Hadron collider sabotaging itself from the future ?

Two distinguished physicists have suggested that the particle the Large Hadron Collider is attempting to create could at some point in the future be rippling backwards in time to sabotage its own creation.

Explosions, scientists arrested for alleged terrorism, mysterious breakdowns — recently Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun to look like the world’s most ill-fated experiment.

If his theory is true, wouldn't that mean that the Higgs boson particle is sentient?

Maybe, or theres a god thats commandeering the particle so we don't become gods ourselves.

If they really want to scare everyone they should just wait until December 23, 2012 to try to restart the machine.

Maybe it is like I said earlier, due to [u]Quantum suicide and immortality[/u] So it will just keep on failing somehow because everytime it is successfully turned on, we all die. So the other possibility where we dont die lives on, and that just happens to be us. Read more about it . Well, it is a interesting theory anyways, if we live in a multiverse, then it might be true.

Unbelievable, but still an interesting read. I like how there are many people bashing it because of the "grandfather theory". Well, yeah. But that's assuming time is only linear.

No, not at all. As I posted in the other thread on the subject, the argument is this: A universe with few Higgs bosons is more probable than one with many. What are the implications of this? It means that if you start with many parallel universes that all begin to construct an LHC simultaneously, only a small number of them will actually succeed and detect a Higgs boson. The rest, for some reason or another (equipment failure, design failure, funding cuts, war), will not. It's really not so crazy. Unfortunately there's just no way to really falsify the idea. If we do succeed then... [More]
