First time travellers this year?

With the firing up of the new super collider we may find out once and for all if time travel is possible. Some are calling the collider the very first time machine. If this is true it only stands to reason that we may have an actual time traveler from the future in our midst before 2009.

Physicists around the world are excitedly awaiting the start up of the £4.65 billion Large Hadron Collider, LHC - the most powerful atom-smasher ever built - which is supposed to shed new light on the particles and forces at work in the cosmos and reproduce conditions that date to near the Big Bang of creation.

Prof Irina Aref'eva and Dr Igor Volovich, mathematical physicists at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow believe that the vast experiment at CERN, the European particle physics centre near Geneva in Switzerland, may turn out to be the world's first time machine, reports New Scientist......

I'm really hoping that the LHC will result in not just one, but many major discoveries that could change the world.

At least, I hope so. I don't want it to end up like every thing else that discovers something, but doesn't really seem to change the world at all.
