#12I 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?
Some may be tempted to call fake news, but there was a snopes article about this stating that it was a prank: http://www.snopes.com/human-sacrifice-captured-at-cern/.

#13Are they homing in on anything that would excite the general public like the Higgs did?

#15There's still a chance they can get us all back into the correct timeline.
Now I'm curious how much someone's chance of having seen/played anything Steins;Gate goes up when preconditioned on visiting Hacker News at least once a week.

With a little luck, in about two months we'll finally get to watch Shazam again.

Letting loose 200 summer students will result in some sort of event. When we were getting ready for the 2008 startup of the LHC someone sent a crowbar guess how many Gordon Freeman themed youTube videos came out of that.

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.
I'd settle for figuring out how to send an email to a previous point in time. I'd like to email myself in 2009. Something about buying a bunch of ASIC's and mining something for a long-term hold.
