There's stupid research with no grounding in the real world and there's stupid research that gives credence to conspiracy theorists everywhere.

In layman's terms the Large Hadron Collider's frequent misadventures (it's still not working) are being attributed to possible sabotage. From time travelers. Sent back in time to prevent it firing up and destroying our future…

Some scientists have produced papers outlining possible tests to make the process of sabotage easier – involving drawing randomly selected cards that say either "close the collider" or "keep running it"…

I'm not joking. Here are links… to the first study, and the second.
