There's research in neuroscience that suggests that memory is not a static thing, it changes through time, that in fact, it works more like a telephone game. 

Thoughts and memories are nothing but electric impulses moving through connections between neurons, those connections (like every physical object) undergo decay, when that happens the brain can compensate it by creating or using other connections, hence, the misremembering and memory change.

CERN is not going to open gates to any "new dimensions", its metaphoric speech, like the moniker "Gods particle" for the Higgs boson. They were refering to the 750 GeV bump apparently detected at ATLAS and CMS, which by the way, has already dissapeared upon further analysis, it was nothing but a statistical anomaly.

It would've opened "new dimensions" to particle physics research, nothing more, nothing less.
