This leaves precious little time for the doom sayers to get a word in.

That would be impossible, according to Einstein, since speech can't travel faster than light

If I "Flashforward", hopefully I won't be in the loo and there better be a Lambourghini involved.

Hey, I just realized, Schrodinger's Cat just flipped the coin on us all...we're the ones with the probability of living or dying now!!!

No wonder we kill cats in thought experiments; they're nasty!

NEWS FLASH: The Higgs IS the Cat, run for your lives, coz the Higgs now has 9 of em!!!!!

I'm hoping the project provides solutions to some of our current questions and the results don't just indicate a Universe that is perplexingly more complex.

If we all die today, that would solve my guiding problem for me.

That machine is so delicate, If someone sneezes they have to realign it.

My bet is that a mouse chews a wire this time.

Maybe, but more than likely, one of the guys working there will dress to the right instead of the left one morning, and that'll setup a very slight imbalance in the local gravitational field which will slightly alter the diameter of a piece of wire in one of the field coils and that will cause it to short circuit

Unbelievable

Hi All,

ABC Radio, a few days ago, announced that influence from the future had sabotaged the experiment.
Two scientists had made this calculation. The reasoning being that the exercise was dangerous and powers from the future were trying to stop it proceeding.

What next? The mouse has been thought of. Perhaps it is the cat chases a butterfly .......( Domino effect)...... and these insideous microbes devour the electrical insulation and poof! Back to repairs.

Cheers Marty
