The Hadron Supercollider (HSC) in, or rather under, Switzerland, has experienced setback after setback as scientists try to figure out just what happened during the much postulated "Big Bang". The Higgs boson is a particle that makes up other particles that makes up slightly bigger particles that are found in atoms, which are the basic building blocks to all matter in the universe. But, and this is the strange thing about the article, scientists think the Higgs boson doesn't want to exist, and is influencing events (including disruption of the HSC) from the future so that it can't come into existence.
It all sounds like the grandfather paradox we read about during the last unit, and I feel the article is cool enough for ya'll to take a gander at!
