Is the world going to end this Saturday?

BBC Radio 4 will broadcast live from CERN on 10 September.

The Big Bang Day starts in the LHC control room at 0830 BST for the official start-up, and then continues through the day with related programmes, from indepth discussions about particle physics to a special one-off radio version of the popular TV drama Torchwood.



CERN lab set for beam milestone

By Paul Rincon

A vast physics experiment - the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - reaches a key milestone this weekend ahead of an official start-up on 10 September.

Engineers had previously brought a beam of protons - tiny, sub-atomic particles - to the "doorstep" of the LHC.

On 9 August, protons will be piped through LHC magnets for the first time.

The most powerful physics experiment ever built, the LHC will re-create the conditions present in the Universe just after the Big Bang.

Well, Saturday has come and gone, and we're still here--unfortunately. I'm tired and just want to go HOME!

(((Sorry Jon-Marc))) you don't get to go till He says so. You just have to run the race well

This Saturday the most advanced scientific instrument ever built will be switched on in Geneva.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been built to test current theories for particle physics and scientists will try and recreate the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang by smashing parts of atoms together at high speeds.

When activated the collider could show one of the most elusive particles in our Universe, the Higgs boson, also called the "God particle". This observation could confirm the Standard Model of physics unifying three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out just gravity.

However, other more dangerous particles will also be produced for which searches are planned, such as black holes, and never seen before particles of matter, and even now, the architects of what is being termed a "Doomsday" machine, the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab, the National Science Foundation and CERN are being sued in federal court over fears that this experiment may in fact destroy the planet.

Also our old friend Nostradamus’ words ring from the grave with this grim prediction:

Nostradamus quatrain 9 44:

Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturn will be converted from gold to iron,
"Raypoz" will exterminate all who oppose him,
Before the coming the sky will show signs.

Did Nostradamus predict the Large Hadron Collider? Will the Earth disappear into a black hole of its own making?

This was taken from the Virginmedia website.

Any comments?

Its ok I asked the angels throw a spanner in the works, if the Hadron collider trys to do a quantum inversion.

Plump your pillows and rest easy.

It is not scheduled to take place until September 10th!

I thought I was the only one who has been following the progression of this massive experiment. Scientist agree that with this current technology, there is no way the earth would survive more than 50 years due to the vast power of this new physics. From what I understand, it makes the atom bomb look like a cap gun.

I believe Jesus will intervene in our behalf before it gets too ugly.....but technology has taken a serious turn for the worse in terms of the welfare of earth.

[Jon-Marc]

Whatever happens, those of us who put our trust in Jesus Christ have no need to worry. I may not know the future, but I know Who holds the future.

According to the Bible there is still the 1000 year reignm of the Lord before the world ends. But we will be looking on from above.

The bible says 2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

The AV says the earth shall melt with fervent heat. Whether it is God who does this or one of man's projects gone wrong is open to speculation.

[IS IT I ?]

theres going to be a meeting in the AIR wouldn't it be cool if the LORD came back got us tonight

Yes that would be cool but I don't think our job is done quite yet, spreading his word.
