Stuff like this is why even the little I know about quantum mechanics trips me out.
Drawing on the bizarre principles of quantum mechanics, he suggests that human beings — through the sheer act of observation — may have helped shape the laws of physics billions of years ago.
Not So Fast 
I don’t buy it. Now I am not expert in quantum, but I have taken classes so I understand that quantum is strange on many levels. But humans shaped physics billions of years ago? I’m not buying it. We may have helped determine if Schrödinger’s cat was dead or not, but that is as far as I am willing to go.
I’m not saying I buy it either, but the fact that it is even plausible for a physicist to posit is just plain weird.
