Study suggests early universe instability from Higgs boson was prevented by stabilizing thermal effects.

A new study suggests that the Higgs boson's instability might have ended the universe in its early stages, but stabilizing thermal effects prevented it. Primordial black holes, lighter than a few thousand billion grams, could have acted as heat sources to destabilize the Higgs boson, but research indicates that their presence would have caused the Higgs boson to end the cosmos prematurely. This research highlights the importance of understanding the properties of the Higgs boson and its potential interactions with other particles and energy sources in the universe.
