I'm hoping it's some kind of temporal fuzzing where particles are going backwards in time and causing interference with both past and future events.

No reason other than because that'd be awesome.

They just need to reverse polarity on the LHC!

Would it even be possible to measure this?

I wonder if there was another human sacrifice under the Shiva statue to mark the restart.

Only half joking. Has anyone heard any more about why scientists performed a mock ritual like that?

There's still a chance they can get us all back into the correct timeline.

Because the summer students thought it would be funny to joke about the insane conspiracy theories regarding CERN

[X] other

Some interesting patterns in the data which don't quite line up with accepted theory but aren't statistically conclusive.
