According to physicists, the world's largest particle accelerator might be used as a time machine and a certain type of material sent back in time.
Scientists have outlined a way to use the Big Hadron Collider (Geneva near the 27-km drive) to send the hypothetical particle the Higgs singlet in the past, writes in LiveScience.com. However, this guessing there are plenty of 'if '. One of the key issues - whether the Higgs singlet exists at all, and whether this can be a little piece of accelerator.
"Our theory is doubtful of success, but it's not breaking any laws of physics or experimental constraints - says physicist Tom Weil from Vanderbilt University. - However, if the theory proved to be correct, this method could be used in messages to the past or the future of the Forward. "T Weil and colleagues in Ho Chui I explained the idea of the website arXiv.org published article.
Higgs singlet with other theoretical concerns, but still undiscovered particle called the Higgs boson. This piece, and it is close to the Higgs field, believed to give mass to all other particles. Higgs boson discovery would help scientists answer the question why some particles have mass greater than the other.
Higgs boson search has been one of the reasons to build the Great Hadron Collider. Last year, the unit began regular operation still has not found the trace of Higgs boson, but have not yet reached the maximum accelerator capacity. If the Higgs boson Collider succeed in creating the theory which says that at the same time to create the Higgs and singlet.
This piece may have a unique ability to jump out of the ordinary three-dimensional space and one dimension of time in which we live, and find the invisible dimension, existence of the theory developed in some models of physics. Traveling in the invisible dimension of the Higgs singlet dimension to our return to the point in the time before or after the time when he departed.
"One of the most fascinating view of the travel-time characteristics is that it avoids all the great paradoxes. Since time travel is only this particular matter, a person can not travel into the past, for example, killed one of his parents before his own birth. But if scientists can control the production of the Higgs singlet, they could send a message to the past or the future "
Scientists will test the theory is that the Collider will be found traces of the Higgs singlet and spontaneously arising from their degradation products. If this happens, TN Weil and Ch. M. Ho believes that they will create a particle that travels back in time to appear before the clashes, during which they are created.
This theory is based on the M-theory, called the "theory of everything" that attempts to unite the forces of nature and describe everything in the universe. In turn, the M-theory based on string theory. The above-mentioned source of information is that theoretical physics has developed the M-theory to the point that it covers all the known subatomic particles and forces of the properties, but it requires 10 or 11 dimensions instead of four well-known.
According to this view, the main constituent of the universe are permanently trapped membrane and can not travel to other dimensions.
However, there are certain exceptions. Some argue, for example, that pull is weaker than the other fundamental forces, because it dissolves in the other dimensions. Another possible exception - putative Higgs singlet, which responds to traction, but in any other fundamental forces.
