We need this one to undo the timeline shift the last one caused

Yeah everything's been kinda fucked ever since, hasn't it... i mean... it was 2008 right before obama being elected and i really don't think the "correct" path of the future would have involved r-money or mccain winning so at least SOME shit would be the same, but still...

LHC didn't start seriously smashing shit (beyond previous energies done by other colliders) until after 2010 though. I think everything went tits up about 2012, tbh - the year they found the Higgs Boson. I kind-of jokingly subscribe to the idea that the world ended. I mean, it just checks so many boxes to me, it truly seems that the universe as it stands right now is fundamentally different than it should be after the passing of one single decade.

okay i can DEFINITELY agree with you about 2012, shit's been super fucking weird since SPECIFICALLY that year.

the worst day of my life was December 22nd 2012 and I remember it very clearly because I couldn't figure out WHY.

I just felt awful to a degree i have NEVER felt before or ever again since. Not even once. Not even a little.

It was a distinct watershed moment that divided my entire life into "before" and "after".
I figured it was just some freak hormonal imbalance that walloped me out of nowhere but it's weird that that was the only time and that it coincided with such a distinct ... difference in how the world was between 'before that' and 'after that'.

now, the higgs boson event was on a different date, certainly, but that day... i will never be able to forget it.

We accidentally changed the fabric of the Universe by observing it.

We need to get the divergence number above 1.
