The Higgs Boson

The day I started writing in my blog again was the day that the BBC aired a Horizon special – The Hunt for Higgs.

I am no theoretical physicist, and before I continue I should say, that I may be wrong but everything I write, are true to the best of my knowledge and the knowledge of the current age.

Finding experimental proof for theoretical ideas is often a challenge for science and physicists have been searching for the Higgs Boson for well over a decade. There have been hopes in the past, but after amounting to nothing, not all was lost. Physicists have managed to elimate areas of a large range of energies needed through different particle accelerators around the world. Now, the spotlight is on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. Will the elusive sub atomic particle be found? If it is, 2012 could the year the world changes. Not in an instant, but through the assimilation of the knowledge, confirmation of some theories, a key to other doors of discovery – the graviton? It could be a truly fascinating time for physics.

So if you are unsure what this all means, I will do my best to explain the whole experiment and basic ideas in a nutshell, maybe a packet of nuts…

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider), uses big magnets to accelerate tiny bits of stuff to near the speed of light.. One is fired from one point, and another fired in the opposite direction – towards each other. Once fired, they are accelerated to near the speed of light.

★ B l a m ! ★ They hit each other.

Lot of different bits, little building blocks of stuff fly off in different directions and with different energies so, like different sized and weighted spinning tops, they eventually fall in different places and big, expensive and complex detectors measure all sorts of stuff before dumping extreme amounts of data for physicists to decode, theorise, ponder, forget and discover.

A fascinating fact is that the particles exist for the smallest amount of time, and the conditions that exist when the particles (two protons) collide, is the point in time, about 0.000,000,000,0001 seconds after the big bang.

2012 could be the year the world adds a whole new section to all of the physics books currently out there.

This Higgs Boson is hypothetical right now.

Like minded connections

Ahhh, it’s great when people can connect so easily in this day and age – with no cost other than an internet connection.   I must give thanks to Skype for enabling me to speak with distant friends for as long as I want, for free!  I can keep distant friends close friends from Australia to Norway, from Thailand to Scotland.  Thanks Skype 😀

This evening, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with Eline in Norway and discussing “connected consciousness” ideas, truly refreshing!  She had some very interesting ideas to present and for that I am truly grateful.

You Eline, are right when you say that a long time ago, some visionaries, gurus, prophets, mystic, enlightened ones (I could go on!) were very forward thinking and few and far between, but with the passage of time, and the more consciously connected the entire human race has become, the more those ideas spread throughout the collective consciousness.

I believe those conscious ideas ripple like waves throughout the human consciousness – in one sense pushing the boundaries of the collective consciousness and also reflecting back to ripple out across the rest.

Raindrops – Each illuminating raindrop falls from above but ripples outwards.  After after the moment of inception, and reflection, a conscious bubble lifts up, free from the puddle and is at one with itself, a truly spherical droplet, it reflects until ready to return to the bigger puddle.

Sometimes, the returning droplet inspires another droplet to break free and repeat a similar process, but not quite as high as the first.. maybe a third, before the water ripples out.  Little raindrops of inspiration from above on this beautiful blue marble we know as Mother Earth.

The probability we will have more mystical moments, synchronous signs, conscious coincidences and sparks of spiritual enlightenment, are much higher in this moment now, than ever before…

What a fantastic time to be alive!  I’m truly inspired!

Peace!

Another awakening, another ascension…

The following was written on the 28th of November 2006 @ 08:58am but never published.  I just reread it and it seems more apt than ever before so it’s being posted now… 🙂

There’s more and more people around me that appear to awakening to the fact that reality is not just the material things you can see before around. Our eyes are but one of five physical senses we use to guage our sense of reality. Sometimes we go with our heart, or with our mind … intuition.

Our gut feeling, our intuition, our sixth sense, is a sense that we’ve been led to believe doesn’t exist. Doesn’t it? Within the quacky world of quantum physics we’re inevitibly entagled with the start of the big bang .. everything. We can appreciate that reality isn’t quite as clear cut as we’d thought when we consider this. Mysterious to say the least!

Anyway, it seems more and more people are waking up to there’s a whole other dimension to life. In many different ways bettering themselves from just believing. Believing you have the power to change your reality. Awakening to the ability within all of us, a reconnection to everything .. Mother Nature could reconnect us to her bosom with her natural forces … or we could reconnect to Mother Nature with our forces /energy (which in my opinion would be a much better alternative).

If we create our realities with a green undertone then it will manifest itself.

Work is continuing

Well, it’s great having WordPress, the design is so basic right now, but small steps..   small steps.

UpdateL 12 January 2012

I’ve successfully imported my old blog (after a few headaches) but now there’s a little more content and a new drive to post thoughts.  Not so much tonight as it’s now late, but over the coming days.

Aaaahhhh .. what a relief to finally have my old Blogger Blog in WordPress.  Big thanks to http://blogger2wordpress.appspot.com/ for the XML to WXR conversion that worked a treat!

a new start

Almost 2 years later I logged into my blog to help advise someone on changing a template and I felt it was a crime not to leave a post.

It’s the 13th of November 2008, a very interesting day to many. I’ll write some more soon, a lot more very soon. I wonder if anyone is even reading this these days!

peace
