"falling world" or "fallen world"

Hi, I have a question about which one to use "falling world" or "fallen world".
Are there any differences in meaning? For example, science is after all just as tainted with human egoism as the rest of this fallen world. Can I change it to "falling world"?

Thanks a lot

Hi, Sure. It depends on what you mean. Do you mean the world has already fallen?

Hi,

Your reply is awesome. Thanks. "Falling world" should mean the world is falling while "fallen world" means the world has already fallen. Glad I asked. Thanks.
