Is it possible for the Higgs field to malfunction, reconfigure the laws of physics, and destroy the Earth? Physicist Brian Cox breaks down the terrifying theoretical possibility of total cosmic reconfiguration and reveals what will actually kill us first.

In this episode of StarTalk Cosmic Queries, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice welcome back Brian Cox to answer a fan's burning question about the "near destruction of Earth" after the Big Bang. They discuss the theoretical risks associated with the Higgs particle and whether such a disaster could happen in the future.


Brian Cox explains the science behind the ATLAS experiment at CERN and uses the famous "maple syrup" analogy to explain how particles acquire mass through the Higgs field. He reveals the truth about the stability of the universe, predicting that while the Higgs field could eventually change the laws of physics, the Sun becoming a Red Giant is a much more immediate threat to our survival.
