In one of the sci-fi coolest physics theories I’ve read, a pair of scientists argue that actually making a Higgs boson particle is so unsettling to the universe that consequences ripple backwards through time to prevent it from happening.

This, they argue, was the cause of the unexpected Superconducting Supercollider cancellation in the 90s, as well as the malfunction one year back during preliminary tuning of the Large Hadron Collider. It’s hilarious and brilliant and I can’t wait for the movie.
