False vacuum decay fucks me up due to the idea that it could happen at any point at any moment.

Could already be happening? I could be totally misremembering but doesn’t it still progress at the speed of causality??? Though if so that would mean it might never catch up to some of the expansion? On the other hand … some theorise that we are already in a process of false vacuum decay - that’s what cosmic inflation is?
