Published research by others is claiming that once a collapse of false vacuum begins it cannot be stopped, and propagates everywhere at light speed. In a large universe billions of years elapse before the collapse is finished. In the red limit it is arguable that part of the universe is far enough away from the any event source that it is moving near light and might never be compromised by the far away event.
Why Does Local Collapse Of False Vacuum Propagate To All The Universe?
Published opinions from other researchers have claimed that any local collapse becomes a total collapse. They didn't discuss local machines and vehicles.
In principle every physical process has limitations to prevent infinities. It is possible to construct a representation in which a collapsing false vacuum encounters a squeezed quantum field which stops propagation.
