Maybe you've seen this already, but if you haven't, here's a wonderfully terrifying thought:
https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/universe-fundamentally-unstable/
An interesting read, no doubt, but I still disagree with
The "threat" here would entail no negative emotions, no human (or other) suffering, just... nothing. Plus, it sounds like if the universe were indeed unstable/meta-stable, there's nothing we could change about it anyway. So of all the things I can worry about, I feel this deserves the least amount of worry.
Ice-9 for the fabric of reality.
