Yeah...at that point, I thought for sure this was a joke.

From Slashdot today:

Following up our earlier discussion of the theory that the Higgs boson might time-travel to avoid being found, reader gpronger notes an interview with MIT (and LHC) physicist Steven Nahn, in which he comments on Nielsen and Ninomiya's unlikely-sounding theory. "The premise is fairly crazy, but many things in physics are constructed that way... The difference here is that... previous 'crazy' ideas gave consequences that were clearly testable and attestable to the new nature of the theory, in an objective manner, and involved the behavior of inanimate objects (i.e., not humans). However, in this case, the consequences seem quite contrived... Exactly in line with their argument, I could say that Nature abhors the Chicago Cubs, such that the theory which describes the evolution of our universe prescribed Steve Bartman to interfere on October 14, 2003, extending the 'bad luck' of the Cubbies."

People forget the fact that there are particle collisions in magnitudes of power that instantly dwarf the ability of this particle collider happening right now in our upper atmosphere.

The only thing this machine really does is do it's damnedest to measure one of these collisions created in a controlled setting.

So there is an ex keyboard player for a shitty 90's pop band and a guy who tried to work for al qaeda at work on this project. That's comforting. I guess 'prof' keyboard called anyone who believes this theory a 'twat'. Wow, what a great brain trust we have going on with this colossal waste of money. Meanwhile, canse goes uncured...

This theory is stupid.

The assertions in this video are absolutely correct. God will not let this thing operate because he is caring for us who don't understand what we are playing with. God will explain all of this to us eventually. He/she is a being that we are supposed to know personally and intimately; we are part of him/her so why would he/she do anything but care for us in a loving way? There is lots of info if you are interested. Nothing is supposed to be hidden or secretive and neither come from The One.

Poop and bacteria are a part of us. Do you love poop and bacteria?


Greatest. Youtube comments. Ever.

samisyosam is a poetv user.

Meanwhile, canse goes uncured...

So that's why samisyosam is correct.

"rollsthepaul" made me angry with his ambiguous feel-good pseudo-religious nonsense

This happened in some sci-fi series I read once. Humans couldn't build some FTL engine because if they ever did they'd misuse it and erase their whole universe, so all that was left was alternate universes in which the thing somehow never worked. So they stopped trying and made a kickass weapon out of it instead.

Yeah it's BS but its the kind of thing that humorously riles up Alex Jones listeners.

it's a good scientific theory to people who don't know what science is, or what a theory means in the context of science (as opposed to the context of a shitty cop show on USA).

I was rolling through the whole portion.

Actually Holger Bech Nielsen SPEAKS funny EVEN for a DaNE..

No seriously, I would put some of them in the hopper if you guys understood Danish.

FuCk YoU. I hope you die in a fire. You know just in case.

I'm overwhelmed by your brilliance, which is clearly represented as well in your capitalization style choices.
