Did you see this: "Baguette breaks Large Hadron Collider"?

Wow. It reminds me of a New York Times essay from last month - pretty much how the universe course corrects and won't allow the collider to ever work. Example:

"I’m talking about the notion that the troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather."

It's got to be true, how else would "an errant chunk of baguette" somehow fall into a £4 billion machine?

Wow.
