The quest to observe the Higgs boson has certainly been plagued by its share of troubles, from the cancellation of the Superconducting Supercollider in 1993 to the Large Hadron Collider's streak of technical troubles. In fact, the projects have suffered such bad luck that Holger Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto wonder if it isn't bad luck at all, but future influences rippling back to sabotage them. In papers like "Test of Effect From Future in Large Hadron Collider: a Proposal" and "Search for Future Influence From LHC," they put forth the notion that observing the Higgs boson would be such an abhorrent event that the future is actually trying to prevent it from happening.

Wow. Vierotchka, that premis sounds like something out of Star Trek Enterprise. But after watching the Science channel's 4 part series documentary on Time ( Lifetime, Daytime, Earth time, Cosmic time)which Dr.Michio Kaku narrated, I'm not so sure it's so far fetched at all. On my part, I believe in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's theory of proof. He explained it through his alter ego Serlock Holmes. Paraphrased it goes something like: In discovering the truth to solve a mystery, when you have eliminated all other theories previously considered plausable that didn't account for all the elements in a case, then whatever theory remains which does account for all the elements, however implausable it might seem, must be the truth which solves it. Ok Jerry, put some more apple peals in the flux capacitor so we can rev the DeLorean up to 84 mph, cause we're going back to the future !

"No good wine is served before it's time," perhaps applies here. Based on our inability to take care of what we already have, maybe some things are not yet meant to be. The Hadron Collider may very well fall into this category due to what it could bring based on its success.

No, Tikbalang, actually what happened was they came back and changed the Future so other timelines would be spun off that live. We are still on schedule to die 12-21-2012. Sorry. Next!

What's the link PressCore man uh person? Einstein is dying from his own conclusions, trapped by his own statement => his "awareness" made a bomb, but he wanted peaceful energy that he couldn't figure out because of his "pre-existing awareness".
He must have been greatly saddened by his realization.
I was not shackled by carrying his awareness so I did design the peaceful energy he could not. It has been online for 4 years this coming November 10. Interestingly PressCore, I could add a little trick the exact opposite of what made the atom bomb work and my energy-producing "dry waterwheel" & "circular railgun" system will produce an anti-gravity (gravity overcoming actually) upward force.
So when the industrialists and whoever else is involved decided to stop my engine they also stop their own entry into real fast space travel. Checkmate.

@ Gravityman. I'm a man. One of Einstein's quotes that I've blogged explains his great sadness that his scientific discoveries were first used for destructive purposes. A man named Alfred Nobel expressed the same remorse when his invention of dynamite was also used for military purposes. Which is why he created the Nobel Peace Prize out of his financial gain. Both Nobel and Einstein were very advanced, ethical men of Peace. All the Einstein quotes I've blogged are consistent with that inoffensive purpose. Einstein mentioned he'd rather have his hands burned
rather than to have contributed to the A bomb, and added he'd preferred to have become a watch maker instead. His idea that a problem can't be solved with the same level of awareness that created it stems from
the notion that one's vision is enabled by mental brightness. In 0 light noone can progress safely very far or fast.That's all. It implies also that he realized his
intelligence level was limited by the light his brain generated. And that it would take a much higher IQ than his to fathom and correct the problems caused by the less intelligent, including even him. As for your reference to chess, it's off base. I've been a student of Journalism since there were wheat ears on Lincoln cents. Following a man as enlightened as Albert Einstein has taught me to be open minded. From open mindedness you get continuous renewal, not endgame. - 2 years ago

“Possiblility” of Time Travel Now Supported by Stephen Hawking, and Supported by Einstein’s Calculations
Because of new work done by theoretical physicists during the past five years, Steven Hawking (among others)–a previous skeptic of the possibility of time travel–now views it as “theoretically possible.”
According to Michio Kaku, specialist in Superstring Theory, Einstein wrote in his memoirs that he was disturbed by the fact that his own equations allowed for time travel. Then, in 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand mathemetician, found an interesting new solution to Einstein’s equations that showed a black hole not collapsing entirely under gravity, but instead, collapsing down to a spinning ring held open by centrifugal force. These wormholes apparently connect to both different regions of space and time, and would permit someone to pass through the ring into an alternate universe. So these holes could be used as time machines.
Right now there are two major problems preventing us from using these wormholes. Firstly, Michio Kaku says a time machine needs to have “fabulous amounts” of energy. It would have to harness the energy of a star, or its equivalent. Secondly, mathematicians and string theorists are as yet unable to determine the stability of wormholes, because we don’t know if they might fall apart before the traveler finished passing through them.
Read the PBS interview with Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics, and specialist in Superstring Theory, at the City University of New York, which contains short and clear explanations aimed at the layperson:

That's why you don't want to mess with us, and also a good reason not to refer to us as "you people". Some here get really upset when they hear that, and sometimes, there is talk of war.
And that was how they were BEFORE the asteroid went whizzing by last night about hmm, 20.25 hours ago to be precise, traveling at a knuckle-breaking speed over 18,000 mph. And they really hate it when the nun smacks their knuckles, boy do they get ticked off.

Your title must not have evoked a question in people's mind... because it comes right out and tells "the particle traveled through Time" so people seeing it must've felt like there wasn't any room for discussion left it had already been decided, so they kept moving through time to the next article.
Also, your picture was on the straight horizontal and lacked the definition & colors this post had. Several of my first attempts at posts also failed to evoke discussion. I guess the title ~being in the form of a question~ has to be oops the Decider, followed by second contact, the picture. Bing, Bang, Boom or No Boom, you chose to use "Time Travel" which is somewhat overworked already to a point most people have already decided it's either possible or impossible this article opened the subject with a different angle of attack sabotage from the Future. Very effective.
So effective in fact that while we were all here commenting no one noticed a rogue asteroid whizzed past Earth yesterday 10/16 coming inside the Moon's orbit, an extremely NEAR HIT TO PLANET DIRT the crack NASA Team only saw coming THURSDAY, too late to warn anybody they were about to die.
The same crack NASA team that fizzled a Moon impact plume stated it would miss us => http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33346941/ns/technology_and_science-space/

What ever the outcome is, the future is another frontiier that must be investigated and without the help of an ignorant religious public. Of course some scientists are willing to stir up skeptism and problems to cover up their inability to pewrceive or search for necessary answers. Even some biologists disbelieve the Darwin Theory of evolution when it is so obvious. Vicious animals are making it difficult for our species to change or morph from monkeys to interlligent humans. The earth is faced with myriad of problems; Earthquakes, Volcano's, Hurricanes, Tornado's, Tsunami's, forrest fires, floods, asteroids from outer space, war, humans killing each other. It is a chance we strive to overlook every day to stay alive. Thesse are not on our minds but they should be and science it trying to become informed so that people may rest easy and enjoy whatever is left on this earth. The future is there to be explored, so stop misusing it.

No one knows what will happen – even the simple scientists studying this!
It's like in the 1950's when NASA was ready to send man to the moon, but didn't know just what we would find. What did they do? They sent the dog Kojak first with video taped messages from earth stating our purpose a claiming peace. That way if space creatures felt threatened and had ray guns, science was only sacrificing one dog's life instead of a crew of humans and possible mankind itself.

This idea that the chances are low that there would be a a super-semetric partner to the higgs boson created is stupid.
There is simply no way to quantify that data. We have no clue what the risks actually are, because we've never done anything like this before.
What is comes down to is that scientists REALLY WANT to do this, and others think it's a bad idea.

Time does only travel in one direction, making time travel of the future impossible and travel to the past theoretically possible.
BUT, that doesn't mean that it is or has happened and it also leaves a very big question unanswered. Why would future energies or people want to stop the collider, what is so devastating about it and if observing the Higgs boson is so terrible then why are we doing so? Curiosity killed the physicist per se? - 2 years ago

Every time something about space exploration or science comes up people always say "What about the poor".
Why waste our abilities to explore the universe of which we are all a part of?
I don't mean to sound insensitive, but there will always be poor. We shouldn't let exploration and knowledge be held down by lower elements of society.
If anything, knowledge and exploration can be the key to lift society and improve the world.
There are plenty of people born poor that worked hard and have gone on to be scientists, engineers and astronauts.
Who knows, perhaps a method of clean, renewable energy will be discovered. That's significantly more likely outcome than all this gloom and doom junk.

Their guess on the time paradoxes make no sense. How could altering the past in a negative light be any different than altering it in a positive one? And what kind of future is this? As far as I know there are only three ways that it can fall into:
1) Back to the Future: You can go back in time and if you alter the past, it will change the future (be it greater than or equal to the change)
2) Terminator: When you go back in time and change the past, it will not effect your future, but it will create an alternate future (which there are an infinite amount).
3) Futurama: It is impossible to alter the past when you go back in time because you being there is part of the past.

But if it were a person, destroying the thing outright wouldn't be a good idea either, someone would build a bigger one.
Making them waste lots of money and time fixing mistakes will eventually frustrate them and cause them to stop, and potentially put off others in attempting to build one.

It could be that they are not trying to avoid a massive explosion, instead they somehow do not want us to discover time travel or parallel and new dimensions.The irony would be that after all these attempts the day when this is actually going to work is December 21st 2012 :)

Perhaps the LHC is not going to recreate a state similar to the big bang, but is going to create THE big bang itself. Maybe the point when they turn it on is the time when the universe begins/began and time is just one big loop. It can't happen yet, because it already has happened, and it happens at a very specific point in time. Maybe everything that is happening has happened again and again back into forever.

if it is resistance from the future, it is probably not intelligent. this could be part of the reaction to an impossible test that takes place in the far future and effects the past, long before the actual test occurs. in other words; the test can not take place because chance is effected by the test in the near future,to the past (our present), from the far future.

It's well known that I am not a religous man. However, besides human sabotage, what if this is god making sure that man does not harbor the same power of a god. Meaning, perhaps we have become so powerful as a race that in learning how the big bang happened, we fully realize dark mass and obtain the ability to create universes. And then some If we are created in god's image. perhaps god was merely humans from the past who created an LHC and learned how to create us? hahaha aponder on that bitches

If something isn't published, it means that it has retracted itself from the critique of the scientific community. No one's been able to look at his data to see if he made mistakes or has gaps in his research.
It's sort of like saying you've made the best film ever when you haven't released it yet. No one is just going to take your word for it, they need to see it.

@ S3th:
When I say published I mean published in an established scientific journal.
Also, I define "real science" as any theory that can be proven or disproven by experiment or mathmatical proof. (as a side note i don't concider "string theory" science for the same reason)

Oh, now you're willing to let a mathematical proof represent the "real" universe? In other words, a priori is just as good as a posteriori knowledge??
Ha sorry, I had to:)

Note: Oh shit, I wasn't reading. I thought that post was from saladin. Sorry. But I still think there are a handful of people, like saladin and myself, who would disagree with that definition of science.

There's definetly some flexibility on what can be defined as science. My point is blaming a series of unfortunate events on intervention from the future in an e-mail never falls under that definition.

I can't believe no one LOLed at S3's interpretation of "published". Come on guys, loosen up! This is the funniest thing I've heard all day!

To see such raw pure energy unharnessed could well be cataclysmic. Is fate then stepping in to keep that energy and perhaps even universal knowledge from being known? Or is it a higher power intervening? Or, is that pure energy the higher power so many seem to think does not exist? Would science and religion finally have to face just how similar they really are? Food for thought.

Science and religion are similar in that they are both a means to achieve "truth". However, the means by which they go about it is 100% different. Whereas science uses quantifiable reactions and data to explain an ever-changing understanding of the universe, religion keeps people confined to a set understanding of the universe.

The Bible vs Science eh? Well, the Bible says at Eccles. 1:4 "the earth abideth forever", which inspired or not still came from someone who lived a lot closer back than we'unz today, so he should have had a better focal point to know somethin' we don't. If correct then either God or some Law of Physics stopped the collider (barring just plain human error &/or sabotage).
This doesn't have to be a case of Either-Or it could be both. If God-Caused, the universe would certainly have an inertia to it that would sense something threatening its continued inertia, sensing an "outside force" within itself beginning to happen. An outside force also in the sense of a force building outside the equation running the inertia.
If not God-Caused the universe still has an overall inertia... that is so large an inertial force it would likely be squeezed into being itself a near-sentient entity in its intense sensitivity to anything out of the norm happening big enough to threaten it. Not to mention that a real God would have made a universe with a whole lotta automatic pilot.
I would lay money the Hadron Collider never works. It has both God and Science dictating its demise the moment after they hit the Start button. However, since both the Universe and God has now drawn a clear bead on it and knows exactly GPS coordinates where the thing is, I don't believe it's a real healthy idea to be the person who presses the button THE NEXT TIME.

I don't know what to think about this. Just why do we need a Large Hadron Collider for any way? Will it help heal the sick or feed the poor why are people so hell bent on destroying the earth. Am I just paranoid or is this not just another weapon of mass distrucion? Maybe not in it's present form but just why are they doing what they are doing. I just don't under stand what it does or what it will be for. I think it might just be a toy for some to tinker with till they retire.

Initially, the idea was to recreate the conditions of the big bang.
Now, who knows what they're doing with it. I don't think they're hellbent on destroying the planet. Maybe we're secretly hellbent on getting off this planet, so that's why we trash it.

Well I for one Try not to trash it. I like it here and don't think Space has much to offer us. Not that we can't do something out there. Just the lack of air thing is kind of a draw back. we don't do to good with out it for some reason. Why do we need to recreate the big bang? I think they just want something to make a bigger better bomb with.
