The URL at the very bottom of this message provides a lot more information. The whole story together is very entertaining to say the least.

From a layman's perspective (I am not a scientist.), the LHC has been created to discover/produce a particular type of particle, a Higgs boson, which is thought to give all other matter its mass, without which gravity could not work.

Part of the problem seems to be whatever happens to produce the boson is causing a ripple backwards through time, and subsequently cancels out the original cause/event.

Ridicule has been replaced with rigorous mathematics that support
the idea of time travel. I wonder what is next?

Read the whole story, it is very interesting.

Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future

would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year.

Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender.

Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

This isn't the first time time-travel has been blamed for mishaps at the LHC. Last year, the Japanese physicist Masao Ninomiya and Danish string-theory pioneer Holger Bech Nielsen put forward the hypothesis that the Higgs boson was so "abhorrent" that it somehow caused a ripple in time that prevented its own discovery.

Professor Brian Cox, a former CERN physicist and full-time rock'n'roll TV scientist, was sympathetic to Mr Cole. "Bless him, he sounds harmless enough. At least he didn't mention bloody black holes."

Mr Cole was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva but later disappeared from his cell. Police are baffled, but not that bothered.

Wow.....................not much to say to this one except....."Beam me up, Scotty!"

(how can an unlimited supply of Kit Kats be a bad thing????)
