Cern's Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider as a time machine? According to a physics professor and his assistant, the world’s largest atom smasher could indeed allow people to travel back in time.

Theoretical? To be sure. But they say it’s theoretically possible.

“Our theory is a long shot, but it doesn’t violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints,” said Vanderbilt University physicist, Tom Weiler, in a statement.

Weiler and Vanderbilt graduate fellow Chui Man Ho, outline their theory in a paper on a site operated by Cornell.

The atom smasher, which began operations last year, was built, in part, to help scientists in their search for the elusive Higgs boson, part of an invisible force field believed to give mass to particles in the cosmos. Nobody has ever actually observed the Higgs boson in an experiment to confirm the theory that was put forward by physicists Peter Higgs, Robert Brout and Francois Englert.

Weiler and Ho suggest that if the LHC can reproduce a Higgs boson, it will also be able to produce a related particle, called the Higgs singlet, at the same time. This is the crucial ingredient as they theorize that these singlets would serve as jumping off points with the ability to move into other dimensions, moving across time.

A miniature Big Bang was created Sunday at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as the world’s most powerful atom-smasher successfully entered a new phase of exploration.

The particle accelerator at the CERN laboratory near Geneva smashed together lead atoms for the first time, to produce temperatures a million times hotter than those found at the heart of the sun.

Proton vs. Proton (Wikipedia)

I recently published two articles discussing Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In both those articles, I reported concerns that the Collider may pose serious safety threats. Included in the second article entitle “Will Black Holes swallow Switzerland” was a definition of a black hole and the potential consequences should a “mini black hole” be created in under the Swiss countryside.
