Q: "What would vacuum decay look like if it occurred far away and spread towards us?"
A: "If a patch of spacetime anywhere in the universe were to change state, the change would radiate from there to the rest of the universe as a sort of “shock front” that propagated at the speed of light. That means we wouldn’t see it coming. We wouldn’t see any effect from it at all, and when it washed over us, we’d simply cease to exist."
God: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
