Why the Higgs Particle Hasn't Broken Physics

Research published in Physical Letters B reveals that the Higgs boson, crucial for mass and particle interactions, might not be in its most stable state. If it were, phase transitions could dramatically alter physics. Primordial black holes, which existed in the early universe, could have triggered such transitions, but their evaporation suggests they didn’t. This implies our universe is stable, though more discoveries could reveal new physics or particles.
