Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has restarted:

July 4, 2018

Scientists operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have successfully re-started the 27-km-long particle accelerator after its winter hibernation, beginning a new season of data taking for 2018, its seventh year of operation.

The LHC is operated by approximately 10,000 researchers and engineers at CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research), located in Geneva, Switzerland. It accelerates large numbers of protons, one of the particles within the atomic nucleus, to velocities near the speed of light and travelling in opposite directions. …

These recent results from the Large Hadron Collider point both to the correctness of the contemporary understanding of particle physics and also indicate that there is a great deal about nature that we still don’t know. Currently, modern physics understands the properties of subatomic particles very well. However, the theories have yet to incorporate the astrophysical phenomena of “dark matter” and “dark energy,” which make up an estimated 95 percent of the energy density of the Universe. Neither do the current theories describe how gravity operates on a subatomic scale. There is still much work to be done.

Physicists at CERN will play a key role in this. In 2018, they are aiming to gather 20 percent more data than in 2017, involving approximately 6 million billion proton-proton collisions. Next year, a two-year period of maintenance and upgrades will begin, laying the groundwork for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade aiming to increase performance 10-fold by 2025, by increasing the rate of particle interactions. This will improve the statistical analysis of rare interactions and enable the high-precision measurements required to probe further the fundamental laws of nature. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/07/04/cern-j04.html

The LHC project is considered to be the current largest physics project in the world. More upgrades to it are intended:

In 2008, outside Geneva, Switzerland, physicists turned on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator and most expensive science experiment ever devised. For many, the cost and wait were worth it. In 2012, the massive machine detected the Higgs Boson, verifying the last major piece of the Standard Model of physics. But researchers know the Standard Model is not complete, since it ignores things like gravity and dark matter. That’s why, on Friday, construction began on a major upgrade to the LHC, reports Ian Sample at The Guardian, and when it is complete in 2026, the more powerful accelerator may just blow the Standard Model to pieces, or at least add a few wrinkles to the theory. …
Particle physics is one of the more complicated sciences out there. Most people with a semester of chemistry under their belt understand that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. But there’s much more—protons and neutrons are made up of quarks held together by gluons, one of several types of boson. Other elementary particles—those that researchers don’t believe can be divided any further—include six flavors of leptons and the Higgs, known as a scalar boson. Then there are dozens of particles made up of those elementary particles, including hadrons, which are constructed of quarks and gluons, and mesons, made of a quark and anti-quark. …The BBC reports the new upgrade will be called the high-luminosity LHC and it will boost the intensity of those particle beams, increasing the number of collisions by a factor of five or 10. To do that, reports CERN, the agency which runs the LHC, they are adding 130 new powerful magnets that will more precisely control the particle beam, making it more likely that particles will smash into one another. They are also moving some magnets and adding superconducting cables to improve the LHC’s efficiency. All that will result in five to ten times more collisions, meaning volumes more data to study, and that has researchers excited. …Researchers have found “whiffs” of new particles which could upset our current models but a more robust collider would help make more solid detections. Mandelbaum also says it could find new particles that help explain dark matter, prove the existence of new dimensions and explore other deep mysteries in physics.“If the anomalies we see in the LHC at the moment manifest in the next couple of years, which they may well do, what we’ll be looking at with the high luminosity-LHC is the physics underlying those discoveries,” Val Gibson, a professor of physics at Cambridge who works on the collider, tells Sample. “That would turn the standard model on its head. It would be totally groundbreaking.” …

Upgrading the machine means it will be offline for two years beginning in 2019, and again between 2024 and 2026. 06/19/18 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/large-hadron-collider-getting-huge-power-boost-180969394/

Here is information on dark matter from CERN, the group responsible for the Large Hadron Collider project:

Dark matter

Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electromagnetic force. This means it does not absorb, reflect or emit light, making it extremely hard to spot. In fact, researchers have been able to infer the existence of dark matter only from the gravitational effect it seems to have on visible matter. Dark matter seems to outweigh visible matter roughly six to one, making up about 26% of all the matter in the universe. Here’s a sobering fact: The matter we know and that makes up all stars and galaxies only accounts for 4% of the content of the universe! But what is dark matter? One idea is that it could contain “supersymmetric particles” – hypothesized particles that are partners to those already known in the Standard Model. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may provide more direct clues about dark matter.

Many theories say the dark matter particles would be light enough to be produced at the LHC. If they were created at the LHC, they would escape through the detectors unnoticed. However, they would carry away energy and momentum, so physicists could infer their existence from the amount of energy and momentum “missing” after a collision. http://home.web.cern.ch/about/physics/dark-matter

Perhaps dark matter will be used for stealth jets and/or missiles and/or hiding military facilities. I do not believe that all possible uses of it will be peaceful.

The work being done in at the LHC facility is mainly for Europe (CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research) and has destructive potential.

Since the warring Beast of Revelation 13 will be European (check out Europa, the Beast, and Revelation and also watch the YouTube video Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?), I have long felt that the Large Hadron Collider project had major military potential (see Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. Nazarene Books, 2009, p. 85).

Europe is concerned about Russian aggression and the USA’s direction. Europe is moving forward with its space and military plans and few in the USA seem to realize that when it gets enough power, the USA will lose all of its. Specifically notice that the Bible shows that this King of the North will destroy those who are perceived to have the strongest military might and apparently divide up their land:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39).

The “he” above is referring to a European leader called the King of the North in that chapter (Daniel 11:40) and the Beast from the sea in Revelation 13:1-10). The strongest fortresses in the world belong to the USA and to a much lessor extent, its English-speaking allies (for a more detailed explanation of why the USA and its Anglo-allies are involved, as well as the dividing of their lands, please see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel). This passage about the “strongest fortresses” in Daniel 11:39 cannot be referring to the continental Europeans as they support the King of the North, nor can it be referring to the Russians, Chinese, or other Asians as they do not get involved until verse 44 (see also The Eurasian Union, the Kings of the East, and Bible Prophecy).

In the 21st century, it must be a reference to the USA.

Might scientific technology utilized for military purposes be honoring ‘a god of fortresses’? Even if not, the reality is that Europe is starting to take the lead in certain areas of technology that may have military applications. And while Europe may or may not be able to directly use ‘dark matter’ or particles related to it, the more it gains technological prowess, the sooner it will fulfill various prophecies related to its coming future military conquests (Daniel 11:39-43; Revelation 13:4).

The world order is changing, European technology is rising, and the USA will not be able to remain on top indefinitely.

Europe is rising and the LHC project is part of the proof of that.
