Large Hadron Collider sabotages itself..no really

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Maybe Ratz will start sabotaging itself when a flood of posts come at us from the future

I've already seen a few cases of people responding to posts that haven't been made yet.

If the LHC is stopping itself from starting, then it cant be stopping itself from starting..

You obviously haven't read "All You Zombies".

Checked that out on wiki.. excellent . Brain sweating after it though...

That's one of the two all-time great time paradox stories, the other being "By His Bootstraps". (A term many a computer nerd in the '60s took to heart, I think.)

.
Whoa...By his bootstraps...... Read that many years ago, as a kid, didn,t remember the name though, as was checking it on wiki, felt like a temporal shift was occuring.....The circle has closed.!!

I read it under "Anson MacDonald", and thought, "Here's a guy who could give Heinlein some lessons."

If I've learned anything from this thread, its what Alt + F4 does.

Why didn't I just ask? I lost me place now.

I found out the hard way too. Balance is restored.

I've only just heard about this latest idea, via an email from my son. My reaction is to think that they're getting their excuses in early for when they don't find the Higgs boson, which I expected anyway. I readily admit that I don't understand most of the theory in modern cosmology, but I've long held the suspicion that the Big Bang theory is not all it's cracked up to be. No doubt someone here will enlighten me.

I forgot what happens, so I tried it again!

I get that way with beer.

It's not even beer night for me.

I have just finished an astonishing book called 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' by Brian Greene. One of the reasons it is astonishing besides the subject matter, as an aside, is that it helped me, a total maths dodo, to understand at least in metaphorical laypersons terms, issues ranging from resolving quantum mechanics with relativity, the nature of time and space and the nature of the stuff of the universe itself. I do recommend it.

In passing at one point he does point out that the Big Bang theory is not a theory about how the universe was created, but how it evolved from the microsecond after it came into being and for the following thirteen billion years. I knew that really, but seeing it written made me think a bit.

One of the things that I came away from reading the book with was a reminder of how deeply mysterious the universe we live in really is. Who needs the supernatural?

Looks good, Rum. I just read the Amazon reviews.

Yes, Rum
