New Scientist posted this article on the concept of "flexi-laws" over a year ago, but it's the picture in the article that amazes me:
Don't you get it, sheeple? We have been duped! This experiment has changed something in the past, thereby breaking off a new timeline. We are not the original universe. We have created new timelines.
Matrix moment. There's only one thing that can help: xkcd. (Of course, not the original xkcd.
And now for the biggest shock: there is a very good chance that John Wheeler did the experiment one more time, and split off another timeline. However, in this timeline, he didn't do the experiment. So there is a good chance that there is another, more recent universe than ours.
We're obsolete.
More xkcd:
The last three panels are the really relevant ones.
So, I say to all: we are obsolete. Let's burn the world! (Or at least make me king.)

Woah. Mr. Wheeler, you have changed the world.
