trailThe Higgs quartic coupling runs negative near 10^10 to 10^11 GeV for central Standard Model parameters.
The Standard Model electroweak vacuum is metastable rather than absolutely stable.
No new physics modifies the Standard Model below the Higgs potential instability scale.
Direct measurements determine the top-quark mass near 172.5 GeV with uncertainty below 0.5 GeV
atomic
Absolute electroweak vacuum stability requires a top-quark pole mass below about 171 GeV
The Standard Model remains valid with no new physics up to the Planck scale
The measured Higgs boson mass is approximately 125 GeV
