Causality and backward causation
An article in The New York Times caught my attention and it is based on another article posted on arXiv.org by Holger B. Nielsen and Masao Ninomiya, Search for Future Influence from L.H.C. The article “predicted” recurring “accidents” in the LHC ring, and explains the SSC cancellation using the same argument. The SSC in Texas was abandoned after a quarter of the tunnel was built, attributed to a remarkable piece of bad luck. Not according to the two authors.
