    That’s a great quote! I just did some searching: I’m thinking about false vacuum, and can live with the fact that if our universe does decay, it will (according to this theory) happen at the speed of light, so it will be impossible to observe before we are instantly wiped out, which is a calming thought.

      This is similar to the thought process cracked.com recommended regarding gamma ray bursts, IIRC.

      I’m currently doing some studies and only briefly logged in here to check things, but once my boring studies are done, I’ll try to remember to check your link for interesting studies.
