Einstein was wrong; Tesla was a time traveler.

Scientists at the CERN research institute near Geneva claim to have accelerated subatomic neutrino particles faster than the speed of light. (Sept. 23)

Part of me thinks that this will all end up being another "cold fusion". But another part of me wants Tesla to be a time traveler made out of neutrinos.

Oh yeah, and pretty much everything we know about anything in physics is proven wrong with this...

BUT TIME TRAVEL.

Explosions, scientists arrested for alleged terrorism, mysterious breakdowns — recently Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun to look like the world’s most ill-fated experiment.

Is it really nothing more than bad luck or is there something weirder at work? Such speculation generally belongs to the lunatic fringe, but serious scientists have begun to suggest that the frequency of Cern’s accidents and problems is far more than a coincidence.

The LHC, they suggest, may be sabotaging itself from the future — twisting time to generate a series of scientific setbacks that will prevent the machine fulfilling its destiny.

At first sight, this theory fits comfortably into the crackpot tradition linking the start-up of the LHC with terrible disasters. The best known is that the £3 billion particle accelerator might trigger a black hole capable of swallowing the Earth when it gets going. Scientists enjoy laughing at this one.

This time, however, their ridicule has been rather muted — because the time travel idea has come from two distinguished physicists who have backed it with rigorous mathematics.

What Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, are suggesting is that the Higgs boson, the particle that physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be “abhorrent to nature”.

What does that mean? According to Nielsen, it means that the creation of the boson at some point in the future would then ripple backwards through time to put a stop to whatever it was that had created it in the first place.

This, says Nielsen, could explain why the LHC has been hit by mishaps ranging from an explosion during construction to a second big bang that followed its start-up. Whether the recent arrest of a leading physicist for alleged links with Al-Qaeda also counts is uncertain.

Prepare for unforeseen consequences.

Im aware that this is probably being blown completely out of proportion, I just find it very amusing.

SCIENCE INVENTS MACHINE WHICH TRAVELS BACK IN TIME TO INTERFERE WITH ITSELF.

Haha, so we finally make a machine that can behave like a god and it goes and kills itself.

[Prelate Diogenes Shandor]

From my understanding of why the time related effects of very high speeds occur (which, admittedly, is non-academic; derived mostly from reading things like The Universe In A Nutshell and other non-academic physics books (and also encyclopedia articles, educational television, and Richard Feynman's autobiography) ) it seems like the time reversal effect associated with speeds greater than c should only occur relative to certain observers, specifically those viewpoints that the superluminal object is approaching (who would see it appear as it passes them, and then recede towards where it came from), though, again, I haven't worked out any relevant math on the subject or anything.

[Prelate Diogenes Shandor]

Besides time reversal in all refrence frames wouldn't really be exciting anyway; That would just be essentially equivalent (perhaps completely identical) to antimatter.

[Cainad (dec.)]

The reverse-time-ripple effect is, in fact, a failsafe put in place by beings with a vested interest in the continued existence of the Universe as it is now. So long as this obstacle remains unsurmounted, the veil between us and the Impossible remains intact.

Once it is finally tricked into existing, however, the truth of the Elder Gods shall be revealed in the split instant before everything is consumed in the inconceivable vastness of That Which Cannot Be.

Before anyone gets confused, neutrinos are something completely different than neutrons.

Neutrinos are super tiny (nearly?) massless particles that fly through matter like it's not there. They're doing it right now, buzzing through you.

Neutrons are also very tiny, being sub-atomic and all, but much bigger than neutrinos. They have mass and they can often be found sitting inside atomic nuclei, chilling and being neutral as fuck. Generally laid back but if you put too much of them together and squeeze them real hard, they'll form a neutron star and beam gamma radiation at you. This can be hazardous to your health. D/N/T.

I have just been inspired to get into science and physics.  Thanks, Time-Travelling Tesla!

But for serious, I'm spazzing out over the possibility, as remote as it may be, of IRL space/time bending.

[Freeky]

Also, this is so much weirder than science fiction, and the whole thing people are for serious over.  HOW CAN ONE NOT GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS???

here's a really good introduction to Tesla's genius:
