Quantum machine shows how cosmic bubbles could collapse universe 'like house of cards'

The article from MSN discusses a theoretical concept involving quantum mechanics and cosmology, where researchers have utilized a quantum machine to simulate how cosmic bubbles might lead to the collapse of the universe. These cosmic bubbles refer to regions of space where the laws of physics could differ from our current universe, potentially existing in a false vacuum state. If one of these bubbles were to expand and collide with our universe, it could trigger a catastrophic event, likened to a house of cards collapsing. The quantum machine, essentially a sophisticated quantum computer, helps in modeling these scenarios by simulating quantum fields and their interactions. This simulation provides insights into the stability of our universe, suggesting that under certain conditions, the universe could indeed be vulnerable to such a collapse, although the probability and specifics remain speculative and are subjects of ongoing research in theoretical physics.
