News: "Higgs data indicates finite life of universe"

My last post is going to be short and straightforward. I mean, this is an innovation for my blog. So you can't say it's something bad :P

If you want to check if I simply invented the news by myself (because I often do... not), you can click just right here, okay, actually you have to click here and then you can read what the journalist wrote about the topic.

Don't worry, I won't talk about the complex physical details behind these news, even though it has actually a small relation to my research project. But maybe I'm going to write about that next term or maybe next year (sure we'll have to do another blog next year), when I will have progressed a bit and there will be more to explain.

One of the things that enchanted me most since my childhood were the universe and it's origins. I always asked myself the big questions, like "Where do we come from?" or "Why is our world the way it is?". You see, I was a child with difficult questions to answer, my parents must have had a rough time with me on some days... I did not only ask "Mummy, daddy, where do they babies come from?" knowing exactly the real answer (I was so evil), no, I also asked for things which were even a mystery for the people we consider to have been the most intelligent ones, like Einstein.

Now, this piece of news explains that basing this theory on some important discoveries about the Higgs field (which is a currently still hypothetical, invisble field that is believed to modifiy the behaviour and the properties of elemental particles) from last year, some physicists now state that our universe will possibly be "consumed" by another new universe. It will probably emerge from some point in our universe and then expand like a bubble and erase our universe while it grows.

No, don't worry, the world is not going to end the 21th of December next year..

If this really happens, we will already be history. And I mean the really far history, like, some billions of years in the past.

Anyway, it is an interesting theory. Because this could mean that our universe is not the first one. Maybe there was another one that existed before ours and it was annihilated by our universe in the same way?

This would mean that, even if we discover the origins of our own universe, we still would have to know what happened before...

Maybe you think this is kind of frustrating, perhaps we will never know everything that happened, but as I said earlier: "The human's curiosity will never have limits". And so won't mine.

If the dimensions of time and space were initialised with our universe, then we have better chances to get closer to the beginning of the beginnings. But who knows...?

Finally, I wanted to advert you that, if you are reading this post first... STOP!

You should read my posts in the chronological order because I tend to match the ideas or sentences I used in each post with other ones.

So, that was it, I've done my last post this term. God.. eh sorry... Big Bang, what a relief!

I hope you enjoy my posts and you have a good time reading ;)
