Russians claim to be inventing time travel

Mathematicians Irina Aref’eva and Igor Volovich said that when the LHC begins to smash atoms into each other the conditions will be perfect to open a wormhole into the distant future.

“Proton-proton collisions at the LHC could lead to the formation of time machines (space-time regions with closed time-like curves) which violate causality,” said the scientists in a research paper.

Is anyone else worried that violating causality might actually make reality implode? I mean, off all the possible things we could potentially do to destroy the universe, this seems like a suspiciously likely culprit.

But what am I saying? Forward, science!
