HAEMOGLOBIN Angel of the Source and of True Emptiness Any pronouns |

Last week, one of the engineers claimed she could see patterns in the Source. Fluctuations in the glowing core that were not quite regular and not quite random enough to be natural. Today, an electrician reported feeling existential dread and a certainty that we were on the brink of catastrophe. We may need to shorten the time between shift rotations. Newcomers have been told not to stare into the Core and avoid proximity to affected machinery, as this has been known to cause paranoia, existential terror, false apocalyptic premonitions, and delusions of the reactor's sentience. We recommend posting prominent warning signs and taking harsher disciplinary action. The Source is not unstable. There is no false vacuum. Claiming otherwise will be grounds for termination. Under no circumstances should employees leave objects symbolizing a decrease in entropy (e.g., a crystal, a frozen cup of coffee, a living creature, a pair of properly entangled particles) in the dark spaces between wires. Worshipping the angel of metastability will be grounds for termination. |

In quantum field theory, a false vacuum is a hypothetical vacuum that is relatively stable, but not in the most stable state possible. This condition is known as metastable. It may last for a very long time in that state, but could eventually decay to the more stable state, an event known as false vacuum decay. The most common suggestion of how such a decay might happen in our universe is called bubble nucleation – if a small region of the universe by chance reached a more stable vacuum, this "bubble" (also called "bounce") would spread.
A vacuum is defined as a space with as little energy in it as possible. Despite the name, the vacuum still has quantum fields. A true vacuum is stable because it is at a global minimum of energy, and is commonly assumed to coincide with the physical vacuum state we live in. It is possible that a physical vacuum state is a configuration of quantum fields representing a local minimum but not global minimum of energy. This type of vacuum state is called a "false vacuum".
If our universe is in a false vacuum state rather than a true vacuum state, then the decay from the less stable false vacuum to the more stable true vacuum (called false vacuum decay) could have dramatic consequences. The effects could range from complete cessation of existing fundamental forces, elementary particles and structures comprising them, to subtle change in some cosmological parameters, mostly depending on the potential difference between true and false vacuum. Some false vacuum decay scenarios are compatible with survival of structures like galaxies and stars or even biological life while others involve the full destruction of baryonic matter or even immediate gravitational collapse of the universe, although in this more extreme case the likelihood of a "bubble" forming may be very low (i.e., false vacuum decay may be impossible).
