The Higgs field is not in a false vacuum state.
Vacuum energy is possibly at a false zero state.

But if you add energy to the vacuum so as to enable particles to 'pop' into existence throughout the universe, you have effectively raised the vacuum energy to levels not seen since the Electroweak era ( before the Higgs field was manifest ), and possibly even before the GUT era ( where Color/strong force separated from the Electroweak ).
The fall from these high vacuum energy levels, through symmetry breaks and intermediate false energy plateaus, is opposite to what you describe happening.

What is it you propose would happen, if not vacuum decay?

I will tell you as soon as you tell me where, and how, all the vacuum energy is coming from to allow filling the universe with massive particles. And don't say God, or magic !

I've been saying something similar: whether or not vacuum decay or anything else listed in my proposition would actually happen, depends on the nature and properties of the unforeseen influence.

Have I made myself out to be one that would?
