Apr 29, 2021 at 17:44 comment added Qami Link-only answers are generally frowned upon, so I'll just leave this here. It sounds like what you want. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_vacuum_decay (Especially see the "Existential Threat" section ;) )

Apr 29, 2021 at 16:46 comment added RBarryYoung What you want is a Tachyonic Field cascading collapse, which is one of the leading theories for what caused cosmic Inflation. Unfortunately, they tend to go from 0 to the speed of light pretty quickly. On the other hand, the Higgs field is a tachyonic field that condenses without causing a catastrophic cascade collapse, so maybe there’s something there.

Apr 29, 2021 at 16:29 comment added Zeiss Ikon We need to know more about your FTL technology to give a plausible way it could result in a universe now believed to be either open or flat becoming closed (leading to eventual collapse). Alcubierre-related warp drive, wormholes, space-folding, hyperspace, subspace???
