Apparently they are working out the bugs in the design… but it’s not a design fault. He said the second problem is not with the most complex technology but involves the copper sheaths around the superconducting joints in the tunnel. The copper sheaths are a failsafe mechanism designed to take up the current if one [...]
Large Hadron Collider
Time Travel as a Scientific Explanation
Let’s keep in mind that this was printed in the New York Times. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the Large Hadron Collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before [...]
