Cern's Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider as a time machine? According to a physics professor and his assistant, the world’s largest atom smasher could indeed allow people to travel back in time.

Theoretical? To be sure. But they say it’s theoretically possible.

“Our theory is a long shot, but it doesn’t violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints,” said Vanderbilt University physicist, Tom Weiler, in a statement.

Weiler and Vanderbilt graduate fellow Chui Man Ho, outline their theory in a paper on a site operated by Cornell.

The atom smasher, which began operations last year, was built, in part, to help scientists in their search for the elusive Higgs boson, part of an invisible force field believed to give mass to particles in the cosmos. Nobody has ever actually observed the Higgs boson in an experiment to confirm the theory that was put forward by physicists Peter Higgs, Robert Brout and Francois Englert.

Weiler and Ho suggest that if the LHC can reproduce a Higgs boson, it will also be able to produce a related particle, called the Higgs singlet, at the same time. This is the crucial ingredient as they theorize that these singlets would serve as jumping off points with the ability to move into other dimensions, moving across time.

This short film is about a piece of footage I (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film ‘The Circus’. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA – the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device – talking as she walks alone.

I have studied this film for over a year now – showing it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what she is doing.

My only theory – as well as many others – is simple… a time traveler on a mobile phone. See for yourself and feel free to leave a comment on your own explanation or thoughts about it.

Hadron Collider

Scientists claim the giant atom-smashing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being jinxed from the future to save the world.

In a bizarre sci-fi theory, Danish physicist Dr Holger Bech Nielsen and Dr Masao Ninomiya from Japan claim nature is trying to prevent the LHC from finding the elusive Higgs boson. Called the “God particle,” the theoretical boson could explain the origins of mass in the universe — if physicists can find the darn thing.

The scientists say their math proves nature will “ripple backward through time” to stop the LHC before it can create the God particle, like a time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.

“One could even almost say that we have a model for God,” Dr Nielsen says in an unpublished essay. “He rather hates Higgs particles, and attempts to avoid them.”

What is it? Where is it? When is it? (Shareware)

Until his relativistic views emerged as the new physics of the 20th century and beyond, scientists, thinkers and science fiction writers let the human imagination run wild with the most elusive phenomena in the universe – time. But what is it? Where is it? When is it?

The space-time continuum described by Einstein is four dimensional.

The three dimensions of space include width, breadth and depth, which can all be measured. The fourth dimension is time, which we cannot see or touch. Time is experienced.

In Search of Time

I just started this book so hopefully this will hold you over until I post my review.

The passage of time is one of the things with which we are instinctively, unthinkingly comfortable; and yet when pressed to describe what time actually is, we are as flummoxed now as we ever were.

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said you could never step in the same river twice – and was promptly corrected by some smartypants who pointed out that you can never step in the same river once. David Bowie put it more straightforwardly. ‘Time may change me,’ he sang, ‘but I can’t trace time.’

We think of time as travelling (already a spatial metaphor): but travelling relative to what?

We agree that it passes. But at what speed? One second per second? We commonly think of it as a property that obtains throughout the universe – Newton certainly did, at least, and his is the instinctive position to take. But Einstein demonstrated that it’s all stirred up with space (‘time is now everywhere’, in the context of general relativity, isn’t such a daft thing to say), and it goes slower the faster you travel.

The Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, currently the world-record time-traveller, is living proof. After 800 days whipping round the Earth in the Mir space station, he is one fiftieth of a second into the future.

We think that the past has happened and the future hasn’t. But that’s not necessarily true either – at least not according to the maths.

And here, in his breezy canter through the science and culture of time, Falk plunges us into the mysterious and mind-stretching worlds of string theory and brane-worlds (a branch of cosmology that, in a pleasing evocation of Plato, suggests that our universe is just a three-dimensional shadow cast in a four-dimensional ‘bulk’) and quantum mechanics.

Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, best-selling author, and co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory) discusses the possibility of time travel.

Spacetime wormhole

The ability to travel back in time, though entirely hypothetical, isn’t explicitly forbidden by our current understanding of space and time, embodied in the general theory of relativity. Time travel tends to play havoc with other laws of physics, however, and in the 29 May Physical Review Letters researchers report another example. They show that data encryption systems relying on quantum principles can be broken by allowing the data stream to interact with a quantum state that travels back in time. This scenario doesn’t present an immediate threat to information security, the authors assert. Rather, it’s an example of the kind of contradiction that any unified theory of quantum mechanics and gravity will have to resolve.

A closed timelike curve (CTC) is a looping path that connects back on itself by going forward then backward in time. A CTC might rely on a spacetime wormhole, for example, that connects a place and time in the future with another location at some earlier time. Regardless of whether such paths exist, they raise awkward questions, notably the “grandfather paradox” in which a person goes back in time and kills an immediate ancestor.

Alright, I wasn’t even through my first gulp of my scorpian bowl (a big bowl of booze at a Chinese restaurant for you unsophisticated drinkers) the other night when my ears perked up to a conversation in the booth behind me. A woman was telling her friends about the recent discovery of another beached Montauk monster. And from the sound of her voice she was really excited and going into detail about the incident to her buddies. Now obviously I don’t know if she knew about the previous case which that space-pig-alien-looking thing turned out to be your average raccoon. But, it got me thinking about the big story that every once an a while I would stumble upon, the story of the Montauk Project. This is a story so grandiose, I think on some levels it actually makes Roswell, Area 51, and alleged underground base at Dulce look more like Little Red Riding Hood. I mean I’m telling ya, you throw in the smoke monster, sprinkle in a little Benjamin Linus and Dharma Initiative  and you got yourself one hell of a final season of Lost.

Camp Hero SAGE Radar

The Montauk Project is allegedly spawned from the infamous Philadelphia Experiment, where in 1943 the USS Eldridge was made invisible not only to radar but to the human eye using electromagnetic shielding and get this, supposedly went back in time. Seeing the potential as a military application the original scientists involved wanted to continue there study and investigate the possibility of manipulating the magnetic field as a psychological warfare device. The only problem was that they realized in order to study this type of stuff, it would need to be studied secretly. They also needed access to technically advanced radar equipment. So they set up shop at Camp Hero, a decommissioned naval base in Montauk, New York, complete with a SAGE radar installation. Located right on the ocean, this would allow undetected, incoming supplies and equipment. After all their equipment was installed and the 12-level underground base set up, the surface of Camp Hero was shut down and donated to to the state, giving the appearance of an innocent state wildlife refuge and park.

Now what happens next has got to be some of the most amazing paranormal activity in history. And that’s if even a quarter of it’s true, because there isn’t any proof to back any of it up other than a few people who say they were part of the experiments. A special chair that had been codesigned by aliens known as Sirians, plus technology developed by Nikola Tesla was set up under the SAGE radar system for mind control experiments. These experiments became so advanced that when a psychic would be used in the chair they would be able to physically make their thoughts manifest. On one such occasion a bigfoot-like creature was manifested and to this day supposedly runs around causing problems on the property. Oh and it’s also rumored that the chair opened a portal where someone could either travel back in time or go to a base on mars. Not bad huh? It gets better. Many of the personnel in the base were Reptilian, working right along side with humans. Lunch breaks must’ve been interesting. Now here’s the best part, and I only recently heard this but now some are saying that Tesla, yes, the Nikola Tesla, faked his own death and actually ran the original experiments as director of operations.

To this day people claiming to be witness and victims of the project, still say the operation continues underground. Urban explorers have supposedly found electrical meters on the surface with electrical readings for entire cities. Other people have been confronted by military personnel while trying to get into the property. If anything, it’s one of those stories that will only get more fantastic. Especially if I keep drinking these scorpian bowls.
