Well, the problem I have with that though is why would it? I mean, preventing the LHC from detecting it seems to me a very specific and purposeful, complex action. I may be missing something I'll admit, but that idea seems to imply a sentient particle that cares one way or the other whether we detect it. I can't quite fathom that.

I don't think the meaning there was that it would go back in time on purpose, but that the odds were that it could, and if only one was produced what is the probability that it will remain in the current time frame to be detected when expected.

The theory is ussually thrown around under the assumption that a naked Higgs would destroy the universe (I don't know why that would be the case but I digress). In which case the Higgs would go back and prevent it's own creation. Or, depending on your personal interpretation of quantum physics, causing the only surviving universe to be the one where the LHC wasn't turned on (which, of course, would be the only universe we exist in to care about).

During the two mosquitoes’ collision, two things will happen, time and the amount of energy that is being released. The mosquitoes that release a huge amount of energy will slow down time, and the mosquitoes that do not release the energy will jump forward in time. It will be interesting to see what will happen and hope that nothing bad will happen. When the time is split into two halves, disequilibrium of time takes over and a small universe could be created in the LHC tube.

There's a reason it's nicknamed the God particle like it or not :P
