Re 'Armageddon' warning ...etc.., this referred to something called 'quantum systems ',we're getting in really deep now,a quote from the article by John von Radowitz...''Quantum systems can shift their energy state at random , as occurs when a radioactive atom decays.Generally,the probility of an energy shift occurring increases as time passes.
But if a system lasts long enough without one , a point is reached where the chances of it happening plummet dramatically.''
The article seems to suggest that by the very fact of astromomers poking around in the cosmos they '' may inadvertently have nudged the cosmos into a more dangerous state ''
Then he refers to something called ,''Schrodinger's cat thought experiment (please stay with me ),in which ''a cat in a box whose fate is decided by subatomic particles is both alive and dead until someone lifts the lid and observes it . Only then is the cat discovered to be either "alive " or "dead".''
According to the ''quantum Zeno effect'' whenever we observe or measure something at the quantum level we set its decay clock back to zero .
"Incredible as it seems , our detection of the dark energy may have reduced the life expectancy of the universe ".
How's that....and we were wondering and worrying about a little thing like Global Warming...
