Hadron Collider Sabotaging Itself?


An essay written by Dennis Overbye explains that possibly
...The troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future. 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.

It seems bizarre, but entertainingly makes sense in a way. Maybe this "doomsday device" is being sabotaged by the future...or we are just running into a bunch of bad luck.
