Large Hadron Collider 'Being Sabotaged from the Future' (Fail to save the world)
Fox News ^ | October 18th, 2009

Posted on 10/19/2009 1:49:38 PM PDT by TaraP

Scientists claim the giant atom-smashing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being jinxed from the future to save the world.

In a bizarre sci-fi theory, Danish physicist Dr Holger Bech Nielsen and Dr Masao Ninomiya from Japan claim nature is trying to prevent the LHC from finding the elusive Higgs boson. Called the "God particle," the theoretical boson could explain the origins of mass in the universe — if physicists can find the darn thing.

The scientists say their math proves nature will "ripple backward through time" to stop the LHC before it can create the God particle, like a time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.

“One could even almost say that we have a model for God,” Dr Nielsen says in an unpublished essay. “He rather hates Higgs particles, and attempts to avoid them.”

"While it is a paradox to go back in time and kill your grandfather, physicists agree there is no paradox if you go back in time and save him from being hit by a bus," Dannis Overbye wrote in the New York Times.

Guess that means it didn’t produce a black hole that swallows the Earth. Least not yet.

Maybe it is that pakistani national who works at the LHC sabotaging it...

At the high end of physics, this is the equivalent of "my dog ate my homework"

Great excuse for poor design/shoddy workmanship.

Getting a little metaphysical here.

I want their jobs...they sound like fun!

Who wants to crunch numbers and write sci-fi with me?!?

Kewl....I saw that on the ScFi channel a month ago...or maybe it was the Twilight Zone.

That is the most unscientific explanation of failure I have ever heard.

We have a weekly scifi thread here, usually on Saturdays.

That seems more like “my homework ate my dog... 3 weeks from now.”

Funny!

They are trying to use every excuse except the existence of God to explain why they can’t produce their “God particle”.

How long before they claim it’s “Bush’s fault”?!?

Math can’t prove that anything will do anything. Some scientists have actually lost their minds by poring over their equations too much.
