Assume all this is possible - would it also be possible for a group to decide that time travel is too socially destabilizing and travel back in time to destroy the machine?

But the Russians argue that when the energies of the LHC are concentrated into a subatomic particle - a trillionth the size of a mosquito - they can do strange things to the fabric of the universe, which is a blend of space and time that scientists called spacetime.

But whatif that subatomic particle is contained inside a slice of bologna?

Would it ba called bolognaspace?

I’ll give them the answer now. There is no “time travel” and there will never be, and there never was. It is impossible. never happen. Waste of money and energy.
It’s about causality. We live in a world where one event causes another. The caused event comes after the causing event. Can’t be any other way.

1.21 gigawatts of electricity: Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd in the De Lorean time machine from Back to the Future

How believable could this be - everyone knows you need 1.21 jigawatts...

Time travellers from the future 'could be here in weeks'

Old news.

If their premise is true about how time travel is only possible back to the point of creation of the first time machine, why would anybody want to open that can of worms? All you’ll have is people from the future coming back to exploit their unique knowledge of events to come.

One would seem to have to expand the entire universe to travel to the future, or to go back in time, to contract it.

Barring some quantum aspect - where even that would seem inconceivable, as the universe is a quantum system after all - convince me that this is possible.

The debut in early summer could provide a landmark because travelling into the past is only possible - if it is possible at all - as far back as the point of creation of the first time machine.

Well, so says The Telegraph, but I would still like confirmation from an unassailable authority like AP or Reuters. Or Dan Rather.
