"In any case, if the LHC became a time machine by accident, the device would exist only at the sub-atomic level so we are not talking about a machine like Dr Who's Tardis, which is able to carry people forwards and backwards from the future."

Two Russian mathematicians have suggested that the giant atom-smasher being 
  built at the European centre for nuclear research, Cern, near Geneva, could 
  create the conditions where it might be possible to travel backwards or 
  forwards in time. In essence, Irina Aref'eva and Igor Volovich believe that 
  the Large Hadron Collider at Cern, which is due to be switched on this year 
  for the first time, might create tiny "wormholes" in space which 
  could allow some form of limited time travel.

It has to be said that few scientists accept the idea that the Large Hadron 
  Collider (LHC) will create the conditions thought to be necessary for time 
  travel. The LHC is designed to probe the mysterious forces that exist at the 
  level of sub-atomic particles, and as such will answer many important 
  questions, such as the true nature of gravity. It is not designed as a time 
  machine.
