The more you seek evidence or counter-evidence of this natural disaster, the more likely it is to happen... In effect, possibly the perfect, most efficient possible self-fulfilling prophecy of doom.

shouldn't the UN be gathering scientists and putting out a paper on this and regulating people?

almost thought it said cosmatoligist that would make almost as much sense
 a bunch of hair dressers got together today and figured out the world is going to end
by noon the next day all the women told there men  and panic arose
by the third day rationing began
months later it was learned that the hair dressers saved the world from destruction.

What time does The Twilight Zone come on nowadays?

If simply observing an event alters that event, as suggested here and in quantum theory, then perhaps we should consider the attitude or state of mind of the observer. If simply looking has an affect would not the intent of the looker also? Better thnk happy thoughts.

Since every human ever born or yet to be born will die eventually.... What's the big deal? Bring on the  global climate change, the world killing comet, the 27 mile high tsunami. This species has gotten to wimpy to live. We're too busy living in fear about what might happen to enjoy the life we have.

I think we need to glue our eyes shut and start a global "vision credit" economy.  You can only look at the universe if you offset it by giving me some money.  I'll give some of the money to someone else in exchange for their promise to not look at the universe, and keep the rest in a trust fund (managed by me for a small fee of course) dedicated to forcing everyone to not look at stuff.

When it's time to give me my nobel prize, don't come looking for me.  I'll find you because although nobody else is allowed to look around, it's ok for me to look around with big binoculars because it's for a greater cause.  I'll thank you very much for ignoring my big excessively-looking telescope too, because I'm not one of the little people and carbo...er... vision credits must be spent by me to save the world.

The ostrich generation?

Eagl, having so many of the planet's eyeballs point at money can't be good for your plan

[Pooh21]

Surely other Alien species have done this before? I mean the universe is  not gonna end just cause we peered up her skirt.

Lazs & co:
I feel sure that if it was a pre-medieval day, and you were king, - a scolar comes buy and asks for money for food, so he can complete a flood table, which he offers to hand over to you.
You would decline, and say that if there was any profit in this, the local blacksmith corporation would have taken care of it

I'd prefer the "scolar" help out with the local dictionary project.  But that's just me.
