Humans as a species have gone from stoneworkers and through several evolutionary stages have come to be creators of species and possibly destroyers of the Universe.
How is that possible?
In Geneva, Switzerland, some of the greatest physicist(7000 of them) along with teams of salespeople, politicians, and tradespeople of all types and caliber are building instruments that are challenging the current paradigm of what we know as reality.
This project is called The Long Hadron Collider and it is drawing international attention and resistance. For the European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERN which has now become an international entity, it is years of planning(CERN was founded in 1954) that culminates in the building of the largest particle accelerator and detector on the planet.
The Large Hadron Collider is a giant machine used to study the smallest objects in the universe known to modern man. The machine is so large that bikes are used to travel from one work station to the other.
FACT or FICTION ?
The accelerators push the beams of particles to high energies and once the have travelled long enough and reached a certain level of energy they are then allowed to collide with each other or with stationary targets.
The objective is to analyze several frequencies of impact. The ultimate question is which frequency would have been required to create an explosion the magnitude of the Big Bang.
CERN FACT
There are some groups who oppose the ethics of CERN and one concern is that these LHC collision could create miniature black holes.
"Will a scientific instrument in Europe rip open the space-time continuum? The plaintiffs of a new lawsuit say the Large Hadron Collider might inadvertently create microscopic black holes and end the world as we know it."
KUSP's Rick Kleffel reports on the lawsuit that has life imitating science fiction.
Initial tests have been going on for some time as CERN's public statements show.
In June 2007 CERN released a statement containing the following comment:
“The low-energy run at the end of this year was extremely tight due to a number
of small delays, but the inner triplet problem now makes it impossible,” said
LHC Project Leader Lyn Evans. “We’ll be starting up for physics in May 2008, as
always foreseen, and will commission the machine to full energy in one go.”
The timing of the emergence of machines with the potential to save us or destroy our physical nature couldn't be much better. With the conditions of our world and the prophecies of cataclysmic collision from space objects, maybe this will be the machine that will turn a comet or another such object into a tiny headache. On the other hand, it is a weapon of mass destruction. In the wrong hands it is the greatest tool a tyrant group bent on Oligarchy could want to possess in order to control the masses either through fear or through pain. Small doses of such high energy could potentially destroy very selective global geographical areas. This would be an advancement to using Nuclear or Atomic bombs where the boundaries of destruction are very difficult to control.
This is so in tune with the years leading up to 2012 and all the prophecies that come with it. It's so outlandish and Science Fiction to think in terms of being able to destroy the very universe but if this isn't the time for such capacities then certainly the next machine or the next will do the trick.
