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“One could even almost say that we have a model for God,” Dr Nielsen says in an unpublished essay.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

"You know It doesn't like that name..."
Spend billions building a Supercollider to prove God doesn’t exist and then blame God when your billion Euro waste of money is a flop.
Did I get it right?
Good lord! He sounds like a Witch Doctor or an Alchemist!
The LHC is located within a convenient drive of the Netherlands, home of some of the world’s highest quality retail marijuana.
LOL

I put it down to ergotism from a bad batch of beer. You'd figure, though, that after eight failed tries these guys could come up with a Plan Nine.
Well...At least I resisted the temptation...{:-)
I take it you like Piper’s works. (Me too, I have every book he wrote.....)
Thanks...I was on the BSG ping list, until the series ended...I don’t remember who maintained that’n...was that you, Kevin?
There is an SGU thread somewhere too.
I know...couldn’t help it. LOL
