False Vacuum Decay - We're f*cked?

2011-12-12T02:18:00.000-04:00

Wikipedia: "In quantum field theory, a false vacuum is a metastable sector of space that appears to be a perturbative vacuum, but is unstable due to instanton effects that may tunnel to a lower energy state. This tunneling can be caused by quantum fluctuations or the creation of high-energy particles. Simply put, the false vacuum is a local minimum, but not the lowest energy state, even though it may remain stable for some time. This is analogous to metastability for first-order phase transitions."

Bubbling the False Vacuum Away

"We investigate the role of nonperturbative, bubble-like inhomogeneities on the decay rate of false-vacuum states in two and three-dimensional scalar field theories. The inhomogeneities are induced by setting up large-amplitude oscillations of the field about the false vacuum as, for example, after a rapid quench or in certain models of cosmological inflation. We show that, for a wide range of parameters, the presence of large-amplitude bubble-like inhomogeneities greatly accelerates the decay rate, changing it from the well-known exponential suppression of homogeneous nucleation to a power-law suppression."

False vacuum

A scalar field φ in a false vacuum. Note that the energy E is higher than that in the true vacuum or ground state, but there is a barrier preventing the field from classically rolling down to the true vacuum. Therefore, the transition to the true vacuum must be stimulated by the creation of high-energy particles or through quantum-mechanical tunneling.

What is false-vacuum decay in layman's terms?

Frank and Pablo - Frank De Martini and Pablo Ortiz

2011-09-11T17:39:00.000-03:00

Francis (Frank) Albert De Martini and Pablo Ortiz, two ordinary Americans that lost their lives after saving 77 others on September 11, 2001 while working their way up through the chaos inside the burning North Tower to look for more survivors.

These 3 clips from the recent TLC 2 Hour Special use real and re-enacted footage chronicling the: "Heroes of the 88th Floor... an untold story of survival and bravery of those whose lives were impacted when Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center."

More about Frank and Pablo can be found in this New York Times 2003 archive piece entitled,

"THE PORT AUTHORITY TAPES: OVERVIEW; Fresh Glimpse in 9/11 Files Of the Struggles for Survival"

I highly recommend you watch this TLC special. Links to their 9/11 memorial pages at the bottom

A few brave men risked their lives to evacuate the 88th and 89th floors of the World Trade Center. Minutes after the first plane crashes, Frank De Martini finds an evacuation route for the employees of the 88th floor. It's a move that saves their lives.
