I only glanced at the article briefly so I'm not sure if it says this or
not.   The Five Ages of the Universe (Adams & Laughlin) doesn't say much
about the vacuum decay but its time scale for how long the Universe will
last is *much*, **much** longer than the current age of the Universe.  I'd
vote that they should spend a few semesters at the"Anders School of Magic"
and then see what kind of conclusions they would offer.
