theory as to why

Science Magnificent theory as to why the Large Hadron Collider at CERN breaks down. It's sabotage. From the 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 traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather."

Two points worth noting about the ensuing thread as Metafilter. Firstly this comment which doesn't deny the theory out of hand and uses the old Doctor Who stand bye of the paranormal just being science so advanced we don't understand it yet ...

... and the fact that I don't recognise any of the usernames. Who are these people? I expect somebody, somewhere could write a paper about how online communities have exactly the same kind of generational development as the real world, except perhaps at an accelerated rated.
