ysabetwordsmithYes, it's possible for a bubble of nothing to eat the universe.
More closely, the universe is a lot like foam already, and the bubbles in foam eventually pop. This isn't quite the same as nothing, but can resemble it. From a subjective view, they would be the same -- if you're in the dissolving universe, what happens after it dissolves you is moot. But from an objective perspective, the foam will reform as soon as it pours over the next waterfall. You kind of need that long view.
