World’s Demise In Two Days

There’s a remote chance that the world is going to end this Wednesday. Yep you heard me right. It could be Hasta La Vista, Baby.

(cut to beginning scene of Terminator II that scared the shit out of me in my youth)

As you may remember I reported earlier in the year that a $10 billon dollar particle accelerator dubbed the Large Hadron Collider would soon be activated (or shall I day detonated)? Some folks fear that this contraption may produce black holes that could suck up anything around them (including our quaint little planet). CNN.com reports that these fears had previously prompted legal actions in the U.S and Europe, thus halting the operation of the Large Hadon Collider. That is until…

NOW!

OMG!

(cue a washed up Michael Stipe to center stage please)

*Ahem*

“You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.”

On the whole, I’m not too sure how I feel about the World’s obliteration in two days. Sure, I would have preferred to live a longer more full life, but when I really begin to think about it – I can’t see a reason to keep the whole shebang going on for much longer.

Most of us just stuff our faces full of potato chips and vegetate in front of ‘reality’ television anyway. We bitch and moan about gas prices but don’t really care that the planet is slowly suffocating on its own filth. Instead of embracing free thinking we’ve settled for the less distressing mind-fuck that is religious dogma. We have been indoctrinated into a world-wide economic structure that firmly fist fucks us right in the ass if we ever decide to stray from the system. Do we honestly have anything to lose?

So whateves. I say bring it on you big dopey death machine. I don’t think you’ve got the balls!

something BIG…

is happening in the world of physics. Later this year, using a 10-20 billion dollar particle accelerator genius Arkani-Hamed and his team of scientists will be able to test the viability of the string theory. The article can be found HERE.

If the string theory is indeed proven to be true then it will force us to look at the world in an entirely new light. Essentially this theory supports two interesting findings for the non-scientific people out there – such as myself.

holographic principle: In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a two dimensional information structure “painted” on a boundary surface, and that the three dimensions we observe are illusory. *source: Wikipedia

theory of everything (TOE): theory of theoretical physics that fully explains and links together all known physical phenomena

Perhaps Buddhists, Hindus and psychedelic drug users were right when they said – reality is an “illusion” and all is one. What does this say about consciousness though?

NOTE: Hopefully some physics savvy people can give me some comments, I’m clearly out of my element on this post (hence all the wikipedia).
