Or some kind of instant teleportation, where the neutrinos simply skip a part of space rather than move through it.

The general idea of matter is that it is anything that has mass and occupies volume. Humans have mass, so therefore we are made of matter, and matter exists. Water has mass and occupies a volume, and therefore is made of matter and so matter exists.And matter was here before us, so how can consciousness create matter.
And how is it not just travelling faster than light and reaching earth before it?

Quantum physics states the universe only comes together when someone observes it. There is an infinite super position of potentialities all existing at once and it is only when a conscious being observes one potential that it takes shape and matter and everything else in that moment of measurement is formed.
Example: Scientists put a cute little kitten in a box that released fatal vapors at a random time no one new of. So how do you know without opening the box if the cat is dead or alive. They concluded that the cat is both dead and alive at the same time until somebody opens the box and chooses through observing which potentiality comes to fruition.

That's a gross misinterpretation of Schrödinger's Cats. It is a thought experiment; it does not set out to prove(nor does it prove) that the cat is both dead and alive at the same time in actuality.
To elaborate. Everyone is familiar with the concept of alternative timelines? For example, if I decide to go get my hair cut but then I cancel the appointment there exists in theory an alternative timeline where I did indeed get my hair cut. The same thing applies to Schrödinger's Cat
Schrödinger proposed that the cat is both dead and alive because it splits into two timelines, or "worlds". One where it is dead, another where it is alive. Yet when we open the box we find out if the cat is definitely dead or alive because we have "branched off" with the cat's timeline. Now we're getting really sci-fi here, and we could go deeper into stuff like Quantum Immortality.
Sci-fi writes love quantum immortality.

Plainly and oversimplified: There are other dimensions of you doing just fine.

Pretty much, yes. For each Mr. Whiskers that theoretically dies in the box, countless others Mr. Whiskers will live in other "worlds". There is even one Mr. Whiskers who will never ever die, no matter how many times the experiment is performed because he lives in a "world" were the poison never goes off.
There is a spoof of The Twilight Zone in the game Alan Wake where a Professor demonstrates this for his class. He has a machine which ties himself to the "world" were the gun he is pointing at himself never goes off. So even though the gun is fully loaded and he repeadetly pulls the trigger it never fires.
That is, until one of his students accidentally unplugs the machine from the wall socket and he shoots his face off. He should've tied himself to the "world" where the plug stayed in. Sucker.

Speaking of Science, has anyone read about the Double Slit experiment? Chances are the Universe is just effing with us, and in a few years it will change the rules on us and make light dark, liquid will be solid, TV will be radio and humans will be fish.
Double slut experiment? Of course! ...Oh.
Anyway, according the the weird world of quantum physics, such radical changes could happen at any time. Like, uhm, now. Or now. Or before you read my post. The chance is just ridiculously small.
The double slit experiment is another good one.
It's marvelous how perfect and ordered existance is considering all we've discovered.

Is that the one where they fired electrons at a wall with two slits, then when a third one was made they didn't go through it for some reason? Or something like that.

Almost correct:
They fired electrons through two slits, but they came out in a extremely scattered pattern instead of just two bars of electrons, they thought maybe they were bouncing off each other so they shot them one at a time, but they still did the same thing, then they basically put a camera next to the path in order to watch them and see what was happening, then the electrons only made the two bars, then when they stopped observing it, they went back to the scattered pattern.
Scattered pattern = Pattern that you would get from waves, for clarification. That's why they concluded that electrons can either behave as particles or as waves.
Well, that is considering if this is all existence as we know it. In that case, it's pretty well managed. But what if there truly is an infinite number of universes? With an infinite number of possibilities? Then it would be inevitable to have quite a number of universes in which the constants are just right. It would also be inevitable that there are universes in which even though the constants are different, it still works properly.
