Is There Anybody Out There?
Dark matter accounts for more than 80 percent of the universe’s mass. Some say it accounts for 95 percent of the universe’s mass. We know what makes up 5 percent of the universe, which is represented by structures we can see, like the galaxies and planets and stars.
In 2010, in a tunnel underneath the Swiss-French border, 20 billion proton particles were literally “smashed” into one other at nearly the speed of light. The machine that made those collisions happen is known as the “Large Hadron Collider” or LHC.
The LHC is held in a 17-mile tunnel 300 feet under the border between Switzerland and France near Geneva. At full power, trillions of subatomic particles also referred to as protons race around the LHC ring well over 11,000 times a second. As mentioned earlier the protons zip through the tunnel at nearly the speed of light.
When the proton beams collide they generate temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the sun. So to keep the ring from burning up, liquid helium chills it to a cool minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit.
The LHC is run by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN. More than 10,000 scientists, engineers and technicians from 80 countries, including the United States, are involved in the experiment(s).
By smashing these particles, scientists had hoped to go back in time to what the world was like a billionth of a second after the universe was created.
One major part of this experiment included the search for the Higgs Boson, a theoretical particle that scientists believe is critical to understanding how the universe functions. The Higgs has also been called the ‘God Particle’.
We know that in the Book of Genesis it states:
Genesis 1:1-2—In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Many years ago when I first read Genesis 1:1-2, I thought that when God created the Heaven and the earth He simply created a handful of unformed and empty mass, and then proceeded to give it form and order in Days 1-6 as mentioned in Genesis 1:3-31. It is true the Earth we know today was formed in the “6 Days of Creation”, but is this the entire history of the origin of our world?
The “Gap Theory”, suggests the angels were created “in the beginning” (Genesis 1:1), rather than during or after the creation week, and that Satan and his angelic (demonic) followers fell prior to Genesis 1:2. Thus, verse 2 can be read as:
…But the earth became (or “had become”) without form, and void”.
In Genesis 1:2 the word ‘deep‘ is “tehome” and means a gigantic mass of ‘raging waters.’ Some Bible experts claim that this is not the flood of Noah which came in Genesis Chapter 7. Where did all this water come from? The word ‘heavens’ in Genesis 1:1 means ‘uplifted waters.’ Was it this water that Satan and his now fallen angels used when they fell to destroy this universe in Genesis 1:1 as well as this earth.
NASA has proven conclusively that Mars, for example, was at one time flooded to some degree with water all over its surface. The same for the moon. Water flowed on the moon in the distant past. All that water eventually evaporated, but the universe shows signs of a great catastrophe. As far as one can go into the universe there is evidence of water even as ice on the moons of Saturn! But let’s get back to the LHC and dark matter….
Also if you read Colossians 1:16 it states:
Colossians 1:16—For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
The Bible says that: the invisible of GOD, turns to visible form His Word in the Creation”…so could it be that when God said, “Let there be light..,” then immediately what scientists aptly refer to as the Higgs boson, or the “God Particle” was created and nuclear fusion took place?
In an atomic explosion matter is turned into radiation. Fission is the breakdown of one material to make another, different material. In the process a great deal of heat and light is also released as a byproduct of that breakdown. Our universe is made of space-time, but that universe exists inside of what one might called the “physical realm”. The physical realm is separate from the other realm known as the “spiritual realm”. The spiritual realm is where God exists as well as the angels, and everything else that is spiritual/supernatural. And it is from this spiritual realm that He reached out and created a new realm, the physical realm.
While parts of the scientific community are wanting to find the “God particle,” others are concerned about the possibility of either creating a tear in the very fabric of space-time or a black hole that could harm the planet. In the past, these experiments were conducted with only a small fraction of the power the collider can generate.
Fast forward from 2010 to 2015 and another attempt to use this colossal machinery is slated to begin this year as the LHC is set for running at almost double the energy of the LHC’s first run. This machine will be fired up to generate a magnetic field that is 100,000 times more powerful than Earth’s! Is it possible that the Large Hadron Collider could open a doorway to an extra dimension and out of this door might something wicked this way comes? Will people come face-to-face with this dark matter??
Scientists want to find out why we are here? What happened in the very beginning? How is it possible that life exists in this universe? They now believe that they finally have the chance to study that in the laboratory by just recreating the conditions as they were at that time. Is this work being conducted at the LHC all about the search for the truth of the universe?
I have always perceived that as we draw closer to the return of the LORD, the veil that separates the spiritual from the natural is rapidly eroding. Perhaps soon people will know if indeed…. is there anybody out there?? Will the results ultimately lead to convincing the masses to believe in Panspermia? 2 Thessalonians 2:11 anyone???
