Hello, I'm Denisarona. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nothing comes from nothing, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Denisarona (talk) 12:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. As I am not an expert on the False vacuum, it might be better to contact an editor like User:Trodemaster. Regards Denisarona (talk) 12:32, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi: I looked at the material that was deleted and really have no opinion on it. The philosopher's "nothing" has little to do with the physicist's "vacuum" which is just technical jargon for (what is usually) the lowest energy state in any quantum field theory --- not necessarily the theory of our universe. More seriously, what content on the "false vacuum" page needs better citations? Can you be specific? BTW it's best to set up an account with username rather than do stuff using only your IP number. Cheers, and welcome to Wikipedia Trodemaster (talk) 13:33, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

I don't know who added those early sections to the "false vacuum" pages. It was probably in reponse to a request for a non-technical introduction. All the claims made in these introductory paragraphs are expanded on, and properly cited, in the later sections. I think it was Paul Frampton who made earliest claim that the vacuum of our own universe could be disasterouly unstable if the Higgs mass was in the right range. His papers are all cited.
