Testable M-Theory Prediction

[CraigS]

If the latest theory of Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho is right, the Large Hadron Collider – the world's largest atom smasher that started regular operation last year – could be the first machine capable causing matter to travel backwards in time.

Weiler and Ho's theory is based on M-theory

The jist is that they're predicting the spontaneous appearance of 'Higgs singlets' at the same time as Higgs Bosons (if they appear at all). The singlets are theorised to be one of the particles not bound to the 'brane' upon which normal matter resides, so they can theoretically travel in other dimensions, and thus forwards or backwards in time.

Good to see M-Theory starting to be understood to the point where someone can formulate some predictions !

Will be interesting to see what results of the experiments.

Who knows, they may see the results of their experiments before they actually perform them

Brian will get up that morning, walk over to his desk and see some results already written down (by himself) in his log book. He'll have an eureka moment and then go perform the experiment to get his results

That'll be another TV show for him, I foresee

Hope he leaves enough room to write down his abstract, intro, methodology and conclusion

That's Brian Greene, right ?

He's the M-Theory 'Brian', right ...? ...

No....Mr Cox....he works at the LHC on the ATLAS detector. Although Mr Greene can be looking over his shoulder

Then you could say two "brians" are better than one
