a physicist, Hugh Everett, I think, did a paper treating the macro universe in quantum mechanical fashion, kicking off a dazzling array of science fiction stories concerning parallel universes.
The trick that he allowed for, that these "science writers" miss, is that "mankind" must also follow the same logic. Mankind and our observations also must be quantum functions, just as would be the stuff we are observing.

So, if we are quantum functions, doing what quantum functions do, observing other q-functions, there can be nothing special about our relationship to dark energy, dark matter, or anything else in the universe.

There ain't nobody here but all us quantum functions!

Thus the balance is restored and there is no problem.
