Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe.

A collaborative effort in quantum research from scientists at The University of Leeds in the UK, Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany, and the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has shed light on an elusive phenomenon that could help us understand the ‘vacuum state’ of our Universe,

The universe could undergo a catastrophe that would change absolutely everything, scientists have shown using a quantum machine. The groundbreaking simulation allowed scientists to better understand a phenomenon that could entirely change the structure of the universe – and about which little is still known.
