They left out vacuum decay which, for all we know, could be headed our way right now. It would travel at the speed of light so we'd get no warning whatsoever—one nanosecond everything would be fine, the next and the entire physics of the universe as we know it would be completely changed.
Vacuum decay, that sucks.
That's strange, when my vacuum decayed it didn't suck anymore so I had to buy a new one. On the other hand there are five fingers and a thumb, but Franklin figured out that in any physical system you’ll find that there’s an energy ground state that the system tries to approach. That's why as the fire brigade battled the blaze he decided his lightning rod would work better if he grounded it.
Did he ground the B+?Quote:

Only your false vacuum tubes.Quote:

Got to love vacuum.
