Discovery of The Higgs Boson May Spell Doom For The Universe

Actually, the Higgs Boson particle itself(not its discovery) may spell doom for the universe but I needed a catchier title for my thread.

Might as well party like there is no tomorrow.

I blame it on geeks like Sheldon Cooper. :D

But even if the universe is in for an unfortunate end, there is at least one reason for consolation.

"You won't actually see it, because it will come at you at the speed of light," Lykken said. "So in that sense don't worry."

Can someone in laymen's terms tell me the difference of a stable and an unstable universe and how the Higg's mass makes a difference and why 126 whatever unit it is makes it unstable?

Lakers pre-Dwight= Stable Universe
Lakers with Dwight=Unstable Universe
Dwight= 126 whatever unit

Got it?

We're all doomed!






Billions of years from now.
