You guys seem to have a good time.
At breakfast time, I would read and study the back of the cereal box - I’ll have to work through some of your other interviews. 😏👍😏

Cant recall I heard the term _vacuum decay_ before. Is this a reference to the a change (drop) of energy level in the Higg's field?
_Edit: oh answered itself, it was the turn off of the Higg's field, confirmed at __4:43__._
