Following continuing problems with the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland and the cancellation in 1993 of the United States Superconducting Supercollider, two eminent physicists have suggested that these machines may have sabotaged themselves from the future in order to prevent them manufacturing the hypothesised Higgs boson (aka the God particle).
Nielsen is one of the founders of string theory, and respected for his 'deep and original' (physics speak for 'apparently crazy but might be proved right in the end') thinking.
This latest suggestion is curiously reminiscent of stories about the Ultimate Answer to the Universe and Everything, and supercomputers multi-networked until they are indeed capable of controlling the universe.
But at least those were just stories.
