Large Hadron Collider: The world's first time machine?

[Capt Tuttle]

"the Large Hadron Collider could be the first machine capable of causing matter to travel backwards in time. "

"One of the major goals of the collider is to find the elusive Higgs boson. If the collider succeeds in producing the Higgs boson, some scientists predict that it will create a second particle, called the Higgs singlet, at the same time.

According to Weiler and Ho’s theory, these singlets should have the ability to jump into an extra, fifth dimension where they can move either forward or backward in time and reappear in the future or past."

If its true,I WANNA BE THE FIRST TO GO BACK TO 1985!!

It's not the Higgs, but the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered a new boson by the name Chi-b (3P). As explained to the BBC, the new particle is a more excited state of Chi particles already observed during collisions, and is comprised of "beauty quark" and a "beauty anti-quark" bound together. Although the excited state had been theorized by the Standard Model of particle physics, it had not been observed until now. The discovery helps complete our understanding of the universe and is hailed as the first clear observation of a new particle since the 17-mile underground accelerator opened for business in 2009.

The geekiest report:

The chi_b(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb^-1, these states are reconstructed through their radiative decays to Upsilon(1S,2S) with Upsilon->mu+mu-. In addition to the mass peaks corresponding to the decay modes chi_b(1P,2P)->Upsilon(1S)gamma, a new structure centered at a mass of 10.539+/-0.004 (stat.)+/-0.008 (syst.) GeV is also observed, in both the Upsilon(1S)gamma and Upsilon(2S)gamma decay modes. This is interpreted as the chi_b(3P) system.

Oops! Turns out it isn't Boson..

Update: The initial report described the particle as a Boson (elemental force carriers), it is in fact a Meson (which comprise of a quark and an anti-quark)
