Time Machine Built in Europe, Russian Scientists Say
Russian
physicists seriously believe that the Large Hadron Collider can be used
for time travel. However, it will only happen when it starts working at
full capacity and stops breaking down.
If
earlier time travel was considered science fiction, now it suddenly
turned into the favorite pet project of theoretical physicists. Renowned
physicist Kip Thorne of the California Institute of Technology once
said in one of his lectures:
“Once upon a time,
time travel was the exclusive prerogative of writers. Serious scientists
were shunning it like the plague, even when they were writing novels
under a pseudonym or were secretly reading them. The times have changed!
Now in serious scientific journals you can find a scientific analysis
of time travel, authored by outstanding theoretical physicists. Why this
change? Physics simply understood that the nature of time is too
important to give it to the mercy of writers.”
Today,
there are many different schemes of devices designed for time travel.
The main one is the Large Hadron Collider. It was launched in the fall
of 2008. This is the most powerful particle accelerator in history
located on the border of Switzerland and France. In its 27-kilometer
ring scientists are trying to collide beams of protons accelerated to
nearly light speed. As expected, this device will provide new
information about particles and forces acting in space, as well as will
reproduce conditions that existed immediately after the Big Bang gave
birth to the universe.
