 Stephen Hawking: End of the world is possible

According to the conclusions of the English physicist, end of the world may be the result of tunneling between two vacuum states of the Universe writes Surfingbird.ru. On his observations scientist told in the foreword to a new book called Starmus – it included texts written by famous physicists.

According to the findings of the researcher, our universe may have called in a state of so-called false vacuum. If so, the experiments are carried out with the Higgs boson may have very negative consequences. In particular, as a result of which the world can move into another, more stable state.

metastable state can be either false or true. The transition from one state to another implies fluctuations. Such disturbances can translate familiar system to a state that is more energetically favorable.

This is exemplified by the well-known problem with pits and ball. Perturbations can roll the ball from one well to another – deeper. In this well the ball will feel “more profitable” everything and this pit corresponds to the true vacuum. The rest are false.

However, not all scientists share concerns that gave Stephen Hawking. To begin with, that for quantum tunneling requires energy, which is equal to a hundred billion GeV. In today’s world it is impossible to achieve such performance. For comparison, the Large Hadron Collider could use the energy in the fourteen thousands of GeV.
