2008: Does time travel start here?
It is a highly speculative claim, that's for sure. But if Aref'eva and Volovich are correct, the LHC's debut at CERN, the European particle physics centre near Geneva in Switzerland, could provide a landmark in history. That's because travelling into the past is only possible - if it is possible at all - as far back as the creation of the first time machine, and that means 2008 could become Year Zero...
You have to buy the mag to get the rest, but basically (as I understand it) it suggests that the Higgs boson will be the key to unlock time travel. Current thinking about time travel predicts that it can only go back in time to when the time machine comes into effect, which means that when the LHC is switched on, time travellers from the future will start popping up all over the place.
Twilight Zone or what?
