No, the dead know nothing - for though cannot be contained without the body or by God's will. I believe the Bible - when we die we are merely dust until He remembers us and brings our consciousness back together again in a new body.

I believe the Bible clearly says 144,000 will be transformed and rule in heaven - which will descend to earth so God can be with mankind. the rest of us are going to be right here on this earth just like we are now - except genetically perfect as Adam was at the start. The difference being that there wont be anyone here that does not love his neighbor as himself. Or those who would intentionally bring pain and suffering on others they claim to be their neighbor.

Hi,

When I researched the Bible, and technically God had it shown to me how ai could do a set of Controlled Experiments on that book, the reason I did that was because the Jehovah's Witnesses had reached a family member of mine who joined and then my daughter was thinking of joining. I forbade her to join, and I forbade the other person to ask her to join, unless the Jehovah's Witnesses were proven right in their theology.

Soon though as I was asking them questions, they refused to answer me. So, I wrote to ther headquarters for answers. In my second letter to them, they found out who I was and refused to answer any more of my questions. I never found out why.

Stuck then, with no one willing to talk to me, I guessed that since they say they follow The Bible, that is something I could look at. So, I did.

In those days, I had zero ideas if God was Real or not, and had seen nothing to say that He was Real and also nothing to say that He was not Real.

Eight and a half, 8 1/2, years later, I was done with phase one of that work. Then I ran the first five of whatever I needed in number, of Controlled experiments to see what results would come of those. It turns out, that summarizing all of those results, which also had no variance, which is impossible nrpormally in this world, proved thr Bible is Real. It is true where It says It is True, and it is false where It says it is False.

Where does the Bible say it is false. The devil is a liar is one sratement in there. Thus everything the devil says is to be consdered false. Where else? Two of the three people that were talking to Job, God said they did not speak correctly about Him, God. So, all of what they said is to be considered false also, when they speak about God.

Unfortunately for them, The Jehovah's Witnesses, their following the Bible, tacitly saying no one else is doing correctly, was not true then and is not true now, based on that Proof of the Bible, doing those Controlled experiments, and by then my actual ability to know how to read the Bible well enough in some areas, to see where their errors are and more.

So, in a way, they helped me to find God.

LOVE,
...Mary Katerina., .... .

Hence, you have a Collider. It is a heavy particle accelerator. It is a light particle accelerator. It merely makes things go fast, the same speed that the particles may and probably do exist in, in some parts of space, like in our sun.

What they are doing, probably happens billions of times per second in the universe, we just don't get to see it, as the sun is not a good place to visit to watch.
Not in the sun -- the sun produces particles at pretty low energies, just lots of them. But yes, very high energy particle collisions do occur all the time in the universe. They even occur frequently on Earth, created by high energy cosmic rays.

Hi,

Thanks. I am way outside my field here. I thought without running the equation for temperature, I think it is Boltzmann's constant, but its been years now, for temperature and energy, that the energy would be high due to high temperatures, but I MADE what I hoped was an educated guess. I did not do the work yet.

Also, I meant interior energies of particles, not external light. Where do cosmic particles, some at extremely high velocities come from?

Hi,

Time to do my homework:

Cosmic rays are immensely high-energy radiation, mainly originating outside the Solar System.[1] They may produce showers of secondary particles that penetrate and impact the Earth's atmosphere and sometimes even reach the surface. Composed primarily of high-energy protons and atomic nuclei, they are of mysterious origin. Data from the Fermi space telescope (2013)[2] has been interpreted as evidence that a significant fraction of primary cosmic rays originate from the supernovae of massive stars.[3] However, this is not thought to be their only source. Active galactic nuclei probably also produce cosmic rays.

LOVE,

Hi again,

Solar energetic particles (SEP) are high-energy particles coming from the Sun. They were first observed in the early 1940s. They consist of protons, electrons and HZE ions with energy ranging from a few tens of keV to GeV (the fastest particles can reach 80% of the speed of light). They are of particular interest and importance because they can endanger life in outer space (especially particles above 40 MeV).

Solar energetic particles can originate either from a solar-flare site or by shock waves associated with coronal mass ejections(CMEs). However, only about 1% of CMEs produce strong SEP events.

SEPs are also of interest because they provide a good sample of solar material. Despite the nuclear fusion occurring in the core, the majority of solar material is representative of the material that formed the solar system. By studying SEP's isotopic composition, scientists can indirectly measure the material that formed the solar system.

Two main mechanisms of acceleration are possible: diffusive shock acceleration (DSA, sometimes referred as first-order Fermi acceleration) or shock-drift mechanism. SEPs can be accelerated to energies of several tens of MeV within 5-10 solar radii (5% of the Sun–Earth distance) and can reach Earth in a few hours. This makes prediction and warning of SEP events quite challenging.

LOVE,

I believe the 'smashing of cars together' analogy is just a little misleading

While dismantling a car and reassembling a dismantled car, would provide some idea
of the processes it's engine and automotive parts (fuel, lubrication, electrics) functioned
* the crashing of two cars together simply provides irregular SCRAP metals, that would be doubly unidentifiable
especially if they were different models by different manufacturers eg: a diesel car and a petrol car

I used to work as a warehouseman for a central heating company (?)
and I would assemble the parts and copper tubing, for the various system types, for each particular order
I would know for-example, ~by the boiler required, the number of radiator units in the order and also the
total foot run required, EXACTLY which programmer, thermostats and copper pipe fittings
to include with that order
Smashing two systems together WOULD NOT tell anyone HOW THEY WORKED (functioned)

So, I see what they are doing at Cern
is using high velocity radiation (photons) to destroy completely, a particle of material (LEAD, is the latest ?)
to observe it's component parts fly-apart and to guage / record, WHAT, COMES OUT

If those 'products', of the collision, cannot be contained within the chamber or,
the chamber itself, is altered by recombination, then subsequent collisions could run-amok
is my 'ignorant' thinking (FUSION)

When, in unknown territory, one must expect 'the unexpected'

More-power, more-power, more-power.... no defence, vulnerability, catastrophe

Man has one heck of a time clearing-up ~after a nuclear meltdown
How, will he defuse a high-energy fusion, that could, conceivably, 'feed itself'

I understand that Neutron stars are like lighthouses flashing beams of Gamma rays across the universe
and also that black holes blow off X-ray beams and atomic particles
from their poles whenever they attempt to swallow 'meals' that are too big for the sitting

. (I am having difficulty adding these quotes for some reason so I will just answer this way.)
Katarinah a lot of us have had experiences with the Jehovahs Witnesses which we never forget. I was hurt very badly once by a couple.

As far as prophesy is concerned. The Jehovahs Witnesses do not believe in that we have to be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. The filling of the spirit manifests Gifts of The Spirit and Prophesy is one of them.
Without a Gift of Prophesy - how can they give details of Jesus return? I see them unable prophesy it is simply a mind
thing without the Spirit.

I ministered to and really put myself out to help a married couple once in The Lord and was blessed with a wonderful friendship for years after. I keep my friends for life and remain faithful
One day, she came to me and said, 'We can't be friends with you anymore ... we've become Jehovahs Witnesses and you are 'of the world'....and she meant it! It broke my heart as I never saw them again.

I ran a large Christian business for 20 years - 4 shops all walk thru'. One of the shops was Secondhand Christian Books next door to the New Christian Book and gift shop. People came from OVERSEAS for these book as many were Ancient Gems.
Our nearby University gave me their whole religious library once to add to it! over 10,000 books....I didn't know the value of them at the time but some were from 1700's I sold a bible for $90 that was later in the news for making over $20,000 on the market. These books were so rare and some would go in there for hours browsing.
One day, I was in the Main Shop without looking up was aware of a customer going into this and ignored it as usual- leaving them to browse. However! I felt something... I slowly wandered there and had this cold feeling in my spirit I stood acknowledging the person with a cold atmosphere that I had never before experienced. The man mumbled he was Jehovahs Witness and looking for something
That was my only experience of a JW coming in. There was a lot of spirit in my business. It was for All Denominations and JW regard them as The World so they normally kept away. Naturally I never forget it! We had much prayer and there was many miracles of healing etc. So much so people came from right out in the country to donate to me and I never asked for a thing. At the start all I had was my confidence in selling - no money at all. I will add a couple of photos for you if I can!
I sold lounge suites until I had enough to open the Drop-in Centre The secondhand Christian bookshop was on the left of this picture (Ancient Gems)

:prayer:

Hi,

This is not my area. This is not my area. This.... I had a project eventually in fusion. And, I had to get all my Physics and even some Math guys (Ph.D. in other fields who are also incredible at math, the way you were at your job.) friends to help me. Well eventually I pieced it all together on paper. The (energy requirements) hardware, the design, but I never built it, and you saw that statement from Malvina, talking about a bad feeling about someone. Well I started to get a bad feeling about all this.

Well the reactor can only use deuterium and tritium, that is the only fuel now that can be used. Fusion is merely, until you get to Iron and there abouts, putting Hydroden together to make heavier and heavier atoms.

However, last year or so, I would run into this again. The rocket boys wanted me to add fusion to their rocket motors. I objected, but forgot why.
=========
First I want you to know this. (Some Incredible Abilities)=(Some Incredible Shortcomings), and since the '=' sign is there in my meaning, (Some Incredible Shortcomings)=(Some Incredible Abilities)

In my American way of saying things, We humans are all pretty much alike in one way. We are equa. Actually we are equal before God, but. But, we are equal before each other also.

What that means is a lot of things. One of the most important consequences of that, if it is true, is that none of us is to be looked up to, and none of us is to be looked down upon. We are actually all equal. Even if we screw up, and need to be put in jail or worse, or even if you or I get a Nobel Prize and awards, we are all still equal. Balance in what we are in total, equals us all out. At least that is how I see things.
========

Well one day, our resident retired rocket scientist asked me if I understood plasma. I said something. He then asked me about adding fusion, because fission powered rockets work so good, and they are not used. I told him to forget it. He had other ideas. At the end of the day, he got me to capitulate, and next week after working all week on it, I gave him a fusion reactor on paper, answered all his questions and did it with full agony in body, Part of which, and most of it was caused by acid they found out, when I finally let the call the Paramedics. Initially I didn't for reasons. Then I did.

Giving him that reactor, bringing up old feelings that I had not processed for years, made me so upset that as a by product of giving him and answer, for what he asked for, (which by the way, would not be successful and I did not yet, want to tell him what would work), I was gasping out the anwers and telling everyone to ignore my sickness as I am always sick like this from time to time. My eyes are closed, I am sitting down, I give and I give and I give. I answer his questions and finally in time he has everything.

As the months passed by, I realized found articles on my fuel, and noticed that it was made only in the early stages after "Let there be light" and is not made anywhere, but is important in some ways to how this thing we call creation turned out, but it may be important now, as plants cannot grow in heavy water, so it may be a plant modifier or something like that. So, until they can prove to me burning up 95% of all the Deuterium in the oceans to light a few light bulbs with the 5% that is useful in that Fusion reactor, back 20 years ago or so on my first one, I did not think it was a good idea, but. But those ideas came from God really.

Occasionaly God lets me know things. One was the reactor that I designed was not from or of him. So, I killed it.

The second time, I had forgotten much of that first encounter and that first design. Then slowly I was told, to not give that working reactor to the rocket scientist. Do not. I told him that as gently as I could. He resisted. I then gave him the Deuterium information, that it is not made anymore. He was not happy, as he wanted to get to Mars faster, etc, but. But, in his single mindedness, he was not looking at what could go wrong, when. When we are already getting to Mars and beyond just using separated water as a fuel now, and that is harmless to all of us.

Rocket fuels now are primarily Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Hydrogen that when burned result in water and force as their by products. We like the force, thrust, to get to Mars, and the water, most of it staying in our atmosphere, we like that too.

That reactor, I was asked to make is fusion. It is putting things together to make heavier things. The limit on what is called the Periodic Table is called Iron. Past Iron the process does not work anymore.

What we use on earth is things that are heavy, heavier than lead, and all made in star explosions somewhere in the univers, apart necessarily from our earth, which Biblically could have been made by God, before all other stars or even our star-sun was made to rule over the earth, and some of them break apart all on their own. Lead is actually the end splitting of a heavier atom called Uranium. I don't remember which weight/mass of Uranium that one is. Yet, in about 17 naturally occurring splitting of the atom, eventually lead happens from Uranium. It may be 238, it may be 235. I don't remember.

Uranium, whether God used Let there be light, and then stars exploding, to make the uranium on earth or whether he did it separately, is not known yet, but. But I now get to say how splitting atoms by any method, the natural methods made more efficient only in our normal nuclear reactors, or using a Collider, release energy already in the atom, and. And there is hardly enough energy to cause any other atom to also split in the nearby vicinity, as. As, it takes incredible amounts of energy to split atoms that do not naturally split like Plutonium, which is heavier than lead, and Uranium which is heavier than lead.

Past lead, energy is put in to split, it is not natural anymore, like what occurs in nature, but. But enegy is still released until the atoms weight becomes near the weight of iron, and then there is no more energy to extract using fission.

I am out of my field by a lot, and may have errors, but that is what I think.

LOVE,

Hi,

I totally understand you, what you said. I felt what you felt. I felt what you felt when you wrote those words.

One of my acquaintances/friends an Abby- something. And AbbyNormal Baptist Minister runs the Christian store in town. It was and is much like yours in feeling. In-The-Spirt things are happening in that store all the time, and, and but. But no one, no store, not person typically, No person typically is given all the graces and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Out of esoteric speech for others. No one typically knows all there is to know about Religions, and No one is typically given all what people call Super Natural Knowledge, and Super Naturual Abilities from God.

Back into esoteric mode, that Baptist minister outed me one day to a customer. I noticed she had a strong God connection. I asked her about it. She in turn looked to Kevin, if I remember his name right, and say to him. Is **, me, prophetic? Kevin says "Yes."

Later I would ask Kevin what the means, to him in the Baptist context. I actually have no words for what I am in those ways.

I have felt the Spirit in The Jehovah's Witnesses Halls. I have felt the Spirit in The Mormon Church. Typically though, I do not feel spirits. I actually never know when I am going to feel or know anything from God, Supernaturally for non Christians, but in those other ways to those In-The-Spirit.

Amazingly before I get back on topic, your store, background, and now your mentioning your experience with that JW, couple which by the way, may not be all of them but rather only those who know better and push their religion anyway. Many are in there until they find out they have been lied to, and then they find ways to leave. One had a really hard time, and she tells me she now belongs to a forum of recovering Jehovah's Witnesses, as the experience is that bad for her and others, in getting in, finding a problem, getting out, as they do much to prevent you from leaving, if they can.

Your store, will tickle that friend of mine. I am going to send him your article, in about an hour or so when his store opens up. I think he will like it.

LOVE,
...Mary Katerine., .... .

This is CERN'S schedule

Machine Development Nov. 4 - 8

Technical Stop Nov. 9 - 13

...
Recommissioning Beam Nov. 14 - 15

Set up of Ions of Lead Nov. 16 - 19

Collisions Pb + Pb Nov. 20 - Dec. 13
: Full Power 1.15 PeV
collisions of Ions of Lead @ 1,148 TeV (1.15 PeV)

This is the CENTER OF MASS ENERGY of Lead Particles

Highest energy to date is 13 TeV with Protons

Tera = 10 followed by 12 zeros Peta = 10 followed by 15 zeros Collisions of Lead Ions will produce 1,148 TeV, exceeding the 13 TeV from collisions of Protons.

Technical Stop Dec. 14 through end of 2015


I found this article which at least appears to show that there may be something to what people are saying about CERN

http://cds.cern.ch/record/1208705/files/PhysRevSTAB.12.071002.pdf

It speaks of center of mass energies of 1.15 PeV.

An early paragraph says....(this was from 2009)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presently being
commissioned at CERN [1]. Its main beam parameters are
given in Table I. In its first phase of operation it will collide
protons but later also heavy nuclei, starting with 208Pb82þ
at center-of-mass energies up to 1.15 PeV [2]. This will
open up a new energy regime in experimental nuclear
physics, extending the study of the hadronic matter
(‘‘quark-gluon plasma’’) that existed in the early universe
about 106 s after the big bang [3]. At the same time,
colliding heavy-ion beams at this unprecedented energy
will present beam physics challenges not encountered in
previous colliders.


Maybe there is something to this? I don't know. Supposedly from what I have read, the 14 TeV energy publicly stated by CERN as its max. energy output doesn't have much to do with the center-of-mass energies it speaks of. I am no scientist.

But I do believe that CERN is connected with Revelation 9 which speaks of Abaddon/Apollyon.

Because it is no coincidence that CERN sits on top of an ancient Roman ruin dedicated to Apollyon. This is it, people.

Thanks for the update. I share your excitement; CERNs ability to collide lead ions could reveal some very interesting things about the early universe.

The work going on at CERN is a wonderful example of international cooperation, so it's great that you've made a thread to celebrate their latest endeavours.

^_^


Read my response to Malvina. CERN will be the doorway of Revelation 9. This isn't something to be celebrated.

Hi,

In slightly less technical language. The way energy comes from the sun, can be taken out of this discussion on why Iron does not actually Kill a Star.

Later, I thought I would try and find out which and how stars make lead in the first place.

LOVE,

Physicist: Every now and again a physicist finds themselves in front of a camera and, either through over-enthusiasm or poor editing, is heard to say something that is “less nuanced” than they may have intended. “Iron kills stars” is one of the classics.

Just to be clear, if you chuck a bunch of iron into a star, you’ll end up with a lot of vaporized iron that you’ll never get back. The star itself will do just fine. The Earth is about 1/3 iron (effectively all of that is in the core), but even if you tossed the entire Earth into the Sun, the most you’d do is upset Al Gore. Probably a lot.

Stars are always in a balance between their own massive weight that tries to crush their cores, and the heat generated by fusion reactions in the core that pushes all that weight back out. The more the core is crushed, the hotter and denser it gets, which increases the rate of fusion reactions (increases the cores rate of “explodingness”), which pushes the bulk of the Star away from the core again. As long as there’s “fuel” in the core, and attempt to crush it will result in the core pushing back.

Young stars burn hydrogen, because hydrogen is the easiest element to fuse and also produces the biggest bang. But hydrogen is the lightest element, which means that older stars end up with a bunch of heavier stuff, like carbon and oxygen and whatnot, cluttering up their cores. But even that isn’t terribly bad news for the star. Those new elements can also fuse and produce enough new energy to keep the core from being crushed. The problem is, when heavier elements fuse they produce less energy than hydrogen did. So more fuel is needed. Generally speaking, the heavier the element, the less bang-for-the-buck.


The “nuclear binding energy” of a selection of elements by atomic weight. The height difference gives a rough idea of how much energy is release by fusion. Notice that there’s a huge jump between, say, hydrogen (H1) and helium (He4), but a much smaller jump between aluminum (Al27) and iron (Fe56).

Iron is where that slows to a stop. Iron collecting in the core is like ash collecting in a fire. It’s not that it somehow actively stops the process, but at the same time: it doesn’t help. Throw wood on a fire, you get more fire. Throw ash on a fire, you get hot ash.

So, iron doesn’t kill stars so much as it is a symptom of a star that’s about to be done. Without fuel, the rest of the star is free to collapse the core without opposition, and generally it does. When there’s a lot of iron being produced in the core, a star probably only has a few hours or seconds left to live.

Of course there are elements heavier than iron, and they can undergo fusion as well. However, rather than producing energy, these elements require additional energy to be created (throwing liquid nitrogen on a fire, maybe?). That extra energy (which is a lot) isn’t generally available until the outer layers of the star come crushing down on the core. The energy of all that falling material drives the fusion rate of the remaining lighter elements way, way, way up (supernovas are super for a reason), and also helps power the creation of the elements that make our lives that much more interesting: gold, silver, uranium, lead, mercury, whatever.

There are more than a hundred known elements, and iron is only #26. Basically, if it’s heavy, it’s from a supernova. Long story short: iron doesn’t kill stars, but right before a (large) star dies, it is full of buckets of iron.

No it won't.


WAKE UP, man!!!! Do you not even know what Revelation 9 says? You honestly think its just some weird coincidence that CERN sits on top of a Roman town with a temple dedicated to Apollyon?

CERN is the doorway.....you will get burned bad if you continue to give in to ignorance

This is CERN'S schedule

Machine Development Nov. 4 - 8

Technical Stop Nov. 9 - 13

...
Recommissioning Beam Nov. 14 - 15

Set up of Ions of Lead Nov. 16 - 19

Collisions Pb + Pb Nov. 20 - Dec. 13
: Full Power 1.15 PeV
collisions of Ions of Lead @ 1,148 TeV (1.15 PeV)

This is the CENTER OF MASS ENERGY of Lead Particles

Highest energy to date is 13 TeV with Protons

Tera = 10 followed by 12 zeros Peta = 10 followed by 15 zeros Collisions of Lead Ions will produce 1,148 TeV, exceeding the 13 TeV from collisions of Protons.

Technical Stop Dec. 14 through end of 2015

Cool, nice schedule.
