On Tuesday, March 27, 2007, there was a devastating explosion deep in the tunnel at the CERN particle accelerator complex that actually blew a 20 ton magnet right off its mountings. The explosion filled the tunnel with helium and forced a mass evacuation of the facility.
While the facility was supposed to go online during the summer of 2007, the new startup is tentatively summer of 2008 after 17 miles of magnets have been repaired or replaced. This explosion, to those of us who count ourselves among the worried masses, appears to be an ominous foreshadowing of what could eventually become the Second-Coming of the Big Bang...
Even Dr. Lyn Evans, who heads the accelerator project at CERN, said the explosion had been potentially very dangerous. "There was a hell of a bang, the tunnel housing the machine filled with helium and dust and we had to call in the fire brigade to evacuate the place," he said. "The people working on the test were frightened to death but they were all in a safe place so no-one was hurt."
An investigation by the researchers found that basic math flaws had caused the explosion -- which gives one pause in contemplating how much faith can bestowed upon 6,000 scientists who can overlook basic math mistakes. Not only was this mistake made in the original design phase, but it was also missed on four engineering reviews carried out over a period of four years. The director of Fermilab, Pier Oddone, blithely wrote about the disaster stating that they had caused "a pratfall on the world stage". A pratfall ? Should these Keystone-scientists be entrusted with the fate of the world in their hands? source

That write up has almost put me off coming to this site, keystone scientists? UNBELIEVABLE and to think that this site is dedicated to the best science tech of all, UFO's.....
Do you think you would be able to post that write up if CERN never existed in the first place?

Hey... maybe there will be something going on there in 2012 ;)
Ok lets stop kidding and return to the topic of UFOs. There is one question that comes to my mind concerning scientific experiments with potentially devastating and earth destructing results...
If there are some alien entities or species watching us and if they do really have intercepted/destructed and/or disabled some nuclear missiles to prevent us from self-anihilation as some vids on this site are claiming - won't they prevent us from further mischief?
The question is: can we probably put faith in alien super-civilisations watching over us. (As people have done a few thousand years by putting their fait into god or a god?)
I know it sounds pretty much neo pseudo religious - But its only a thougt...

Hey guys. I think that NASA announcement is about finding a type of matter in the universe they've been looking for. Not dark matter, but another kind that represents the minority of "stuff" the universe is made of. It's about 2.3 billion lights years away and they have pictures. Pretty sure that's it. Amazing news though! So fascinating:)
Good for NASA
But shouldent u have postet under the NASA link instead?? ;) doh
Oh what lol. You think I made it up? I'm just saying because the European space agency (or something) just did a press release about it a couple days ago. Mentionned "X-Ray" and ah.. mystery matter. That kind of thing.
What has NASA got to do with the LHC at CERN?
