were they referring to CC.com here?

 

The possibility that we are living in a false vacuum has never

been a cheering one to contemplate. Vacuum decay is the ultimate

ecological catastrophe; in the new vacuum there are new constants of

nature; after vacuum decay, not only is life as we know it impossible,

so is chemistry as we know it. However, one could always draw stoic

comfort from the possibility that perhaps in the course of time the

new vacuum would sustain, if not life as we know it, at least some

structures capable of knowing joy. This possibility has now been

eliminated.

The second special case ... applies if we are now living in the

debris of a false vacuum ... This case presents us with less

interesting physics and with fewer occasions for rhetorical excess

than the preceding one.
