Scientific method be damned, this is the explanation I'm gonna believe no matter what.
Forget the far-fetched belief that it will create a black hole, two distinguished physicists have gone even further claiming nature itself is stopping the troubled £4.4billion project from getting off the ground.
In a theory reminiscent of the time travelling film Back to the Future, the theoretical physicists Holger Nielsen, from Denmark, and Masao Ninomiya, from Japan, have concluded that its discoveries could be so "abhorrent to nature" that they are coming back to stop their own creation.
The pair's hypothesis centres around the Higgs Boson, a mysterious tiny particle and building block of life that it is hoped the LHC will discover.
They have come up with a theory that it will "ripple backward through time" and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.
"It must be our prediction that all Higgs producing machines shall have bad luck,” Dr. Nielsen said.
He said that his theories may even provide a "model for God" who "rather hates Higgs particles, and attempts to avoid them”.
At the same scientists hope to locate a mysterious particle known as the Higgs Boson or God Particle which gives everything its mass.
