Large Hadron Collider is repaired

By Value hunter on Nov 17, 2009 | In News, In real life, Wondering

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been repaired after more than a year and could be "fired up" as soon as this weekend.

The LHC fascinates me, not because of the size of the thing/project, or where it is situated, or the costs involved... will they recoup any of the money they have have spent?
The thing about the large hadron collider, that makes me even take notice, is the conspiracy theorists!

There is a belief that the LHC was broken on purpose, by someone who has come from the future to "avert disaster for planet Earth!"
As daft as this sounds, let us say that the LHC reveals something about the cosmos, some previously unknown fact or way of doing something, or even a new chemical in the dust particles generated from a collision, that proceeds to be used in a weapon or a method of generating energy in huge amounts and their is an accident or it falls into criminal hands, etc.
In the future time travel maybe possible - look up at the stars in the night sky outside your house, you could be viewing a star that no longer exists, but is still visible to the nakid eye on Earth, due to the time take for the light of the image to reach our view - say there was a way to go back in time and destroy or break the LHC?
This could avert a future disaster could it not?

Who knows, amongst us there could be people going backwards and forwards in time already, how would us mere mortals know about it?
