There are parts of Austria where I can hear a faint “Achtung!” but the rapid fire arms held in a rather threatening pose as you get off the plane in Zurich certainly got my attention.

The Land Before Time— De–CERN–ing the Times
Do modern-day “stargates” built by twenty-first-century man exist? This is where the scientific organization CERN comes in. CERN is an acronym for a now-defunct French scientific committee. The original group disbanded in 1956, just two years after its founding. The organization was folded into its current structure under a much broader coalition of countries. Why keep the name at all? The committee had yet to complete any construction, conduct any experiments, or publish any scientific papers. Tom Horn offers some interesting insight regarding one of the founding members, the renowned German Nobel Laureate physicist, Werner Karl Heisenberg, who reportedly insisted that the original acronym, CERN, remain as the moniker. Why?

Yeah. Know someone bingeing on Stargate, who now believes. Wonder if the series was meant to make us believe and learn or to disbelieve as just another SciFi show?

Interesting story you tell about CERN, and what about all the Blogs here on this website about its experiments?
There is some Truth to the many Sci-Fi series. The movie Stargate and its ending is a bit mind-blowing. Then there were so many TV series about space adventures. Some of us watched the Babylon 5 series. The eerie sensation of the interplay between the Shadows, the Vorlons, and so many other ‘species’. Having a shape-sifter as the head of security for the space station was a clever idea. The whole host of other alien species kept folks hanging on just to discover some Truth of things, which never really materialized in a way that evoked a satisfying reality. If there had been a really good, meaningful ending I would have purchased the DVD set.
Recently wondered if there was a deeper reason Zack Snyder didnt get a chance to finish his Justice League movies?
The tone and general vibe in his 4h version feels really like a metaphor of something happening.
But maybe it was to close to reality for the people in charge.
Watch the end of this clip with the portal if you havent seen the movie.
Or watch the whole movie and look for clues of something real.
But avoid the shorter chopped up version, its really bad.
Its the later released with reshoots that is a masterpiece imo.
Edit: Wanted to add that during filming of the Justice League, Zack Snyders daughter died from “suicide”.
So he took off from the project.
WB then took in Josh Wheadon who got the job to “Finish” the movie.
But many of the actors involved later claimed that Wheadon was a nightmare to work with.
Claims of rasicm, sexual harrasment etc.
So sounds to me that someone had to sabotage the project at any cost.
Luckily Zack Snyder got the chance to salvage the movie.
He was allowed to use his footage and spend around 70mil on reshoots a few years later.
So he was able to release his version later.
Just too close to it all …

The Land Before Time— A Matter of Perspective
(The Land Before Time—PART 17: A Matter of Perspective » SkyWatchTV)
A curious statue of a strange mascot greets everyone who enters the main building of the LHC. It is none other than the goddess Shiva, the Destroyer of Worlds. The thing is, he doesn’t just destroy the world for the sake of destruction. He destroys the world in order to rebuild it, dare I say, in his image. And it is here where you see the hubris of the globe’s mad scientists laid bare. Their goal is to reshape the world, as well as people’s thought processes about life, environment, and a little thing like…God…
The Land Before Time— Why Cern?
The Land Before Time—PART 18: Why Cern? » SkyWatchTV
A chilling YouTube video released in August of 2016 showed nine individuals clad in black robes on the pavement in front of the Shiva statue at the LHC. The angle and sound of the video gave the impression that the person filming was in hiding and unaware of what was about to transpire. Seven of the individuals were in a circle on the edges of the pavement. Two individuals appeared to walk slowly to a stop directly in front of the statue. One of the people took off her robe and lie down on her back on the pavement directly in front of the statue. The other individual brandished what appeared to be a knife, lifted it high over her head, and then plunged it into the prone woman several times. At this time, the person recording the video began to curse and scramble away from the window. The video feed cut. A human sacrifice? Not long after the video’s release, a statement from CERN said that it had been…

A “suprise wobble,” wow that sounds like very advanced and expensive science is needed to study that.
I also like this scene where the Lord of darkness failed his first attempt to conquer earth.
The cgi is choppy, but remember this is a film that got basicly scrapped and then somehow got some scraps to finish the original vision.

Physicists from the LHCb Collaboration at CERN have proved that a subatomic particle called the charm meson can switch into its antiparticle and back again.
Using data collected during the second run of the Large Hadron Collider,
ChatGPT’s explains the significance of this:
The discovery you mentioned, where physicists from the LHCb Collaboration at CERN demonstrated that a subatomic particle called the charm meson can switch into its antiparticle and back again, is significant for several reasons. To understand its importance, let’s break it down:
-
Confirmation of Particle Physics Theories: This discovery provides experimental evidence that supports fundamental theories in particle physics, particularly the theory of quantum field theory and the Standard Model. The Standard Model describes the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. It predicts the existence of particles and their properties, including the behavior of particles and antiparticles. Confirming these predictions is crucial for validating our understanding of the subatomic world.
-
CPT Symmetry: The phenomenon of a particle switching into its antiparticle and vice versa is related to a fundamental concept in particle physics known as CPT (Charge, Parity, and Time) symmetry. CPT symmetry suggests that the laws of physics should be the same for particles and their corresponding antiparticles when you reverse the direction of time. This discovery provides additional evidence for the validity of CPT symmetry, which is a cornerstone of our understanding of particle physics.
-
Rare and Challenging Observation: The charm meson (specifically, the D0 meson) is not only a fundamental particle but also relatively rare and challenging to observe. It has a very short lifetime, which makes it difficult to detect and study. Being able to observe and manipulate such particles is a testament to the incredible precision and capabilities of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the experimental techniques employed by the researchers.
-
Insight into Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry: The behavior of particles and antiparticles is crucial in understanding the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem in the universe. One of the most significant mysteries in cosmology is why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. Discoveries like this one help scientists understand the dynamics of particle-antiparticle transitions, which can shed light on why matter predominates in our universe.
-
Practical Applications: While fundamental research is the primary goal of experiments at the LHC and similar particle colliders, discoveries in particle physics often lead to unexpected practical applications. Understanding the behavior of subatomic particles can have implications for technology and medicine, although it may take time for these applications to emerge.
-
Pushing the Boundaries of Knowledge: Every new discovery in particle physics extends the boundaries of human knowledge. It contributes to a deeper understanding of the universe’s fundamental building blocks and the forces that govern them. These discoveries can inspire future generations of scientists and engineers and drive further scientific inquiry.
In summary, the significance of this discovery lies in its confirmation of fundamental particle physics theories, its support for CPT symmetry, its ability to probe matter-antimatter asymmetry, its technological and scientific implications, and its contribution to the ongoing quest to understand the fundamental nature of the universe. It showcases the power of experimental particle physics and the importance of international collaborations like the LHCb Collaboration at CERN in advancing our knowledge of the subatomic world.
