Have you heard of CERN? What about the Large Hadron Collider? My guess is probably not unless you're a tech saavy individual who surfs the Net regularly. That's because the mainstream media has virtually
ignored this story.
For a simple case study, ask your friends and family if they know what this is all about. I'm willing to bet you'll get the same puzzled looks and the same "who cares?" type of comments.
It's the world’s largest and most costly physics experiment located 300 feet below ground outside Geneva, Switzerland with a track that's 17 miles long.
By creating the environment that existed just prior to and just after the Big Bang, they hope to uncover secrets about the universe, life, and our existence and are even hoping to find what they call the "God particle" (isn't that ironic?).
As astute students of prophecy have been aware of for several months now, there is a legitimate concern that this type of machine and its subsequent "experiment" could have some unpredictable and catastrophic effects on our natural environment.
In fact, some consider such things so serious that they even launched a lawsuit against the European organization that's responsible, but you probably didn't read about that in your Sunday newspaper either.
One of those concerns is that this type of event could create a massive black hole. Yes, black holes are scientific fact - not fiction - so that possibility makes me somewhat glad that this will be taking place in Europe and not here. But what about an untold number of other unknown possibilities? What if something goes wrong? What if something goes right? I mean, just because we can envision doing something doesn't necessarily mean that we should unless we know for sure what we could be getting ourselves into.
Oh, did I mention that as an "observer country" the U.S. has contributed a total amount in taxpayer money of $531 million? Money well spent?
When is this test supposed to take place? September 10th. On September 10th, researchers will activate particle beams within the 17-mile-long ring, and the world’s most powerful particle accelerator will begin collecting experimental data. Beams of hydrogen protons will whizz around in opposite directions until, bent by powerful superconducting magnets, they will smash together in four bus-sized detector chambers, where they will be annihilated at temperatures hotter than the sun.
Recently, we learned that it was the bloggers and underground press who scooped the John Edwards story long before the mainstream media got on-board. My feeling is that this is simply another case of the mainstream media failing in their mandate to keep the public informed on matters that should be important to us.
The only question that remains is whether or not we'll wish they had warned us in advance. Of course, we know what the Bible has to say about these end times so any ill effects of such an event would not mean the end of the world as we know it.
However, it could very well become just another stepping stone that puts us that much closer to the end. Let's pray that that's not the case. Don't risk putting off a decision that you can make today.
