Of course the future repeated failures of the LHC have got to seem non-miraculous though since the likelhood of each experiment failing becomes lower the more experiments you plan on running.
Perhaps some sort of funding problem after a collapse of the world financial system, but that`s not likely, is it?
It`s like the idea applying the idea of quantum immortality and the anthropic principle to my own experience. Wouldn`t it make sense for me to observe my apparent immortality in a world where immortality wasn`t miraculous, such as when technology had advanced to a point where it was `normal`.
A bit of a contradiction there, technology advances to the point where destruction of humanity is easy, but immortality is possible as well.
