Can The Future Change The Past? The LHC Mystery | Universe Decoded | Episode 17

In 2008, two respected physicists made an astonishing claim: nature might "abhor" the Higgs boson so much that the future would reach back in time to stop its discovery. What followed at the Large Hadron Collider — from a massive helium leak to a bird dropping a baguette — seemed to eerily confirm their wild theory. Was this just a series of bizarre coincidences, or did the future genuinely try to alter the past? What you'll learn in this video: The bizarre "future sabotage" theory proposed by physicists Holger Bech Nielsen and Masao Ninomiya for the LHC. The real-world accidents that plagued the LHC and made the theory seem eerily plausible. Why even "wild" scientific ideas can be valuable for exploration. The established, proven science behind time travel into the future (and how you're already doing it). Why going backward in time is far more complex, touching on wormholes and paradoxes. How physicists actually think about the possibility of the future influencing the past. A sneak peek into the mind-bending topics we'll explore in this series on time travel.
