Human observation of dark energy may shorten the life span of the universe - [Stumbles via StumbleUpon]

Quantum Mechanics is just weird. It seems to defy all logic at times. This situation is no different. Basically the idea here is that observing dark matter in our universe may have shortened it's life span by way of the Quantum Zeno effect. What is that you ask? It describes the situation in which an unstable particle, if observed continuously, will never decay. I just really have a problem with the idea that observing something can change it.
