False vacuum decay is a theoretical concept in quantum field theory and cosmology that describes a scenario in which a system exists in a metastable state (false vacuum) that is not the lowest energy state (true vacuum). In this context, the "false vacuum" is a local minimum of energy, but there exists a lower energy state, the "true vacuum," that the system can potentially transition into.
