57. Quantum Theory says that
we change things by looking at them on the QUANTUM SCALE, just like quantum mechanical effects only occur at the quantum scale. Scientists don't fight over the correctness of quantum theory (because one can use it to calculate values that are amazingly close to what experiments show), they just fight about what each mathematical property they see means physically.

It says nothing about human beings changing the age of the universe by looking at it through telescopes, that sounds like the same kind of new age fallacy that makes people think homeopathy is still a good idea.
