Last year I read a paper, written by two respected theoretical physicists, with the awkwardly phrased title: Test of Influence from Future in Large Hadron Collider; A Proposal. And I also read a blog post about the paper that translated the whole thing into that ‘non-particle-physics-English’ vocabulary I usually need to make sense of such papers.
In the paper, the authors suggest that the LHC might never work, and that it could be shut down under mysterious circumstances. The reason for this being that should such a machine ever be turned on, it would create a wave of particles so disruptive that they’d flow backwards in time causing the machine to never work in the first place.
