CERN


We visited CERN having huge expectations and got what we hoped for and more.

We lived for 4 days in this amazing science-park surrounded by the French Alps to the South, by the Lake Léman and Geneva to the North.

These were 4 days of resting, speaking, eating, living among and asking questions to the finest scientists in the world. At any corner of the CERN Science Park you can meet a renowned scientist and have a chat. Everywhere, you will inevitably meet passionate scientists all devoted to one cause – discovering the secrets of the Universe.



As you know, CERN is currently building its most powerful machine ever, the Large Hadron Collider, also known as LHC. This machine is being installed in a tunnel 27 km in circumference. Actually, the same facility housed a previous machine, the Large Electron Positron collider (LEP).



What is different with LHC is the type of particles collided. Before electrons with relatively low mass were used but now the beam of particles will be made of protons that have greater mass. Thus, it is possible to reach the required energy level for the experiment.

Mark, the scientist who leaded the guided tour explained to us that ‘Although the two proton beams collide with the energy of a mosquito, with regard to their extremely tiny sizes this collision is supposed to recreate the condition of the Big-Bang in miniature’. And ‘Yes, the energy of the collision is theoretically substantial enough to produce a micro black whole, but don’t worry , as its dimensions would be extremely small , so that it could not cause any detrimental effect at all’



By reconstructing the conditions of ‘The Big Ben’ scientists hope that the experiment would produce unknown particles that will provide a better explanation regarding the secrets of the Universe. We suppose that these particles once existed during the first nanoseconds after ‘The Big Bang’ but shortly disappeared afterwards.

‘How can you measure something you do not know?’ Jeremy asked

Our guide replied that all the experiments are organised according to predictions using Einstein’s theory.

‘For instance, the theory suggests the existence of the so called HIGGS Particles, which we hope to discover with the experiment. And according to the theory we can predict that the HIGGS Particles will emit certain quantities of MUONs and other particles that we already know.



Detecting certain patterns that correspond to the theory will indicate whether we have found something or not. Detectors record what happens when the particles collide. The energetic collisions produce many new particles, as energy turns into matter in accordance with Einstein’s equation, E=mc2 , where E stands for energy, m for mass and c is the speed of light. The different Layers of detectors measure different properties of the particles produced in collisions. Tracking devices reveal the paths of the particles as they fly away from the collision. Other layers, called calorimeters, measure the energy of the particles. A magnet built into the detector bends the paths of electrically charged particles and helps in identifying the particle types.’

‘And when the experiment starts.., what if the detectors display completely different results from the expected ones? And what guarantees that these are or are not the HIGGS Particles you’re looking for?’ was the question I asked.



‘If we do not find what we expect, we will have to readjust the theory and interpret the results from a different perspective. The theory is just a tool but it does not necessary limit us.’

Zeitgeist: Addendum

As of now, the world financial system is on the brink of collapse due to its own short comings. The controller of currency stated in 2003 that the interest on the U.S. national debt will not be affordable in less than 10 years. This theoretically means total bankruptcy for the U.S. economy, and its implications for the world are immense.
In turn, the fractional reserve based monetary system is reaching its theoratical limits of expansion. And the banking failures you are seeing are just the beginning.
This is why inflation is skyrocketing , all debt is at record levels and the government and the FED are emerging new money to bailout the corrupt system. For the only way to keep the banks going is by making more money.
The only way to make more money is to create more debt and inflation. It is simply a matter of time before the tables turn and there is nobody willing to take new loans while the faults grow as people are unable to affort their current loans.
Then the expansion of money will stop and contraction will begin on a scale never before seen. Ending a century-long pyramid scheme.
This as already begun.
Therefore we need to expose this financial failure for what it is using its weakeness to our advantage.
In turn, free market capitalism in the form of the trade uses debt to imprison the world and manipulate countries into sub servants to a handful of large business and political powers. Apart from these obvious immoralities, the system itself is based on competition, which immediately destroys the possibility of large-scale collaboration for the common good. Hence paralyzing any attempt to a true global sustainability.

Квантовата физика се среща с Кабала



Както може би сте чули на 10 септември се проведе най-големият научен експеримент в историята на човечеството. Сряда беше пуснат най-мощният в света ускорител на елементарни частици, известен още като Големия адронен колайдер.

Експериментът - т.нар. "first beam" - се излъчваше по интернет чрез сайта на Европейската организация за ядрени изследвания (ЦЕРН, CERN.ch), базирана край Женева.

Имаше и гръмки изказвания против провеждането на подобен експеримент. Скептиците се опасяват, че съществува опасност опитите да породят т.нар. "черни дупки" и да доведат до свършека на света.

Ускорителят е най-големият научен експеримент не само заради мащабите на инсталацията. Той е монтиран под Женева в гигантски тунел на дълбочина 100 м, с формата на пръстен, дължина 27 км и диаметър 3 м. По проекта, започнат преди 20 години, работят 2100 физици, сред които 450 студенти, а ангажираните университети и лаборатории по света са над 167 - в 37 държави.

В същото време, кабалистите твърдят че знаят до какви изводи ще стигнат учените които провеждат експеримента. Според кабалисти, постепенно, учените ще стигнат до извода, че нищо не съществува извън нас и че всичко се определя от качествата на наблюдателя. Само чрез промяна отвътре, може да се стигне до ново ниво на познание. Тези експерименти ще докажат безсилието да се проникне научно в тайните на вселената поради неизбежната субективност на наблюдаващия.

По този повод, искам да ви представя филма за срещата на Рав Михаел Лайтман с водещите учени физици по квантова физика в Сан Франциско. Време е на много голям интерес и големи очаквания да се открият непознати досега неща. Учените се надяват да открият божествената частица която обединява всичко помежду си, но не само учените тръпнат от любопитство какво ще се случи.

Удивително е, доколко съвременната наука, в частност квантовата физика, стига до същите открития и заключения, които са известни на древните мъдреци от преди хиляди години.

Вижте този филм за срещата на водещите учени по квантова физика, които са създали филма "What the bleep do we know?", със съвременния последовател на древната мъдрост на кабала, проф. д-р Михаел Лайтман
