CERN is still calling the discovery a "Higgs-like particle". We have a LOT to learn before we can say with any confidence.

We released Pioneer probes and Voyager probes which have very nearly left the picture voltaic device, yet are nevertheless a lot in the direction of our sunlight than the different massive call. to flow 13 or 14 Billion mild years (6 trillion miles each and each) could take so long that no you will be able to remember what we despatched and why, and the signal coming again could be so faint we may no longer word it if we remembered the position to look and pay interest. very nearly, we couldn't attain an end by utilising launching a rocket. you're excellent, inspite of the truth that. the finished of the Earth is infinitesimal compared to even basically our image voltaic device. One sensible sort of the universe has similarities to a balloon it extremely is increasing and the area between dots (stars) on the balloon keep getting farther aside. this idea is that there is not any "center" of the exterior of the balloon, and hence no side. The balloon is a three-D style of merchandise, even as the universe is a minimum of four, so that you'll have some mind's eye to imagine about the exterior of the balloon having no boundary and this idea of the universe doesn't both. Sorry i will't draw a photo, yet per chance the balloon analogy can help.

I don't see where you made the leap from "discovering the Higgs boson" to "causing the end of the universe." The universe didn't end when we discovered any other particle. What's so special about this one?

@Fitz: My point is that if it exists, it has always existed. They may be correct and the universe may end. But the universe won't end BECAUSE they were correct. It would be ending regardless of whether they figured it out or not.

The Universe doesn't even notice our discovery.of anything.

The Higgs, on examination, might yield data leading to a better estimation

of the expected life of the Universe, but it's not likely to change much.

You're really afraid the universe is ending because they discovered Higgs Bosons?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry I had to, but seriously, you're dead scared about it?! How is that something that's going to blow up the universe?! It has nothing to do with ending the universe, and even if it did, it wouldn't happen for a couple quadrillion years! Next you're going to wear a helment everywhere because of cell phone radiation!

If the Higgs boson exists, then its always existed. Humans finding it wouldn't cause anything to happen.

Why would the universe end just because particles which have been here all along are finally found?

Are you bing stupid on purpose, or does it just come naturally, to you?

.

As it was already there before we discovered it, its unlikely that the universe will end just because we have found it.

Although no one (including scientists!) really knows that much about the Universe so I guess anything is possible.

If you accept the theory that everything came from nothing in an instant, it's semi-logical to assume that everything could go back to nothing in an instant. That's why God was invented, to make sure that won't happen.

Aren't you getting mixed up with the principal of Schroedinger's Cat?
