| dc.description | We analyse an iterated version of Nielsen and Ninomiya (N&N)'s proposed card game experiment to search for a specific type of backward causation on the running of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We distinguish "endogenous" and "exogenous" potential causes of failure of LHC and we discover a curious "cross-talk" between their respective probabilities and occurrence timescales when N&N-style backward causation is in effect. Finally, we note a kind of "statistical cosmic censorship" preventing the influence from the future from showing up in a statistical analysis of the iterated runs. | |
