Neutrino Blues

PART V
Another EnLIGHTening Announcement from CERN

In its third paradigm-shifting announcement this month, CERN reported that its OPERA experiment has unexpectedly recorded subatomic particles traveling faster than the speed of light (click here and here for more). If correct this discovery would totally change one of the fundamental laws of physics: that the speed of light is absolutely constant making the basis of the most famous physics equation E=MC2 flawed. The speed of light -- 186,282 miles per second -- has long been considered a cosmic speed limit, not to mention the holy grail of time travel theory and the legendary propulsion theory of science fiction: WARP speed and drive. As any Star Trek fan will tell you WARP drive is a faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion system that creates an artificial "bubble" of normal space-time which surrounds the spacecraft as it travels through regular space (as opposed to entering a separate realm or dimension like hyperspace). If today's announcement is correct, we are one step closer to going where no man has gone before.

Once again CERN has validated, on the tipping point of the autumnal equinox, something that my intuition has "felt" to be true: that there are things that move faster that the speed of light. As I described in my last post, light, like matter, is made up of tiny particles; but unlike matter, these particles are not atoms or molecules but tiny packets, or quanta, of energy called photons. One of the most intriguing phenomenons associated with photons is Quantum Entanglement.




It is amazing that photons can react to one another instantaneously defying the speed of light rule. Most physicists would counter the conclusion that these photons are somehow mysteriously communicating with each other by explaining that what ever is going on between the entangled pair is not information traveling faster that the speed of light. They might suggest it has more to do with how we view separation in distance and our ideas about locality than it does the speed of light. But now with CERN's discovery, the rules of entanglement may change too. Just think of the potential for intergalactic communication. Instead of taking 4 years traveling at the speed of light to reach to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, a message encoded in a beam of light might be transmitted in an instant. I believe this is how crop circles are transmitted to the earth by extraterrestrials from great distances like Arcturus, and why we haven't been able to measure the source of these 'superluminal' messages -- "like love letters slipped under the door at night" -- as it's outside our radar and ability to detect.

On Thursday a team of experimental physicists at CERN reported that one subatomic particle may be able to break the light barrier: the neutrino. Neutrinos are fundamental particles that are electrically neutral, rarely interact with other matter, and have a vanishingly small mass. They exist all around us. The Sun produces so many neutrinos as a by-product of nuclear reactions that many billions pass through our eyes every second. CERN creates artificial neutrinos by accelerating particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). CERN scientists reached their conclusion after sending streams of these neutrinos hurtling from the accelerator at CERN outside Geneva, Switzerland to a detector at the Gran Sasso ("great rock") National Laboratory in Italy, not far from SS (route) 17, which, as we have seen before in Part I of this series, is a number associated with star gates. These "artificial" neutrinos traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than light with a calculated margin of error at just 10 nanoseconds, making the difference statistically significant. WOW! It may not seem like much, but it was enough to call a press conference and share what some skeptics believe could be flawed data.

[Sidebar: In 2007 Fermilab located outside of Chicago ran a project called MINOS whose preliminary results hinted at faster-than-light speeds, but their numbers fell within the margin of error. For all of you who enjoy the name game played by scientists, MINOS was the legendary King of Crete who created the labyrinth guarded by the mythical Minotaur, and who was a judge of the dead in another dimension called Hades. Once again the names of mythic beings are being used to codify long scientific terms with the magical attributes of the legendary figure. MINOS judges, ie counts, the photons, ie elemental body of light or souls, in the underworld, ie another dimension. The only two labs in the world that can verify CERNs results are MINOS and Japan's SUPER-KAMIOKANDE, or SUPER-K, not to be confused with the psychedelic drug sometimes called special or Super-K (ketamine) -- or maybe it is? And even SUPER-K evokes intrigue in its native home Japan. According to Wikipedia, the name of the SUPER-K project (kamiokande) can among other meanings be understood to mean 神を噛んで (kami wo kande), which roughly translates to bite into God. Now what do you think those findings will be? So far, it's been like Rahu swallowing the Moon for both projects, they are getting a taste of the light, but can't hold onto it.]

Back to the OPERA (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus) project at the Gran Sasso ("great rock") National Laboratory (LNGS) in Italy (check out the list of their myth-named projects). Could the veiled "great rock" of San Grasso be a symbolic black rock of the alchemical tradition, a monolith forcing evolution? In a Scientific American article, theoretical physicist Antonino speculates that the "superluminal" neutrinos detected by OPERA could be slipping through extra dimensions in space, as predicted by theories such as string theory. Yes, these scientist actually are suggesting it could be the result of inter dimensional time travel. These linguistic clues and synchronicity are not going to quell rumors about CERN opening up star gates and wormholes. I can't wait to hear what William Henry has to say about all of this.

Check out the logo for OPERA. It resembles the Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheater, located in nearby Rome on what I would describe as an indigo background. As I mentioned in my last post, indigo is one of the colors associated with psychic realms, intuition, and our ability to manifest reality. At first the logo appears to be an obvious play on a tiered opera house, however it appears more likely that is is evoking one of the most famous structures of the ancient world: the Colosseum in Rome. This amphitheater was the site of highly ritualized drama, including gladiatorial fights and naumachia, the re-enactment of naval battles, which engaged the emotions of the crowd to open up a new dimension or alternate to reality. OPERA's logo clearly designates a star-shaped portal marked with a red curtain held back by two mysterious flying beings and topped topped with a gold crown at the entry/exit of a seven story architectural structure. These seven levels may represent the seven lokas of Hinduism or the seven planes of existence of described in the Theosophical tradition: physical, astral, mental, buddhi, atman, monadic, divine.


Could the logo of OPERA indicate that it is indeed trying to open a portal to the 7th levels of existence -- the Gnostic pleroma, the divine abode of God? Moreover, the O and A of OPERA are shifted below the PER, so that one might read it as O PER A. If O= omega and A=alpha, then might this suggest the reverse of alpha and omega instead reading: the omega by the way of the alpha -- the end by way of the beginning? The phrase "I am the alpha and omega" refers to Jesus in the Book of Revelation (verses 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13) indicating that he is eternal and one with God who was there at the beginning of time and will be there at the end of time. It is a phrase that triggers apocalyptic beliefs. Is it an unconscious indicator that CERN is reverse-engineering the theoretical Big Bang in its unsuccessful attempts to find the Higgs boson/God Particle? All this disguised doomsday imagery is starting to get on my nerves.












In my last post of this ever-expanding series on Discerning the Demiurge in the Age of Technology, I examined the similarities between the two archetypes of knowledge: the Demiurge from the Gnostic Tradition and Rahu from the Vedic tradition. It became clear that whether consciously, or subconsciously, their mythic and blue-hued symbols are being used by companies involved with the evolution of technology. In mythology these two shadowy impulses are engaged in a battle with the light, both wishing to consume and appropriate the power of its divine Creator. In high technology these impulses are expressed by creating artificial worlds such as the internet, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. In physics it is manifested by creating virtual (subatomic) particles that are artificially accelerated and smashed to locate the elusive God particle or to break through the light barrier into some other dimension. So what do "they" think is on the other side. Are they ripping wholes in the fabric of the universe to create a bridge to an alternate universe like the one Walter (and Peter) opened in the sci-fi worlds of Fringe? Let's just hope these artificial creations do not open gateways that actually allow the archetypes of Gnostic archons and Demiurge to be released from the cloudy realms of the astral plane only to enter the physical plane of light.
