Original Message -This is based on strange way quantum states are affected when observed
-In Schrödinger's cat experiment, a cat in a box, whose fate is decided by subatomic particles, is both alive and dead until someone looks at it
-According to two U.S. scientists, the same thing could happen to the universe, causing an irreversible shift in the universe's energy
-Some scientists think universe is overdue for a quantum energy change
-If shift occurs, it won't exceed the speed of light, so we’ll see it coming

Knowledge is power - or at least that’s what we’ve been led to believe.
But knowing too much could accidentally trigger a countdown to Armageddon, according to a two U.S. physicists.
The scientific theory suggests we may have nudged the universe closer to its death just by looking at it.
This is because they’ve dared to measure dark energy, the mysterious force that is driving galaxies apart.
The researchers, who first proposed their idea in 2007, argue that continuous observation of the universe might put it into a state that will destroy us all.
Their theory relates to a strange property of quantum physics which controls the behaviour of subatomic particles and possibly the whole universe.
Quantum systems can shift a particle’s energy state at random, for example, when a radioactive atom decays.
Some scientists think the universe is overdue for a quantum energy shift that would cause everything to cease to exist at any moment.
If a collapse occurs, it won't exceed the speed of light, so we’ll probably see it coming, according to Esther Inglis-Arkell at iO9....
