Has anyone heard the latest on Cern's Large Hadron Collider? Actually, I'm referring that bit of news about how the LHC may not work because it's somehow temporally undermining itself: Its own future performance and success might affect it now, thus making it impossible to detect the mysterious Higgs boson particle--aka, the God particle.

Apparently, two physicists have worked out the mathematics to support this theory of cosmic censorship. (News item here: LHC news.) I'll admit that I marvel and wonder at the idea. It almost sounds teleological, I must say. Let's give the last few words to Niels Bohr, speaking in a different time: "We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct."
