TL;DR Summary
Will every object in the universe evaporate?
According to a recent paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18521) (explained here: https://www.ru.nl/en/research/resea...verything-will-evaporate-not-only-black-holes) every massive object in the universe will evaporate in a similar way into Black Holes through Hawking radiation.

I've seen some critical comments (https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.07628) to the paper indicating that it's wrong in many aspects, but the authors do not seem convinced (https://inspirehep.net/literature/2690645) of these critics

Therefore, even if the authors are correct and the paper is right, would all objects in the universe evaporate? Would there be any way to avoid it? Would even individual massive particles "evaporate"?

The answer to this is the same as the answer to all the other threads you have posted asking the same basic question. All of this is speculation; we have no theory of quantum gravity and we have no expectation of getting any evidence about quantum aspects of gravity any time soon. So the question you are asking is unanswerable.

Thread closed.

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the Higgs mechanism and the concept of inertia. The Higgs field gives fundamental particles their rest mass, but it doesn't seem to directly explain why a massive object resists acceleration (inertia). My question is: How does the Standard Model account for inertia? Is it simply taken as a given property of mass, or is there a deeper connection to the vacuum structure? Furthermore, how does the Higgs mechanism relate to broader concepts like...
