McKenna, CERN and the time-travelers

You may have noticed the many articles popping up describing the anticipation felt by the world physics community over the completion of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, specifically the idea that the first experiments may serve as a portal for future time-travelers to burst into our dimension and turn our age into a cosmic tourist-trap. This sounds strange coming from some of the most advance scientists in the world but the idea was already espoused by Terence McKenna. When asked to describe what his proposed 2012 eschaton would actually be, he would first explain how speculation is near impossible due to things like event horizons and catastrophe theory but then he offered the analogy of the first time-machine being invented that could forward and back through time but not before the time-machine was invented. So on that day all these time-trotters would show up on that momentous day for history, and thus revealing the endpoint of the novelty/habit wave of history.
Just goes to show, you don't need a physics degree to understand the contours of the multiverse, just 5 dried grams'll do the trick.

Here's one of the many blurbs and articles about the CERN LHC time travel idea:
