I aks you if this reasoning has a base in what we know of universe. There are many articles about so called "vacuum metastability event". As I understand this happens (can happen) with an enormous low probability in every place of the universe. A bubble is produced that then expands with speed of light 'eating' all matter without this matter knowing what is about to happen. (Because we can't have any data in advance from phenomena that are coming towards us with c).
And I understand it like this: Probability of such event can be attribute of the space itself, like every Planck frame has a very tiny probability of going in different vacuum state like in radioactive decay but here is a difference that it once changes has the ability to 'ignite' or 'infect' its neighbors and propagate indefinitely. Or it may be some rare event than could happen only a few times in the history of universe like very energetic collision of particles.
But here is a key thing : universe is VAST. Even very tiny probability on universe volumes becomes certainty. So maybe we live in a universe where some number of this bubbles has been created and are coming towards us. So universe (if we could see faster than light) looks like a growing swiss cheese with bubbles constantly created and growing). And we are simply luck to be in place not yet engulfed by it. An if we were able to get some faster than light information (tachyons ?) we could pinpoint our (that is in our frame, the Earth... of course destroying of whole Solar System would take hours of course) demise to a certain definite time in the future like 1 242 137 331 years + days + seconds.
