After their cryogenic system failed, and after the incident of
some bird having made its nest within the accelerator (causing
a short circuit or something) I started hearing this theory:
Discovery of the Higgs boson will turn out to facilitate time
travel, and now the unverse is protecting causality.
In other words, the accelerator will never work.
A nice theory, but not original.

So what?
None of your hydrophobic blather is original either, and yet you don't
seem to mind spewing it ad nauseam.
Not a contention that you have actually proved, and not a contention
that you would be equipped to prove if it happened to be correct
(which it isn't).
---
Well, I guess I was a little hasty in saying that none of your
hydrophobic blather is original when what I should have said was that
very little of your hydrophobic blather is original.
And even though you missed my implication, the point still stands; it
being that you criticize others for repeating what they've heard when
you do the same thing, hypocrite, and expect to get away with it with
impunity.

Those are just a couple more of the convenient untruths you try to
peddle as fact by endless, mind-numbing repetition.
As a refutation of the first lie, here's the code for a
crystal-controlled 40kHz astable I designed to drive an IRLED using a
Motorola MC68HC05K1, instead of a 555, about 16 years ago:

This code was used to drive a device which tallied visitors into and out
of the LBJ Library and Museum by adding them up as they walked in and
subtracting them as they walked out (in order to keep track of traffic
in and stragglers) so, as you can see, your claims are, as usual,
baseless.
Oh, and that's not even mentioning the optics...

I saw this coming as a child, when I saw the TV news of the Chicago

They are gearing up, folks.

Sorry, it is an American colloquialism. I did not anticipate that the

Once you do, however... it should all be clear.

recognised its potential as a device for replacing a 555 when you
actually wanted stable and predictable timing intervals.
How long did the customer have to hang you over a slow fire before he
could persuade you that the 555 was inadequate?

Will run only at half power until 2012.
Not a much better search for the Higgs then the 7 years at 2 TeV
that Fermilab already has.
LOL
What a joke.
3.5 TeV for two years may not be much better than 2 TeV for seven
years, but it is still better than nothing, which is what the
theortical physicists had when the super-conducting magnet blew up
The joke is your claim that Large Hadron Collider isn't working right..
It is doing exactly what its operators want it to do, demonstrating
that all the sub-systems are doing what they are supposed to when
operating under a substantial proportion of the design load
It isn't doing what the theoritical phsycists would like it to do,
which is to start working at its design energy right now, but happily
the slow and cautious brigade have got their wish.
The real disaster is waiting to happen - no new physics at all even at
full power. Can you imagine what the next request for an even more
powerful and more expensive machine will sound like after that?
Why do you call this a disaster ? It's the normal scientific process.
You have a theory that something cool will happen when you try X, so you
make an experiment. If what you expected does not happen then you know
that your theory was wrong, that is, you gained some new knowledge -
it's no disaster !
Whether (or better: when) a new more powerful machine will be built is a
political decision.
Exactly.
"Hey we blew a few billion on this machine and discovered nothing. So
now we want another few billion to build another machine that may
discover nothing". I think it would be the end of the line for Big$ physics.
Not before time. Every generation of accelerator has been roughly an
order of magnitude more expensive than its predecessor. Eventually
other approaches have got to become more cost-effective.
But there is still plenty of medium-sized physics around to soak up
funding - gravity wave detectors and neutrino-telescopes come to mind.
