News From The Future

Rumor has it that one will be requested to register to read this NYT thing on the LHC being sabotaged from the future.
We're well known at The Times, so there was no such request for us, but if you can't/won't, the whole piece (except the last paragraph) is garishly displayed at the first link.

Best part:
Another of Dr. Nielsen’s projects is an effort to show how the universe as we know it, with all its apparent regularity, could arise from pure randomness, a subject he calls “random dynamics.”
Actual theme:
... 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 ...

The "Crossroads of Infinity" look like an acid trip in a donut shop.

I'm just sayin' that I wouldn't go to the Junction to Everywhere in a Blue jump suit that showed my underpants line.
Is there any word, from the future, about where my car keys are?

The solution there is never to wear underpants. (Pants to be avoided as well, when possible.)

Future Kiwi called & said now he's lost the car!
