For the anon's question, a hypothetical metastability event would be theoretically possible if our universe were part of a metastable (false) vacuum in the first place, an issue that was theoretical and far from resolved in 1982. So, that application of your probability manipulation is contingent upon the stability and energy state of our current universe. On the other hand, there are multiple alternative methods to destroying the universe in any way you see fit. There is the Quantum Zeno effect which simply states that observing and measuring particles changes the wave function (specifically the rate in which they decay) and one scientist postulated that observing dark energy would cause it to collapse along with the universe, and if there is even a slim chance, your probability manipulation could exponentially increase the likelihood of this occurence. Increase the expansion of the universe to extreme levels so everything from galaxies, stars, and planets down to molecules and atoms will be shredded which physicist christen the Big Rip.

To the anon that responded, why are you answering yourself?
