Particle Accelerator – 2012 – 7 Reasons Why The World Ends On December 21, 2012
Scientists around the globe agree and are unanimously predicting that �life on Earth as we know it� could end on or around December 21st, 2012. Amongst them, several believe that it will be invoked by humans, but the majority is convinced that nature in a universal way will be the cause of the dramatic changes. Several religious leaders worldwide however are stating that it will be an act of God and that Judgment Day will come upon us at that time. Whichever theory you tend to follow, it is remarkable for once that all visions are on the same wavelength as to the impact on mother Earth. These are seven reasons why scientists and non-fiction predictors are convinced that the world as we know it will end on December 21st, 2012:
Reason #1 � The End of the Mayan Calendar:
The oldest and most researched source of the end was derived from the Mayan Calendar that indicates that times end on this day. The Mayans are considered a highly intelligent race who must have possessed far developed technologies which to date nobody alive can even start to comprehend. They were also a bloodthirsty race and some of their key characteristics involved building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.
Not only did they live in an era immediately before the previous major global event, about 11,500 years ago, they were able to calculate the lunar moon as 329.53020days, only 34 seconds off.
The Mayan calendar has set the end of the Earth on December 21, 2012. Their prediction is to be taken serious as at that time, the accuracy of calculating the lunar moon so close, the likelihood of their calculation being accurate yet again is extremely high.
Reason #2 – Sun Storms:
The media in general does not like to cover topics that are hard to explain, except for some of the supernatural channels that are rarely visited by the self-claimed �realistic� viewers. However scientists are on the ball when it comes to observing the sun and its activities with the relatively high-tech equipment we know today. And they have made a mesmerizing discovery when it comes to its activities lately. Few years ago, the sun dramatically increased its radiation energy to levels much higher than registered in a long time. Its behavior definitively is cyclic and there is a clear 11+ year recurring cycle. Now, a couple of years after the last serious activity increase, 2012 announces the height of the 11+ years cycle announcing much higher activity than already measured in recent years.
Since the recent storms already accounted for knocking out power grids and destroying satellites, there is a very clear indication that the next round in 2012 will be of previously unseen magnitude impacting our planet and the technology in orbit of it. Calculations suggest it will reach its deadly peak sometime late in 2012.
Reason #3 – The European Atom Smasher:
European Scientists are finalizing the construction of the world�s largest particle accelerator ever conceived. To describe it in simplified terms, it consists of a 27 kilometers tunnel designed to smash atoms together in the anticipation of finding out what makes the Universe tick.
With reason, this mega-project has already caused serious concerns where several renowned scientists have expressed their deep concerns about flipping the ON-switch. Amongst their predictions of all kinds of lethal events, mini black holes are probable to be created. Chances are that the first mega-experiment with this latest invention may turn the globe into a matter no bigger than the size of a basketball.
Oh�that first experiment is scheduled for�2012.
Reason #4 � According to Religion
Several religions are giving us similar indications and predictions based on, amongst others, interpretations of the Bible, the I Ching (also known as the Chinese Book of Changes), as well as various sections within the Hindu teachings. All of them indicate the 21st of December 2012 as the end of the world. The Bible reveals this as the date of the Armageddon or the final battle between good and evil as well as Judgment Day.
It is expected that in the coming time as we approach D-Day, that more religious figures will speak up and lift the secrecy well kept by institutes such as the Vatican.
Reason #5 � Most Powerful Volcano on Earth
The largest volcano on earth is located underneath the Yellowstone National Park in the United States which is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. This fact has gotten geological experts very nervous and the reason for sleepless nights ever since it was linked to the upcoming events in 2012. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting approximately every 650,000. Currently we are many years past the due date for a new major eruption, which in itself is rather bizarre since the cyclic events of the planet are usually pretty accurate and thus predictable. An new explosion will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. Such a new Ice Age is due when looking at the usual cycles of Earth. And what is most alarming is that the pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.
Reason #6 – The Physicists
Physicists at Berkeley University in the United States who use super computers to complete their highly complex formulas and calculations have been crunching the numbers and they�ve concluded as well that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Their calculations prove beyond any doubt that if and when this catastrophe happens, it will impact every living being on Earth and basically wipe away entire species as we know them today. What is really scary about their calculations is the fact that they are pretty much convinced, with a certainty of 99% that all of this will come down very soon and that the best guess date is�2012.
Reason #7 � Polar Shift
The magnetic field surrounding Earth shields us from most of the sun�s radiation. This is generally know, yet what is less known is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a habit of swapping places approximately every 750,000 years. Right the cycle is overdue by about 30,000 years.
Furthermore, scientific research has shown that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20 to 30 kilometers every year, which is much faster than ever before, and which points to a pole-shift being very nearby. During the process of a pole shift, the magnetic field is disrupted until it disappears. Sometimes it is absent for up to 100 years. As a result, there is sufficient UV radiation in the air to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

Large Hadron Collider – The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva – Risks?
As the LHC should be ready for firing at full power at some point in the near future, I was wondering what the implications might be if something went wrong with the machine. I've heard theories ranging anything from the ultimate collapse of the space-time continuum and physics as we know it, to all of the quantum interference of a mosquito farting. Does anyone have an opinion on the LHC's risks and possible negative effects? Many thanks for your time.
Those theories aren't based on science. They have as much validity as the 2012 nonsense, and they've been replacing 2012 here in the last few weeks. In fact, some trolls seem to have set up accounts specifically for the purpose of asking "Is the LHC gonna end the world?" a couple of times a day.
There aren't any risks. The energies and more occur routinely in the upper atmosphere as natural processes every day. And the upper atmosphere has not created any black holes or ended the world so far as I know.
The largest risk is that some idiot paranoid crazy people try to destroy the LHC, causing incredible dollar amounts of damage and hurting people operating it. This will infuriate scientists and people who use logic around the globe, starting a war between people who use science and people who don't. Of course, the people who use science have created every weapon and communications system in the world, so they will win. Without moron conspiracy theorists around there will be no impediments to scientific progress and a wonderful new world will come about.
So that's the biggest risk to you conspiracy people.
Particle Beams – Particle Beams Sending Specs of Dust Back in Time
Can a particle beam under the right conditions send specs of dust back into time? The answer is yes this could be possible under the right conditions, even more far out is the idea of sending dust to a set of coordinates in a region in four dimensions or a point in the atmosphere to start a cloud formation or make rain, or a huge dust cloud to shield top secret weaponry during prototype tests in the middle of a war. If you can send particles somewhere or through space to a certain coordinate or into a different time or onto another planet. You could actually terra form Mars or a distant world before you got there by sending the seeds of life to get started.
Think of it this way we are working on send in frequencies through area to other areas by bouncing them off rock or harder substances. And we have learned we can create weather both long range and years into the future with ELF. If you could send into the areas of a Plague periods of the past a biological pathogen that feed upon the Plague but did not hurt humans then you could stop the Plague from killing so many people. Would that mean people would immediately start to exist everywhere? Maybe, wouldn’t that be cool or maybe…No, you would have created a separate possible future. The terra forming aspects are quite interesting and relevant;
[http://www.spacetoday.org/SolSys/Mars/MarsSolSysExplore.html]
Also if there was a problem that you knew of in the past you could send in the cure to achieve wonderful results. But we are aware of the possibility of sending frequencies in time thus the movie Frequency that did an okay job discussing the theory. But maybe the theory is not too far off in our present abilities to unlock the process. If you are sending a particle beam which is using a light wave to transport the beam containing the particles then you can slow the beam, bend the beam, or send the beam anywhere you wish, the problem is power and wavelength needed and many other very complicated mathematical equations, but it would seem not as difficult as once thought knowing our current technology.
http://members.tripod.com/~MikeNight/time.html
Now if we could send back in time the things we know or if we receive the things we know from those sending thoughts back in time to those who are able to receive such thoughts, open minded ness, similar frequency on the brain to pick up the ELF signals. Or those who have purposely gone out of their way to receive such data then, we as the human race could continually receive needed information due to the fact our brains have adapted to do so. Now then in deep thought of 1-4 hertz and ungrounded brain such as that in space, air or soaring in a balloon would pick up thoughts and ELF better since their antenna, brain was not grounded, it would work better for sending signals and collecting certain data transmission sent by quark or anti-quark from future time periods. Such is the possibilities of certain wavelengths and frequencies in various realms of the spectrum of light and other soon to be recognized scientific data we now call paranormal. Is it paranormal? Probably not and it also might not be as weird as once thought. Such signals sent out before could pass to us in the future or we could intercept occasionally by plugging into or listening or attempting to receive such data.
Should we do this? Yes, it appears that the linear time we appear to so easily understand is more difficult a concept to comprehend than the fact that all time is one time and we are also living and thinking in all time periods simultaneously having only the foresight to see and touch what we believe to be present time. Time is a very cool concept. When people ask are you living in the past, present or future, you answer should be YES> Yes We are. We because if we are all living in all time then we are actually all one since we are made up of DNA parts of the entire and we are all related to the original of past and accumulation of the future. If we or an individual of we makes a certain action it affects all time yes past too. Since past and present and future are all one. Which is actually a much simpler concept and easier to comprehend than the questions so many wish to ask such as and so many religions attempt to answer without leaving loose ends where they might actually have to prove it, good book to read is the “God Gene”, oh here are those quesitons;
“Where did I come from”
“How did the world Start”
“What will happen to me when I die” and
“What will happen to the world when it ends”
Why do all religions move to answer these questions? Whether we understand the answers or not, or whether we choose to recognize it or not, we seem to innately need more answers, so then for piece of mind: Is it proper to communicate with the past and future? Should we tempt fate, will we believe what we find? Well in a way we already communicate thru time in a way. After all we live, have lived or will live in the present, past and future and whereas that does not span all that much in a linear time sense it still is living in and thru time. So may as well learn more and help us move forward as one. This is way off tangent from the original mind exercise of the theory of moving dust through time, or is it? Well the fact is we have questions and we seek answers and we have the technology to move into other dimensions now, so should we move to the nect step and seek the answers, do we dare? Does our society so depend on certain truths that we don’t dare? Are we confident enough in our beliefs to prove ourselves right? Wrong? Then what? Does society break down? Or do we as a species grow?
If you can move dust particles maybe you can move nano particles and thus move organic or building blocks through time to a place of your choosing. Move DNA, RNA, Nano-Devices to another place and another time to start life with the same components you wish to promote, ah ha so are we someone else’s experiment thru time, terra forming, a part of another. Sending instructions of how to form life to a place life will flourish one of Saturn’s Moons with water ice or under the surface of Mars where water exists does not take the capability of sending thru time, only to a near planet. If we can do this should we try for a greater distance or different time or is it “all relative” anyway and we are trapped here in linear time only because we have not broken the code yet? Will super computers and quantum mechanics allow us the next-step.
Perhaps local solar system moons with volcanic heat coming from the moon’s or planet’s interior or from a Sun near a planet is a good place to start or practice this concept since many exist in the similar fashion as Earth with similar ratios of elements. They may not contain the exact components that make up our atmosphere, but certainly enough to support some sort of life similar to our current DNA or current DNA we can find here on Earth. After all, human DNA and Wheat DNA are quite similar. But it is life as we know it and we could send such anywhere we want to, if we chose to and if we feel it appropriate to from an ethics standpoint. If people could throw away their notions of ugly and pretty based on their current perception from their viewpoint of how their eye sight and brain interpret beauty or substance then it might be easier and with proper understanding it is possible, sure we love blue rivers and blue sky, green forests, yet is that so important to negate the possibilities of suitable other worlds? We are missing the best part of reality when we deny ourselves to study and open our minds to the data before us. Regarding all the conspiracy theories of this
[http://phoenix.akasha.de/~aton/TG-ELF.html]
this is all fun and games, but the reality of this technology can really open the human mind to a much needed boost of input. And allow us harmony with all species and understanding of who we are and why we are here. Open your mind and vote for more research spending on these things. Think of a system set up to allow you to receive and email from a family member in the future or being able in the future to send and receive emails from the future, describing the future and warning about the future. Pretty cool. Think of this in the realm of 5000 years in the future and arrange meetings to visit it. This will be possible within the next 100 years or less at the rate of new technology discoveries.
What are the possibilities in the here and now for such incredible data and knowledge? Think in the future you could meet the past twenty generations of your family ask them questions and they you. Wouldn’t they be proud of you and wouldn’t it make you want to not let them down. Perhaps this might be the future of the village it takes to raise a child, you correctly. This has been a twilight zone thought of the day. What say you?
Protons Energy – What happens to the energy when 2 protons collide head-on and 100s of particles fly out in all directions?
If you are talking about particle accelerators, a lot happens to the energy. Since the protons have so much kinetic energy when they collide, they don’t simply stay as protons. They turn into 100′s of particles, also moving quickly. Since E = mc^2, we don’t need to conserve just mass or just energy. In fact, if we total the mass times c^2 and the energy of all these particles, we would get the original two protons’ energy.
The resulting shower of particles then goes and hits or bounces off other things, which equipment in the particle accelerator is designed to detect, since it heats the equipment up ever so slightly. The rest just fly off until they decay into something stable.
Big Bang Machine – Will the big bang machine or black hole machine destroy the world in 2010?
i mean ive been going crazy about 2012 and this site has helped me a lot about what the calender means so uh well thanks a lot guys but well i searched black hole machine and someone said they will launch next year in 2012 in september? please help me undertsand im so confused and scared all the time.
You’re probably talking about the scare-stories some people are throwing around about the Large Hadron Collider, a new and very high energy accelerator.
That seems to be the latest thing every time there’s a new higher-energy accelerator experiment planned. “OMG OMG they’re going to make a black hole and destroy the earth” or “OMG OMG they’re going to re-create the Big Bang and destroy the earth”. None of this has any actual basis in physics, it’s just half-baked misunderstandings based on misreadings of something from the press releases.
Then the experiment happens and the scare stories subside. Then there’s a new accelerator experiment planned and it starts all over again.
This is all just as unscientific and nonsensical as the 2012 stuff. The difference is that there are a couple of people with scientific background who apparently appear on these scare sites. However, their scientific background tends to be in non-physics fields such as botany. They don’t know any more about the physics than the average layman.
No.

Lhc – Quarks, Big Bang and Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
People are curios. Curiosity is one of the key elements that drives humanity towards the answers about our existence and our future. Since ancient times people have asked themselves about the origins of everything. From universe to the basic elements of the matter. Some people many thousands years ago assumed that if you divide some piece of matter this division must come to an end. This process should end with the basic, indivisible elements that constitute matter–atoms.
In the last centuries many experiments have confirmed that the matter is indeed consisted of some small particles. Scientific approach has contributed to the discovery of various natural and synthetic substances, molecules, chemical elements and atoms. Atoms, once believed to be indivisible, were also found to have some hard nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. Then it was discovered that the atom nucleus is consisted of protons and neutrons. So the atoms are divisible. This fact had many consequences. One of them with the most notable effect is fission nuclear bomb. However, the division story didn’t end there. Protons and neutrons were also found to contain some smaller particles–quarks.
Currently the list of all elementary particles is pretty long. This list is part of the Standard model–a model of how everything exists and interacts. It is believed that this model is not the final picture of the universe. There are still some unanswered questions. On the other hand, the universe itself is a subject of investigation. One of the key discoveries was that the universe is expanding. From this fact we can conclude that in the past the universe was smaller. The more we go into the past, the smaller it was. Sooner or later we come to the moment in time where the universe was infinitely small. This is called the Big Bang–the moment when the universe started to develop as we know it today, some 13.7 billion years ago. This is now the leading theory about the evolution of the universe. It is still unknown what banged, how and why.
The latest project to find some missing answers is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN, Geneva. It is a giant ring 100 meters under ground where two beams of particles close to light speed will collide. Each collision will produce an enormous amount of other particles. Analysis of this debris will hopefully answer some questions about the nature of particles or even bring some new ones. Because of enormous collision energy (about 14 TeV) the circumstances will be close to the situation immediately after big bang. The LHC project is currently the largest and the most expensive scientific project.
Answering questions about micro and macro world will not only satisfy our curiosity but will also help us to understand the world. If we understand the world then we can make it better. And better world is a dream of everybody.
