Can atom smasher double as time machine?

The Large Hadron Collider as a time machine? According to a physics professor and his assistant, the world's largest atom smasher could indeed allow people to travel back in time.

Theoretical? To be sure. But they say it's theoretically possible.

"Our theory is a long shot, but it doesn't violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints," said Vanderbilt University physicist, Tom Weiler, in a statement.

Weiler and Vanderbilt graduate fellow Chui Man Ho, outline their theory in a paper on a site operated by Cornell.
