LHC Sabotaging Itself to Protect the Future

**TheOriginalGrumpySpy** · 01-18-2010, 10:33 PM

Sounds crazy, right? The mathematical theory put forth by the scientists claims that, if the LHC were able to create the Higgs boson particle (simulated image above) in the future and it had catastrophic consequences, the discovery would basically send out shockwaves into the past. The shockwaves would effectively seek to cripple the LHC and make the discovery impossible. While this theory would be dismissed out of hand coming from just about anyone else, it does warrant a second look when it comes from a scientist of Nielsen’s standing.

no, he's right. there was a post about this next thursday, which was actually a repost from one that was posted a year from now.

is so

All this sounds like the universe is thinking and doesn't want the LHC. If there were, for instance, a specific physical process forbidden which prevented this from working that could be understood by a paradox formed from having the production of a Higgs boson in the future, that's one thing. But if random shenanigans happen, like people getting arrested or completely random pieces of equipment malfunctioning, then it's hard to believe that it's because the universe is "consciously" preventing the Higgs boson from being detected...

It's just that it merely seems like the project is jinxed, just like the space telescope did at its inception as well. The problems with it were numerous and extremely demoralizing, but it was eventually functioning, and no one said it was because the universe didn't want us to use it.

TOGS, you're starting to sound like a more conventional internet. I'm disappointed.

unlike the lhc, i have a very bad memory

**coqauvin** · 01-19-2010, 04:19 PM

to be fair, apparently the lhc has a memory that goes backwards and forwards

Funny enough, when I initially read the article posted on the other post I was focused on a completely different idea within the article and missed the other.

Coq, help me.

me too actually...

time doesnt exist, moving between past and future is impossible because time is a human concept etc etc balls and weiners

**TheOriginalGrumpySpy** · 01-19-2010, 10:19 PM

Uhm, no.
