Damn Higgs Boson!

[Rhizomorph13]

According to this article the success of the LHC causes a Higgs Boson particle to sabotage its own creation:

No, I’m talking about the notion that the troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.

You see, it’s really simple…

All successful attempts at firing up the LHC end up destroying the universe so, at the moment when success is imminent, we are shunted into a parallel universe where the LHC fails so we are able to perceive the universe that was terminated in another parallel universe. Obviously! If we keep this up there won't be any universes left!

They actually couldn't 'destroy' the universes... only change them in form I don't get it, tbh.

All scientific blogs and physicists in general seem to think these two have gone insane. As if picking cards from a deck is going to somehow make sure reverse causality won't happen. I mean, whats to stop reverse causality from altering the card deck selections??? If it's responsible for breaking a multi-billion dollar machine, a deck of cards isn't exact hard to affect...
