Stephen Hawking and the Burden of Intelligence (CERN & Higgs Boson Risk)
I wanted to point out something that was posted to Yahoo! News yesterday or last week (I think).
(Sir?) Stephen Hawking is under fire for some recent comments regarding the Higgs Boson. He said that given the proper conditions, which in his mind equates to the necessity of an engine larger than Earth, the Higgs Boson could become "meta-stable" (music of the spheres would stop in other words!) and the entire observable Universe as we know it would collapse in an instant of nihilistic terror.
Few years ago I had a 'cog moment, wrote a very long thread detailing my sudden fear of the Uranverein mission, the engines of CERN, the nature of the universe and perhaps even the delicacy of the God Particle. When asked to cite my source, my answer made no sense, I said I believed "radiation from a black hole carried the information to me"...
now if that is not the craziest thing you've ever heard.
Except for the fact that recently Mr Hawking DID admit that information, although disorganized, can indeed escape from a black hole and you need the right type of quantum computer to re-organize and use it, if I recall and interpret him correctly. So some believe the info is useless whereas those who believe in the quantum mind theory find it very useful indeed. They say after all that Kronos never forgets, and what better time keeper than the Perfect One, he who devours all only to breath life into the novel. Not Saturn but rather that all-consuming force, the gatekeeper, who keeps the entrance in and out of Restau.
Many of you are familiar with the recently deceased Madeleine L'Engle. She wrote the extremely famous "A Wrinkle in Time", the first earth-shattering book in the Time Quartet series. In this book, the author dealt with concepts that were far beyond the time in which she lived -- things that only people at CERN or similar labs should know. Things about time travel, similar to the claims of Andrew Basiago. It may be no accident that both of these people saw a special meaning in the symbol of the Pegasus. That which is noble and transcends the material, even the limits enforced by perceived time.
L'Engle referenced a group of entities whom she called the Echthroi, a greek word meaning "destroyers", those who bring nothing. The soul of the void.
She also referred to a phenomenon useful to space travel, calling it a "tesseract", and says "There IS such a thing as a tesseract", leading readers into the depths of the first novel.
Personally I've wondered if she received some sort of visitation. With the distinction of having seen the future with her own eyes instead of simply hearing the echoes cast by more important others. She was not only a seer but a true scientist. One who understands.
Mr Hawking started this journey from the other side of the road. His approach was materialistic, literal, and his concerns remain rooted in the material and literal.
I suppose what I am asking is, does Mr Hawking fully understand the implications of a machine that not only has the potential to tear the sky, but to harness the fire of a star in a remote place in order to do this terrible thing.
Mr Hawking might not understand how possible it is to destroy everything in sight with a careless word. Too late, it seems, has he begun to understand the great threat and burden of knowing just precisely what it takes to unmake the universe.
Now perhaps he will appreciate the passages in the bible which talk about the universe rolling away like a scroll in its entirety. passing away. Reality will be shed like the skin of a snake.
my hat is off to this great man with whom I have contended for years, insisting that not only does God exist in our universe but is also fragile...
"many who live deserve death, and many who die deserve life -- can you give it to them?" ~JRR Tolkien
I have bashed Mr Hawking so fiercely only to take my hat off for him in the twilight of his life.
