Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may create doors to other dimensions, according to Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN. That is it, man, that is IT! Unexplained breakdowns! Time traveling molecules! Birds attacking with baguettes! Dogs and cats living together!

SCIENCE BUZZ: Thanks to J.J. Abrams and his slew of time-travel related plot devices in film and on TV — basically LOST and Star Trek — I've been thinking a lot about time travel and like I usually do, took to Google to learn some basics. OK I've just read all those things and now I'm even more confused than I was before…And I think my brain is leaking.

The Best Links:

1. “But time travel isn’t magic; it may or may not be allowed by the laws of physics — we don’t know them well enough to be sure — but we do know enough to say that if time travel were possible, certain rules would have to be obeyed.”
2. A recap of the LOST series finale that dealt with some seriously confusing time travel.
3. “One of the most famous arguments against time travel was the problem of temporal paradoxes. What happens if you kill one of your ancestors? If someone else did it, then the line that bore you would cease to exist and so would you. But if you did it to yourself, you would cease to exist thus undoing your murder which would bring you back into existence where you would travel back in time to kill your ancestor, etc. A paradox.”
4. Time Travel for Beginners (um, not really.)
5. HowStuffWorks “How Time Travel Will Work”
6. This is the epic LOST Timeloop theory. Don’t read this unless you want your brain to explode.
7. Temporal Anomalies in Back to the Future
8. Back to the Future Time Travel Chronology
9. “Although time travel has been a common plot device in fiction since the 19th century, and one-way travel into the future is arguably possible given the phenomenon of time dilation based on velocity in the theory of special relativity (exemplified by the twin paradox) as well as gravitational time dilation in the theory of general relativity, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow backwards time travel.”

This simple scientific device will help you prevent unwanted pregnancies the natural, God-fearing way. As you can see it is very easy to use! Although the man who created it, John C. Rock, went on to conduct the first trials of hormone-based birth control, so…it's possible he decided this was not a perfect system.

Watch this video of maggots eating part of a woman's foot! I can't watch it without covering my eyes, but I'm pretty sure it's the grossest thing ever. But it's medicine! Maggots eat the dead tissue out of her wound and at the end she's all, “Maggots: two thumbs up.”
