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One could even almost say that we have a model for God, Dr Nielsen says in an unpublished essay.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.

Sounds like a sequel opportunity for Jean Claude Van Damm’s Time Cop...his own personal stimulus package.
Fox may just be getting around to this but it really is old news
The Paratime Police allow no competitors.
I’ve been at psychic events that did not work because somewhere, maybe in the room or somewhere in the universe, there was someone who did not believe in levitation/telepathy/telekinesis.
This is the same thing, but the disbeliever is in the future. Maybe in another galaxy!
“Guess that means it didnt produce a black hole that swallows the Earth.”
Unfortunately, just the opposite. The black hole was created and we fell into it on 01/20/2009.

Do I get paid in US$ or Federation Credits?
They stole my movie idea!
Maye the God Particles fall through a mini stargate and appear on the other side of the universe by a malevolent society that wants no one to succeed but them. If so we need to get Kurt Russell.
Hmmmm! What a temptation....

Sounds like a job for the magic negro.. Barry Half-White..
"Of every earthly plan, that be known to man, he is unconcerned."
God’s fault!
maybe just maybe there is no higgs boson and that there might be another way to explain mass?
We have to deal with the black A-hole swallowing our country up first...
The G-d particle? Is that the particle that causes the Big Bang?
no no no
Shouldn’t that be *black ho*?
