CERN, The European Organization for Nuclear Research fired up the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to set a world record for accelerating beams of protons.  It created three times the energy by any other machine of earth.  The world did not end yesterday.  

Geneva, 19 March 2010. At just after 5:20 this morning, two 3.5 TeV proton beams successfully circulated in the Large Hadron Collider for the first time. This is the highest energy yet achieved in a particle accelerator, and an important step on the way to the start of the LHC research programme. The first attempt to collide beams at 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam) will follow on a date to be announced in the near future.  http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2010/PR05.10E.html

Less than two weeks ago CERN said, “joints between the machine’s magnets must be strengthened before higher-energy collisions can commence.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8556621.stm   Guess they got that fixed enough to continue upramping of protons to set another world record.

There was no major earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, or any catastrophic event associated at the time the two beams collided that we could find. 

There are numerous instances when colliders are on line and coincidentally devastating quakes occur.  Chile, Haiti, and even Italy all had earthquakes within days of flipping a switch.  https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/lhc-shutting-down-half-assed-power-earthquake/ 

The  fluxgate magnetometer showed no major hic-up from HAARP until this morning.

The INTERMAGNET, Kyoto GIN: Real-time (Quicklook) Geomagnetic Field Data Page shows nothing out of the ordinary on March 19 either. http://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/plot_realtime/intermagnet/index.html

Without visiting every observatory for data, no conspiracy conditions seem to exist at the time the two beams collided in the 17 mile, 27 km underground loop buried underground not far from Geneva, Switzerland.  We are very happy the world did not end yesterday, what about today, tomorrow and the next day?

USGS Hic-up March 20, 2010

USGS in Fairbanks, Alaska picked up on the same spike in the atmosphere that HAARP’s fluxgate magnetosphere did earlier this morning.  Perhaps the HAARP array is beaming, a solar flare hit, or it’s instruments picked up on the minor earthquake this morning in Alaska.  http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php

Or, perhaps the activities at the LHC have far reaching repercussions after all.

Critics, though, many of whom have found a powerful platform on the Internet, fear that by smashing protons against each other at 99.9999991 percent of the speed of light, scientists could create tiny black holes which could eventually grow to the point that they swallow up the Earth. http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,577219,00.html

Creating a black hole or some other means of destroying the Earth is disputed by CERN, sort of.  In the article by Inaki San Pedro, Measurement Dependence is not Conspiracy: A Common Cause Model of EPR Correlations says:

First, I look at the EPR correlations from a purely phenomenological point of view and claim that common cause explanations of these can not be ruled out. I argue that an appropriate common cause explanation requires that no-conspiracy conditions are re-interpreted as mere common cause-measurement independence conditions. Violations of measurement independence thus need not entail any kind of conspiracy (nor backwards in time causation). This new reading of measurement dependence provides the grounds for an explicitly non-factorizable (in the sense of Bell factorizability) common cause model for EPR. http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1179159 / http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0905/0905.3859v2.pdf

Admitting that there are indeed, “violations of measurement independence,” is conspiratorial in and of itself.  

Explaining things a bit bit farther from the The Journal, Foundations of Physics  http://www.springerlink.com/content/545126l148313337/

Reichenbach’s principles of a probabilistic common cause of probabilistic correlations is formulated in terms of relativistic quantum field theory, and the problem is raised whether correlations in relativistic quantum field theory between events represented by projections in local observable algebrasA(V₁) andA(V₂) pertaining to spacelike separated spacetime regions V₁ and V₂ can be explained by finding a probabilistic common cause of the correlation in Reichenbach’s sense…

1.  There exists a direct casual connection between the correlated events.

2.  There exists a probabilistic common cause of the correlation.

The article,  Time Travel: John Titor’s Startling Predictions at Conspiracy Planet, http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=125&contentid=2321&page=2 takes things to a new level saying:

The basics of time travel will begin for you at CERN in about a year when they announce their ability to create microsingularities, and end in 2034 with the building of the first “time machine.”

This was the Original music video for the David Bowie song Space Oddity from 1969 during all the hoopla surrounding the lunar landings.  Imagine though, the possibility of a black whole or worm hole to take you across the planet in the blink of an eye, say nothing of a visit to the Moon, Mars or a distant galaxy.  Could the LHC make this possible someday?

While certainly not a physicist or an astronaut, we remain very suspect while reach for the tinfoil hats.  CERN and the LHC believe they are not opening a can of worms, but indeed they may open a sort of space time continuum or severely impact the earth as we know it- either now, in the future or perhaps even the past.
