Understand

So far, the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have shown no sign of new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Assuming the Standard Model is correct at presently available energies, we can accurately extrapolate the theory to higher energies in order to verify its validity.
Here we report the results of new high precision calculations which show that absolute stability of the Higgs vacuum state is now excluded.
Combining these new results with the recent observation of primordial gravitational waves by the BICEP Collaboration, we find that the Higgs vacuum state would have quickly decayed during cosmic inflation, leading to a catastrophic collapse of the universe into a black hole.
