Dense dark matter stars can break vacuum stability and rewrite physics—no quantum tricks, just gravity.

Physicists have devised how dark matter could trigger the 'end of the world': dense stars made of it collapse and explode into bubbles of a new vacuum, altering the properties of space.

🎯 During false vacuum decay, fundamental constants like the electron mass could become different.

🎬 The idea of false vacuum decay inspired Stephen Baxter's novel "Vacuum Diagrams".
