Big Bang Machine Destroys Itself from the Future?

I was going to write this post, but then I thought about it for a minute.

Since I know I am going to sit here and write it, then it stands to reason that in the future, this post will already be done. Therefore, if I wait long enough, the post will already be done. See? Here it is now…

You how that Large Hadron Collider has been running into lots of bad luck lately? Well, some are beginning to speculate that it may not be “luck” that’s to blame.

Two physicists now speculate that the reason the Large Hadron Collider keeps running into trouble is due to the fact that the LHC’s quest to discover the Higgs boson (a theorized particle that scientists believe is what gives objects mass) is causing problems from the future to keep itself from being discovered.

“A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.”

The scary part is…this might actually be happening!

Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, Japan, have actually covered this theory in great detail in a series of papers with titles such as “Test of Effect From Future in Large Hadron Collider: a Proposal” and “Search for Future Influence From LHC,” which they’ve posted on the physics website arXiv.org within the past 18 months.

“It must be our prediction that all Higgs producing machines shall have bad luck,” Dr. Nielsen wrote in an e-mail message. In another unpublished writing, Dr. Nielson went so far as to say, “Well, one could even almost say that we have a model for God.” It is their thinking, he continues, “that He rather hates Higgs particles, and attempts to avoid them.”

This negative influence from our future, they say, could explain why the American version of the project, the United States Superconducting Supercollider, which was also created to find the Higgs, was canceled back in 1993 after billions and billions of dollars had already been spent.
