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.

Say in another one white holes are more common then black holes. the matter spit out of black holes does go faster then the speed of light since its antimatter and doesnt follow the same rules as matter. |

Changing our perception of the cosmos could end it if quantum theories are correct Already done that. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 39215848 The Earth used to be flat. Comets used to cause catastrophies. Miasmas used to cause disease. It was once impossible for man to fly. Still is, in another dimension / universe. Of course that's if you buy into the entire string theory concept. I think of it more of a vibrational spider-web. |

Changing our perception of the cosmos could end it if quantum theories are correct You should read "Quarantine" the scifi novel. It deals with this concept. Aliens enclose our solar system in a "bubble" to keep us from collapsing eigenstates of distant regions of developing space by looking at it. we were freezing it to our reality and devastating potential expansion or changes for other emerging consciousness. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43501459 Sounds like an interesting book! Thanks for the recommendation. I love sci fi. |
