Quantum brake model suggests the universe collapse may be slowed

A new theoretical model proposes that interactions between quantum fields and their environment can suppress transitions between different vacuum states, acting as a kind of cosmic 'quantum brake'. Under certain conditions, this mechanism could stabilise even a false vacuum, the unstable state that in some scenarios could trigger a catastrophic collapse of the universe. Physicists and science commentators are sharing the idea, which reframes vacuum decay as a process environment can slow or block.
Why now: Fresh theoretical work on vacuum decay and the fate of the universe is drawing attention in physics discussions
