Sounds for the moment quite mad, but Highfield brings a scientific thesis for this adventurous assertion. Therefore, cosmologists would have found out that the life of the universe could come rather at his end - only by the fact that they observe the mysterious ” dark energy “.
“Our very ability to study the heavens may have shortened the inferred lifetime of the cosmos … By observing the system, however, we may pick out one single ‘quantum state’, and therefore force the system to change its configuration … New Scientist reports a worrying new variant as the cosmologists claim that astronomers may have provided evidence that the universe may ultimately decay by observing dark energy, a mysterious anti gravity force which is thought to be speeding up the expansion of the cosmos.”
