Some scientists recently have hypothesized that the Large Hadron Collider is running into so many problems because it’s doing it on purpose. The LHC is trying to discover the Higgs boson, but scientists think in doing so, the LHC is actually destroying itself from the future.
According to the Times, two physicists posit that the reason that the Large Hadron Collider (and, previously, its unbuilt American counterpart) keeps running into problems isn’t bad luck or shoddy workmanship. It’s that the LHC’s quest to discover the Higgs boson–a heretofore only theorized particle that scientists believe is what gives objects mass–is creating problems 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.”
So I guess this means no Back To The Future?
