LHC Is "Sabotaging Itself" In A Time-Loop; Higgs Boson Is "Abhorrent to Nature"

Although it's more like something you'd read in the Weekly World News, this actually comes from the Sunday Times (a very mainstream newspaper, for those who don't know), and the idea comes from scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto.

Makes for an interesting read, at any rate...

    Can't be being sabotaged from the future, unless we already have or are on the verge of having time travel technology.

    In order for people from the future to want to stop it, that means it would have had to have worked in the original timeline. That is, the LHC was flipped on and created a black hole or something, resulting in the destruction of Earth.

    I doubt it would be instantaneous. It could be weeks or months before the Earth was completely sucked in and destroyed. Of course, the process would probably make Earth uninhabitable before it was fully pulled in. At any rate, there would be only a short window of opportunity for survivors to do something about it. That means, they would have to very quickly develop a means of time travel or it would mean someone already possesses it.

    It would have to be a major disaster too, something threatening all of Earth. If it were regional, there would be less of an impetus to correct things through time travel because of all the other lives that would be affected. So, really, time travel would likely only be proposed as a solution if it was mankind's last hope.

    Now then if it is not people from the future, but some unseen force changing things from the future, that seems less probable. In order for that to happen, the timeline has to split. We'd have the original timeline where the LHC worked and then, at some point in the future, ripples went back in time to prevent it from working, thus creating a second timeline where it didn't work. If the universe is splitting each time the LHC fails, then there should be some hints or evidence that such is happening, like firing a photon at a split, where it goes through one but leaves a trail as though it went through the other as well. To my knowledge, we've not seen something comparable with the LHC.

    In all likelihood, it's not working because something isn't being done right or because conditions aren't favorable for the existence of a Higgs Boson particle.

    Doesn't necessarily have to destroy the earth. It might reveal a secret which allows a power so absolute to the owners that they make life an absolute nightmare for people. If that happened there would be those who would look for a way to stop the machine.

    We also might find out that gravity, mass, space, and time are also linked in a way that whatever this machine does would cause a time loop - that big bang that they are trying to create might result in a cyclical universe so when they get to the critical millionth of a second they are searching for, they create a loop that encompasses either all of or part of the 4 forces and sends it in a circle or a spiral.

    All of the great religions purport that there are just some things we can't know without reprisal. This particle would answer many questions that it may not have been meant for us to know........for a very good reason. However, being built with unlimited curiosity, we will still look for answers. We have proven to be a bit "abhorrent to natuere" ourselves.
