Description:

The discovery of the Higgs a decade ago came with a dark side - the Higgs mass indicated that our vacuum might not be stable! We will first explain why at first this was not thought to be a problem, before reviewing how primordial black holes could change the picture radically by acting as seeds for vacuum decay. We will finish by discussing ideas on testing these, and other, gravitational/QFT phenomena in the lab.
