    • Then it will be time to test one of the most bizarre and revolutionary
      theories in science. I’m not talking about extra dimensions of space-time, dark
      matter
      or even black holes that eat the Earth. No, I’m talking about the
      notion that 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.
