Either way, unless we can prove that our current understanding of physics is wrong, devastation at a universal scale could happen any time, anywhere.

This is a disingenuous way to phrase this. Our current understanding of physics leads us to hypothesize that our universe could be metastable, there is no proof that we actually exist in such a state.
