Secret of time travel could be unlocked by the Large Hadron Collider, scientists claim

It's long been the stuff of science fiction fantasy but time travel could be a real possibility say scientists.

Furthermore, they believe the 17-mile-long Large Hadron Collider (LHC) based underground near Geneva holds the key.

The theory is that the world’s biggest atom smasher might be able to unleash the Higgs singlet - a particle that could appear before the collision that produced it.

The mind-boggling theory is that it will have entered from another dimension.

There are a few obstacles in the way, however.

And... how many billions in tax payer money are we wasting on this research nonsense? Government is a black hole. It sucks in every dollar around, whereupon, it disappears forever...

Yeah, well it's clear what will happen next. Omega will perform one too many risky experiments and end up zapping himself into a parallel universe composed entirely of antimatter. Rassilon will take over and create a new power source based on a captured black hole that will make time travel practical. He'll become the first president of the time lords. Pretty soon, the time lords will meddle too much with time and this will bring on a policy of non-intervention. What will follow will be a dark period of futility and decadence. This will provoke a backlash that eventually culminates in a time war with the Daleks, which will bring about an end of the time lords.

Pure madness if you ask me.

At least it might be entertaining though - in a camp sort of manner XD

If we don’t do it, someone else will. You don’t want the Russkies or Chinese going back to change history. Or God forbid, the Muslims.

Those records (August 1961) have already been obtained and attempts were made to inter them into court records. obama’s name was not on the records.

I heard time travel wouldn’t be happening until 3035 or so.

I’d say hi to all my pets that are gone.

Judging by the rust, that looks like a time machine to me...

They are letting in a wifebeater from another dimension? Always thought that contraption was a menace.

Anybody ever hear this concept?

If some stars we see in the sky from earth have actually burnt out millions of years ago. Then if you were at this instant the same distance from earth and able to look back with a strong telescope you would be seeing earth as it was millions of years ago.

A little closer, dinosaurs. Much closer, Jesus' day. Even closer our great-grandparents as children.

We really do live forever.

Maybe we could use this to go back to the last national election and elect someone other than nobama, the Destroyer?

“Well, Bobby, they’re keeping Mr. Science busy tonight. ‘Is there such a thing as time travel?’ Hmmm. Einstein said to visualize looking at the face of a clock on a tower as you move away from it in a train. Would the clock speed up or slow down or stay the same? Hmmm. The answer is ‘It Depends’. This is known as ‘Einstein’s Theory of Dependibility’. You know the Mr. Science Motto - ‘Doing Is Knowing’. So let’s walk backwards from our clock and see what happens. Ooomph! I told you to keep these cables out of the way cameraman Steve. ‘Is there such a thing as time travel?’ Once again, science triumphs over superstition. The answer is ‘No. You’ll trip over the cords’. Remember viewers, Mr. Science will be at the Harrison Street Mall this Saturday from noon to four demonstrating time travel. Or will I be there?”

I would NOT contact my grandfather to tell him I was coming to kill him — he might get away.

So let me see if I get this straight...

A particle appears in the past before the collision? Does it get in the way of the collision and the collision never occurs?

How do we know that the HIGGS Singlet wasn’t the experiment and the rest happened in the future?

Great scheme for more NSF funding...
