Whose Taking the Front Row Seat on Stupidity?
One of the most famous quotes of Albert Einstein was, ” Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” Looking at CERN’s LHC experiment and mankind brings this to my mind because the infinite universe will no longer be as we know it—with “infinite” taking on a whole new meaning. So who is going to take the front seat on stupidity?
Many feel the front seat presently is being occupied by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory — CERN1–who on next Wednesday, September 10, 2008, will perform their first attempt to circulate the LHC beam–a quiet little statement that is almost mouse-like, but full of so much power. The dreaded fear mongers and Devil’s advocates are excitedly spreading their woeful words of doomsday happenings while technical experts gleefully herald the upcoming “ever-so-hopeful but not quite sure” scientific developments which may or may not inform us of who we are and how we got here.
God is not involved and God has never been involved–as God is not part of science. He cannot be seen, smelled, heard or seen, yet a small fortune has just been spent by a global field of scientists on such a non-existent entity for the past fifteen years—in order for us to find a fifth dimension that we “think” may be there but we are not sure. A search, I may say, which may or may not bring the Earth and its universe to her knees.
But even if (alas) “nothing” happens next week in CERN’s controversial tunnel located 300-feet underground near the French-Swiss border, the grid developed from this £4.4billion project will bring holographic video conferencing and an Internet 10,000 times faster than broadband for telecom providers, all levels of governmental agencies, research institutions, and businesses that specialize in large amounts of data. The only way nobody will win is if the Earth is destroyed, and whether it is or is not is not up to the average citizens of the world. I know for sure, if that much money and time has been spent on a “questionable” theory, we are not being told the whole story. Somebody knows something, and they are not talking—at least the entire truth.
As of August 8th, CERN ended the cooling down phase of the LHC—and not an easy task, believe me–with next Wednesday’s process actually beginning with the properly cooled-down of each of the eight engine sectors. Once this is done, electrical testing of the 1600 superconducting magnets will begin with each powering to nominal operating currents. The joint powering-up of each of the eight sector’s circuits will then began, with all of them operating as one single machine in unison. The goal of next week’s experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is to take a serious look at the actual nature of mass and the possibility of extra dimensions, while resolving some long-asked fundamental physic questions.
