The good news? It'll probably be tens of billions of years . The article quotes Fermilab's Joseph Lykken: "[T]he parameters for our universe, including the Higgs [and top quark's masses] suggest that we're just at the edge of stability, in a "metastable" state. Physicists have been contemplating such a possibility for more than 30 years. Back in 1982, physicists Michael Turner and Frank Wilczek wrote in Nature that "without warning, a bubble of true vacuum could nucleate somewhere in the universe and move outwards..."

繪圖顯示，宇宙是否穩定，還是只是長壽泡沫，這要依希子與頂夸克的質量而定。直至2012年為止，從兆電子伏特加速器與大型強子對撞機實驗數據得到的2σ橢圓，仍舊允許這兩種可能結局。
曾經在大型正負電子對撞機立下無數汗馬功勞的的一台老式射頻腔（RF cavity），現正展覽於CERN的小宇宙科學館（Microcosm）。

拍攝於2006年11月，正在建造中的外表油漆了橘色條紋圖案的ATLAS环状磁鐵系統是由一系列正八邊形內金屬架與外金屬架共同鞏固與支撐。
在常態分佈中，深藍區域是距平均值小於一個標準差之內的數值範圍，此範圍所佔比率為全部數值之68.2%；兩個標準差之內（深藍，藍）的比率合起來為95.4%；三個標準差之內（深藍，藍，淺藍）的比率合起來為99.7%。
