Do we create the world just by looking at it?

A team of physicists in Vienna has devised experiments that may answer one of the enduring riddles of science: Do we create the world just by looking at it?
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the first paragraph:
To enter the somewhat formidable Neo-Renaissance building at Boltzmanngasse 3 in Vienna, you must pass through a small door sawed from the original cathedrallike entrance. When I first visited this past March, it was chilly and overcast in the late afternoon. Atop several tall stories of scaffolding there were two men who would hardly have been visible from the street were it not for their sunrise-orange jumpsuits. As I was about to pass through the nested entrance, I heard a sudden rush of wind and felt a mist of winter drizzle. I glanced up. The veiled workers were power-washing away the building’s façade, down to the century-old brick underneath.
No, it doesn't get better from there.
The author's name is apparently Joshua Roebke. WTF, Joshua? Do all science reporters secretly desire to start their opuses with "It was a dark and stormy night", or is it just you? Tell me: do you have a novel stashed in your drawer looking for a publisher? I think you'd better work on making your articles say something, Joshua, because this one didn't actually say a fucking thing. At least that's what I got from a skim, because I couldn't endure reading all your prose in detail.
Oh, and Joshua, read up on the many-worlds interpretation of QM.
