"Some high ranking Scientists have been caught on audio discussing the fact that LHC will probably be of such all fucking significance that year counts BC and AD will be followed by PC... Post Collission... and they have already speculated, in depth, like with graphs and scenarios and long boggling equations and shit like that, that 2009 could actually be year 1PC.
Now THAT scares the merry fuck out of me. They;ve been silenced, the story buried, and no coverage has been given since, but I caught it on the BJS online."Continue

Hench, thats it. 2009 is rumoured to be 1PC... potentially, which either shows how far we've come scientifically (ie we can now command things of this universe which are of equal, or greater significance than God's own son walking the earth), or how far removed we are from a religious mindset (ie that we can dare to liken a giant scalectrix under a mountain as somehow being of equal, if not greater significance to God's son walking the earth).
The story got 404'd within minutes. See you in 1PC, maybe.

A giant particle accelerator that mimicks the effects of the "Big Bang" could destroy all life on Earth by sucking it into a black hole, a lawsuit claims.
Walter Wagner, who runs a botanical garden on Hawaii's Big Island, and Luis Sancho, a Spaniard, have asked for an injunction to prevent the European Centre for Nuclear Research, or Cern, starting up the Large Hadron Collider.
A scientist works at the Cern's Large Hadron Collider
Physicists hope that the £4 billion device will provide clues to the universe's originsThe accelerator, which will be the world's most powerful particle smasher, is due to begin hurling protons at each other at its base outside Geneva this summer.
Physicists hope that the device, which has taken 14 years and £4 billion to build, will provide clues to the universe's origins by mimicking its condition a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.
Although Cern scientists have already ruled out the possibility in a safety review, Mr Wagner and Mr Sancho say there is at least a small chance of total annihilation of the planet and maybe the universe.
They claim Cern has under-played the chances that the collider could produce a tiny black hole or a particle called a "killer strangelet" that would turn the Earth into a shrunken lump of "strange matter".
Their lawsuit, filed in the Federal District Court in Honolulu, seeks a temporary restraining order banning Cern from finishing the accelerator until it has produced a safety report and an environmental assessment.
Defendants named in the suit are Cern, the US Department of Energy, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the National Science Foundation. The US Justice Department said it would represent the Energy Department at a meeting over the lawsuit in Hawaii in June.
Cern is not bound by an American court's jurisdiction, but Mr Wagner said a restraining order on Fermilab and the Energy Department, which helped to supply the accelerator's crucial super-conduction magnets, would be enough to stop the programme.
A spokesman for Cern said the lawsuit's claims were "complete nonsense". "Much higher energy collisions than those at the LHC occur in nature, because cosmic ray particles zip around our galaxy at close to the speed of light," he said.
"The moon has undergone such collisions for five billion years without being devoured by a ravenous black hole or killer strangelet."

"Walter Wagner, who runs a botanical garden on Hawaii's Big Island, and Luis Sancho, a Spaniard..."
And what do you do, Walter...
"I run a botancial garden"
and you Luis, what do you do...

I think either they are completely crazy in proceeding with a random experiment that could potentially cause any number of unimaginable consequences.
Or that some power some where knows exactly what it will achieve and it is the deliberate first step towards a paradigm shift in global consciousness eg. time travel/manipulation, dimensional travel/communication, faster than light travel, space warping etc etc
Fascinating but scary if its all genuinely a gamble

Its okay though, becuase some guy, who's a spaniard by trade, is tackling them on our behalf, that right Luis?
"Trust me, I've been a spaniard for twevle years now. I'll stop this crazy thing"
Thank you Luis.

I'm thinking of shutting my studio down and going to live in the hils of Toledo to train with a master Spaniard in the ancient ways of, being, a Spaniard and stuff.
GASPATCHIO!!!!!! HOO! HOO! HOOHAHA!

This stuff is far from a random. Fermilab, the current largest particle accelerator, has been doing this kind of work since the 1960s. The kinds of things they are unearthing with these experiments are significant to physicists and those who interested in the workings of sub-atomic particles, most folks could care less.
I just went on a tour of Fermi a few weeks ago. What is going on down there is beyond me. But I support what they are doing, while I try to grasp the ideas they are researching.
