Shortening the life of the universe

Agosto tells Ottavio that if he keeps looking at black holes he could nudge the universe into extinction

Agosto: That’s according to a pair of cosmologists Krauss and Dent who say that if we as much as observe decaying dark matter we may be shortening the life of the universe.

Ottavio: Like that old man who rescued an injured crane and in return the crane returned as a woman who wove beautiful cloth for him to sell at the market?

Agosto: And she said “Don’t look in the room while I am weaving,” and he looked in and she flew away.

Ottavio: Curiosity killed the crane. And Shrodinger’s cat?
