Abstract

<p>The standard model of particle physics predicts that the electroweak vacuum is not absolutely stable if there is no new physics below the Planck scale. It means that our universe is not persistent and it eventually decays into another vacuum. We review how we estimate the lifetime of the electroweak vacuum and show that it is much longer than the age of the universe. We also discuss electroweak baryogenesis and multiverse, which are closely related to the decay of a vacuum.</p>
