Is the Large Hadron Collider Already Doomed by Fate?

[7ru7h]

It couldn't be because this is a gigantic machine with thousands (millions?) of custom parts that have never been used for any other purpose, to perform theoretical physics on a level never attempted before. And that science is hard.

No, it's because God hates people trying to find their birthday presents early, and he's subtly sabotaging our Science.

Of course God is sabotaging science, because having never-before-done science be hard just wouldn't make any sense...

time travel is such bull~ face it if time travel is possible and it would be operational in the future.. some new hitler wannabe


would go back in time to our present to take over the earth before it gets good weapons >.> and since that isnt happening at the moment id say no one ever made a working time portal in the future ... good day sirs~

100th post..wooo~

Well, the way I understand it, you can't go back in time and do something to change the future (i.e. killing your grandfather), but you can go back and do something that will keep the future the same (i.e. saving him). So, no one could become a new Hitler, but for all we know, Hitler was killed by TimeAgents!

yes and we have a battle of little bighorn survivor mute using high tech weaponry watching over us..... >.>

tell me this if you can comeback to save some one how would that be saving the future as i see it if you come from a future that your grandfather died in , saving his life when you comeback would change your future possibly for the worse... self correcting time travel thing would just be pointless because it would change the time stream every single time it corrects something creating multiple realities of that incident.

Well, obviously your GP had to have lived up to the point in which your father was conceived, but what if you save him before that point? One of the theories they have is that by going into the past, you can't actually change anything because you already went back and did whatever you did to make the present come out the way it did, i.e. you save your GP from dying so that you could be born. I will admit it doesn't make sense, since where did the first you come from anyway, but it would explain how traveling back in time couldn't alter the future

I just went 88 miles per hour....and the passenger decided to say, 1.21 jiggwatts...as we got pulled over speeding...

Moral of the story...don't go 88 in a 55.

Also...back on topic. Physics is fun....if very confusing.

 

[tehbeard]

Great scott!
So i can go back and save granddad, but a particle can kill itself to stop its own existance?
and the timeline is ok with this?

Heh, Holger Bech has a lot of theories that only himself and perhaps 20 other people worldwide understand. This might just be one of them. It is not (as far as I understand it) entirely impossible that this is the reason but I doubt it since not much point in that direction but if it is the case then we have learned that at least one of his current theories are correct.
My guess is that it is some sort of string theory he bases this on.

Oh god, I think my head just exploded.

Please send help.

 

[zidine100]

I would like to give that particle a new name,

it now quantifys as the ninja timetraviling particle of DooOOooooOOoooOooom.

no seriously, it can go back in time, theoretically removing itself from being discorved, thats like the ultamite ninja.

Ehmmm sorry about that.

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

What are they smoking and where can I get some?!

 

[inglioti]

sort of annoying how they pull out "model from God" to explain the yet-unexplainable. a minor gripe i'm sure but it seems very theist of them, when, as highly distinguished physicists, they should merely yearn for the next puzzle piece.

/gripe

 

[Jedamethis]

There must be a conspiracy somewhere!
My conspiracy hat is getting dusty...

So if this is true, it suggests that it's working in the future, but because it works in the future, it doesn't work now? Goddamn time travel paradoxes.

I have a friend who's (supposed to be) working at CERN on the LHC project as a physics grad student. Apparently, what happened to the LHC when they first started to fire it up was called a 'quench', and from what I remember is essentially a malfunction of the cooling system.

As an engineer, it seems much more likely that said incident was caused by an unexpected mechanical or control system failure rather than anything having to do with the physics being studied. If the Higg's Boson was really going to 'commit suicide' to keep itself from being created, wouldn't the proton being collided simply loose all its mass (because its Higgs Bosons have all 'killed themselves') and go rocketing into the cosmos at infinite velocity?

Jesus Christ, what would that do?

Damn. Thinking about theoretical physics is like staring at the sun.

 

[x434343]

I heard a theory that the LHC was sabotaging itself FROM THA FUTURE by sending back particles to muck with its workings.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

IF we manage to create a mode of time travel, we'll screw ourselves over in some extravagant way. But hey, it will inevitably happen (us being screwed over)...

 

[brabz]

When you travel back in time, don't do anything! Unless you were of course supposed to do it, in which case for the love of god don't not do it!

Got to love Futurama; great quote

Well, if the universe really is capable of sending particles back into the past to prevent something from occurring, we might as well harness the power of that. Technically the power we can get out of that will be slightly less than infinity because, after all, the universe will make absolutely positive enough energy exists to prevent something from occurring.

The code on this page is fun.

if (!(typeof worldHasEnded == "undefined")) {
document.write("YUP.");
} else {
document.write("NOPE.");
