That is not what I was doing I was just trying to understand the comment Below. So if I understand right nothing what we think is right may actually be right. I don’t get where data changes it since we have data on Betelgeuse. one of the most important (and hardest) lessons to learn in science is that "we don't know" is a valid answer. And often it is the only, or the best, answer we have. All other answers have a level of uncertainty associated with them, so we rarely (if ever) know things for sure. so we are basically guessing on all we think we know in science and physics

I don’t understand what you mean by measurements, so that means that everything we think we know about any science or physics is just a guess? we are not sure betelguese will not go supernova for a while still, and we are guessing our sun will not explode for millions of years and we are guess vacuum decay will not happen anytime soon. Because there is no data telling us otherwise

What’s different between betelguese and vacuum decay it’s all guessing with no real data? as you said it’s guess work

What do mean about data and guessing since science is more guessing that being sure?

So that also means all the scoentific information about anything is just a guess, betelguese, black holes, our sun and vacuum decay?

So still dimming?

So it’s brightening again

I don’t know when it was constantly dimming I thought maybe but now since it brightens and Dims I think it may be following pattern now if I am judging the graphs right then the past few days or so it dims then brightens right ?

Sorry what I meant was if that was best outcome what was worst outcome

Not sure what you mean about best outcome?

I thought it can go supernova? also when you say brightness and Simms does that mean it’s going back and forth now?

Does anyone have any current updates on Betelgeuse? i notice different articles say different things some say dimming stopped, some say still going and some say it seems to be a little brighter? https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2020/02/17/betelgeuse-has-finally-stopped-dimming-says-astronomer/#397113b67945 The star has been nearly steady in brightness now over the last 10 days,” said Guinan. We could be at minimum brightness now and very soon the star will slowly brighten if it follows its normal 420 to 430 period of pulsation, says Guinan. Or when the star periodically changes its brightness, he says. These periodicities are seen in observations of Betelgeuse as far back to the 1930s, says Guinan. But these most recent dips in the star’s brightness have been profound, he says.

What is not real i am just asking for the truth

Can a change in the fine-structure constant could lead to vacuum decay? If the fine structure changes, then it's not actually a constant. If photons lose energy with expansion, then they are subject to time delays. What you say is possible, whether it is actually real is another matter for a deeper discussion. So it is possible then in our lifetime this can cause vacuum decay? Edited by Timboo, Today, 03:45 PM.

If the dead galaxy that was found not long ago was caused by a change in the fine structure constant then vacuum decay could be on its way? Edited by Timboo, Today, 04:07 PM. Timboo, on 18 Feb 2020 - 10:38 AM, said: Yes, but the decay would be a quantum leap from one configuration to another. Whether it is reversible is another issue. Timboo, on 18 Feb 2020 - 10:58 AM, said: Maybe, but it would also mean that acceleration of galaxies in distant sources tell us about the expansion in the past, so it may be that we can only trust the local acceleration of galaxies. Dubbelosix, on 18 Feb 2020 - 2:38 PM, said: I am not sure what you mean Dubbelosix, on 18 Feb 2020 - 2:37 PM, said: So you also believe vacuum decay will happen soon Maybe, maybe not. If the universe is actually decelerating, then it will reach a new phase. But the scales will be different.

I can post the contents if you’d like also my questions on only on the comments made that I posted?

It was an explanation given to me by a scientist I asked weeks ago on a forum and they finally responded There comment are way different than here?

So I was asking the other day about fine constant structure and vacuum decay and got some answers. What I found goes against what I was told here, why? i have been looking more into this and found some more information. If the fine structure changes, then it's not actually a constant. If photons lose energy with expansion, then they are subject to time delays. So what I said for vacuum decay is possible the decay would be a quantum leap from one configuration to another. Whether it is reversible is another issue. it would also mean that acceleration of galaxies in distant sources tell us about the expansion in the past, so it may be that we can only trust the local acceleration of galaxies. If the universe is actually decelerating, then it will reach a new phase. But the scales will be different.

Here is an interesting thought, what if the bootes void is really the product of vacuum decay or collapse? and these voids we are seeing are product of the Higgs field dropping? had this ever been thought Or discussed?

This was fixed I think spellcheck had set it that way. Sorry didn’t realize it

So in my betelguese post I added the article and paragraph and it was still locked?

WoW thank you

I am asking questions and trying understand things, if you want to insult my questions then go ahead or just ignore me. Many people here actually answer things I ask. I may not understand right away and ask additional questions. Sorry I am working on getting better but need the opportunity to. but some people here find the need to just insult no matter what I say or ask. If I offended you in any way to deserve this i apologize it was not my intent and also I never really had the chance to get anything from my mom, thank you

So is you plan to just keep insulting me

Thank you I am confused with these comments Also, it's likely it won't explode either way for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. In the what-keeps-me-up-at-night category, this object ranks pretty low. That dumb thing I said to a celebrity I met once rates way higher on that list, if that makes you feel better. I'm actually quite happy this system has been found. If it's dangerous I'd rather know about it than not know. And since it probably isn't dangerous, that just leaves it being one of the most incredible, over-the-top, fascinating and gorgeous objects in the sky.

Sorry the article I read said biggest events since big bang
