Someone or something out there doesn't want the Large Hadron Collider to spin up to full speed. Either that, or it's the most complex piece of machinery ever built so kinks are expected. But that's a less fun explanation.

The current snafu involves a power failure so serious that not only was the LHC itself knocked out, but so were all of its websites. Oops!

For a not so tongue-in-cheek story:

2. Only If They're From The Future.

It's like a real-life "Terminator" starring John Titor. :tinfoilhat:
