Note to Readers: Usually we publish the Q & A feature Wednesdays, but just as we were getting going we started playing around with the charts for this brand spankin’ new atom smasher and got obsessed. Look for the Q & A on Thursday. Second Note to Readers: The LHC written about below appears to have been started one hour late. We are verifying the time and will make some revised comments about the chart in later blogs and the Friday edition. The chart below is for the stated, planned time of the event, which in most historical events is always a meaningful chart. Third Note to Readers: New Scientist magazine is reporting that the collider did indeed start at 9:30 am, so at this point, our chart remains accurate with the Sombrero Galaxy in the ascendant. There is a really cool video at the New Scientist link.
Dear Friend and Reader:
What the heck is the Large Hadron Collider? And why has Steve Hawking bet $100 that it’s not going to work, even though it cost between $6 billion and $8 billion dollars? (Oh, if you think that’s a lot, it cost less than one month of the United States’ war in Iraq.)
The Large Hadron Collider is this 17-mile tunnel located near Geneva, Switzerland 568 feet under the ground. It’s a very fancy atom smasher, four times more powerful than most other atom smashers. These are used to make new compounds, discover different kinds of subatomic particles and are places where scientists have a heck of a lot of very fun.
Scientists are looking for the Higgs boson, or the “God particle,” which we prefer to think of as the Goddess particle. Why would that be? Because (though it has not been discovered yet) it’s believed to give mass to every other kind of atomic particle, including itself. It’s kind of the Missing Mother of Matter; the cosmic Alma Mater. From what I am reading, the science guys are trying to recreate the Big Bang in a 17-mile very dangerous metal test tube. The machine will have to run for a while before they know if they will see God or maybe Goddess, so we won’t know tomorrow. It takes a while for the thing to speed up. It will eat a lot of power. The electric bill won’t be in for a while.
It’s being described as “the most complex scientific experiment ever undertaken,” and it started at 9:30 am local time. It has a chart. That chart (cast for the stated, planned time of the startup, 9:30 am local time) has a Venus, Mercury and Mars conjunction rising in Libra. One funny thing that jumps right out is how the ascendant of this chart is one degree away from the degree rising in the chart for the Sept. 11, 2001 false flag attacks. (Mercury is rising in this chart, and was also rising in the Sept. 11 chart). The Mercury-Mars conjunction (which feels a little like a particle collision) is in the exact degree of the Sept. 11 ascendant; one of those odd, meaningless, synchronicities. This all has a violent feeling and for sure it is violent; it’s a particle smasher.
