The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect – or even create – miniature black holes.
If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.
It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.
The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.
But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.
Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ – a key building block of the universe – and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ – a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.
But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.
Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.
“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.
“Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.
“This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.
“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.
Weedkiller alert over cancer link
The World Heath Organisation has declared that glyphosate, one of the UK’s most popular herbicides marketed as Roundup, is ‘probably carcinogenic’

is a sleeze …He tells his employees its their option if they want to engage customers in race conversation.
That way if he gets a bad reaction he can blame it on the EMPLOYEEs bad judgement.
He’s leaving his employees out to dry after they follow his suggestions..sleezey by any account.
It shows what kind of employer he is….I wouldent work for an employer that did that to me !
Who said anything about wanting to be with your own race ? I sure didn’t ..
Dont put words in my mouth !
Starbucks .. The world getting more dingy everyday. Looks like the people who thought that up needs to take that questionaire themselves. What these people preach they don’t practice so they have to make themselves look like they do I guess. There’s nothing ” abnormal” about wanting to be with your own race and culture. In fact it would seem abnormal of you didn’t. Not meaning you don’t associate with another but it’s certainally not a prerequisite for any culture or race.
The TEMPORARY trend, help Europe, with an abruptly higher dollar, started in June ’14. Odds favor Europe’s strong US dollar stimulation had ended seven trading days ago.
What would we do without a whiplash move during an Int. Cycle? These are regular in each cycle. This one happened a bit early in the cycle which, in itself is telling but, alone not definitive enough to declare a whiplash move. A whiplash indicates that the major trend will reassert itself shortly. In this case the trend is still down. Next we move to occilators, which should be customized. Any major reverse move that occurs between overbought and oversold should be ignored…the major trend is still in play. Weeks to go yet.
Re parts:
“I expect that the United States will lose its monopoly on having the world’s only reserve currency.”
“This is so important because it has allowed us to live above our means for a long time as the world produces goods and we “print” dollars to get tangible assets. This will be greatly diminished if we lose this advantage. (Things will cost a LOT more!).”
“given us the ability to have the world’s premier military and has also allowed us to bully non-compliant countries”
“It has been my opinion for quite some time that we have abused our authority and now the rest of the world is implementing ways to move away from having dollar-denominated trade.”
Comment:
The USA has no monopoly. “They” do. Imo that info is way way off base. First of all, “WE” are not “we”. The global international Banks and Corporations are the “we” doing business in our name only, USA.
“We” living above our means?” What does that mean? We can afford to pay for a huge military and give it away for free for foreign global use? “We” are wealthy enough that we can throw our taxpaying manufacturing workers under the bus, and buy cheap foreign made products instead? And avoid hiring our fellow countrymen?
“We” abused our authority? Wrong. THEY abused their authority, and THEIR dollar going lower is a very good thing for Americans, and BAD for other countries. THAT’S why they want to dump the dollar.
When its good for us finally, and bad for them, they want to change it over to the Chinese Yuan, and screw the Chines people for global banking and business advantage.
I don’t think so. Anyone notice the big bounce in copper on Friday? Looks like a breakout to me. The market is speaking if we listen and wait. Soon the whistle for “all aboard” will sound.
You liberal Moron ..How many of your Stores are in Predominately black neighborhoods ?
OR …. China: Now thats a REAL GAME Changer !
Starbucks
Starbucks is in hot water after launching a campaign that encourages baristas to talk about race relations with customers.
Critics have been lashing out at the company on social media, saying Starbucks is trying to capitalize on racial tension in the US.
Following the backlash, Starbucks’ senior vice president of communications, Corey duBrowa, deleted his Twitter account, which only added to critics’ outrage.

The ad, which appeared in Friday’s copy of USA Today, is part of the coffee company’s #RaceTogether initiative, an effort to influence customers’ opinions regarding racial tensions in the United States.
The ad encourages readers to “Use these conversation starters with your family and friends at work,” and lists 10 fill-in-the-blank questions which will prove once and for all that you and everyone you know are racists.
“My parents had ___ friends of a different race,” reads one survey question.
“I have ___ friends of a different race,” reads the next question, insinuating that having friends of a different race somehow proves tolerance.
Under the #RaceTogether program, baristas have the option to hand select customers coffee cups with the words “Race Together” inscribed on them and are encouraged to engage them in a conversation about race.
Interestingly, CEO Howard Schultz has not relented on the campaign, despite it receiving a flood of negative backlash from the online community.
The ill-conceived campaign was mocked so hard that Starbucks’ Senior Vice President of Communications, Corey duBrowa, had to delete his Twitter account.
wants to force people to vote..because it eliminates the the option “none of the Above” and free choice ..its a page borrowed from Soviet Russia of days gone by where they had elections with 99% participation even though the Candidates were selected and approved by the Communist Party ..Just like China wants to “approve “the Candidates for Hong Kong ..Its a Communist ploy that’s 60 years old and that’s all Oblabla has to offer .! He hasent got an original thought in his head ,its all straight out of Communist Manifesto by Marx . Its no different than Chicago politics “community organizer” a term that he admits he owns,is a term that was used in America in the thirties to describe a Communist .. THeres nothing new under the Sun except the History YOU don’t know ! After he’s gone maybe we can bury Communism for the last time and drive a “SILVER “stake through its heart. It’ll be Good riddence MARX and Obama !
BTW when he’s gone…the last vestige of RACISM will also be gone in America ….think about that !
Normally this would be construed as bullish but I’d argue that the only reason the commercials buy long contracts is to dump them on the market to cap upward moves.
Thanks. I don’t hold out much hope that we can overcome the Money Mafia but it is good to be informed.
Good when you have somebody with credentials voice what is going on with the shadow government. In France the government wants to ban “conspiracy theory.” Like in the book 1984. Myself I like to be called an independent intelligence agent. Not a conspiracy theorist.
