The veracity of these news stories reminds me of Shrödinger's Cat -- dead yet alive until the hatch is opened and reality becomes frozen into existance.

Excerpts:

"OK, this sounds nuts. Things don't appear to behave like this on the everyday scale. But then we're always making observations. In fact the point of Schrödinger's cat was to show up the seeming absurdity of the situation. However, things really do work like this on small scales."

"There are other ways of looking at quantum mechanics such as the many worlds interpretation in which the entire universe splits in two."
