    If our particular bubble of the universe has remained unmolested for 13.8 billion years, it is safe to assume it will continue to be for the next 1000 years.

      Also it’s not like assuming it will collapse in the next decade will make any difference other than having a harder time enjoying the time before then.

      i don’t know quantum mechanics or much about particles. I watched a video on False vacuum decay, and it says if higgs change state it might change the laws of physics

      So can’t it be that the universe had change of states of other particles maybe in past (billions year before life) that changed the laws of physics and so on.
