The Boson Experiment And Earths End

Bryan brings us another two exciting stories about Earth's future. One is set only some fifty years distant and the other is as far into the future as Earth can exist.In the Boson Experiment, nuclear physicist, Abigail McGovern is trying to create mini black holes in a laboratory. The Large Hadron Collider was used in the same experiment unsuccessfully fifty years previously but Abigail was on the verge of success. Despite many failures and undermining from a mystery organisation bent on utilising the technology for weapons, she manages to create the mini black hole. However, there is one very weird and unexpected side effect.Earth's End tells the story of what humans did when their beloved Earth was no more. The Sun was going nova and humankind had to leave. But to where? And who would go? Science was now a recognised religion and the scientists of the time built several large cryogenic spaceships to take their followers to a new place in the Kepler system they called New Earth. Despite everyone being in deep sleep on board, their journey was filled with dangers, uprisings and encounters with strange creatures. Do they make it or do they die in space as the other religions have foretold?

Here are two more stories about earths future. One is in the near future and the other as far in the future as Earth can get. The Boson Experiment was the brainchild of Abby McGovern, who was trying to create an artificial black hole. Her world was turned upside down when she met someone who was her direct opposite, a ghost hunter. The two never imagined that they would both eventually be chasing the same thing. In Earths End, the Earth is about to be swallowed up by the now-expanding sun. Only three religions still survived, and science was one of them. The two religions, Christianity and Islam, accepted that this was the end of the human race and readied themselves to meet their makers. Science instead proposed leaving Earth and traveling to a distant planet as the last hope for humanity. Just how will they survive the journey for so many years? Will the human race live long enough to reach this new world?

"The Higgs boson ... is the key to understanding why mass exists and how atoms are possible. After billions of dollars and decades of effort by more than six thousand researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland--a doorway is opening into the mind-boggling world of dark matter and beyond. Caltech physicist and acclaimed writer Sean Carroll explains both the importance of the Higgs boson and the ultimately human story behind the greatest scientific achievement of our time"--Publisher

Creative strategies have been central to global social movements. From the theatrics of the 1999 Seattle protests, to the rebel clowns at the 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles and the antics of the Yes Men, the crossovers between art and politics have increasingly become more visible and prolific. This book explores an innovative form of creative and communicative politics: the ’performative encounter’, as a strategy for facilitating new ways of being, relating and making worlds. Unlike existing scholarship that frames such encounters in artistic or cultural terms, this book analyzes performative encounters through an organizational lens to accentuate their social-political potential, engaging a wealth of material from autonomist philosophy, political science, performance studies, geography and social movement texts. Intertwining conceptual and ethnographic research, it uniquely maps out one narrative of the encounter, tracing a line through the twentieth century from the Berlin Dadaists, to the Situationist International, to several contemporary German collectives and campaigns, showing how performative encounters intervene in global and local issues such as the privatization of public space and resources, human mobility and the corporatization of education.

Deep in the tunnels of Jura Mountain between Switzerland and France lies an ancient secret, guarded by a powerful proton smasher called Hadron Collider. But the scientists who were employed there were tricked into opening a portal to the Abyss, unleashing a powerful and ancient evil upon the Earth. Scientist James Robinson, who had seen too much, immediately became a target. With the help of a ragtag team of unlikely heroes, James must fight against the demonic forces to save humanity from destruction. This thrilling tale of good vs. evil will leave readers on the edge of their seats. If you enjoyed Stephen King's The Stand, you will love this heart-pounding adventure. Customer Review Sung Sik Yoon 5.0 out of 5 stars A Harrowing Journey Between Reality and the Beyond Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023 "Rise of Demons and Earth's Final Countdown" is a book that blurs the line between science fiction and reality. It takes you on a gripping journey that urges you to look deeper into the prophetic events they unfold. The author has meticulously researched the subject matter and offers additional resources and websites to explore beyond the pages. The book is not just a read, it's an experience that might stir your soul and keep your lights on at night.

A fascinating tour of particle physics from Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman. At the root of particle physics is an invincible sense of curiosity. Leon Lederman embraces this spirit of inquiry as he moves from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations to Einstein and beyond to chart this unique arm of scientific study. His survey concludes with the Higgs boson, nicknamed the God Particle, which scientists hypothesize will help unlock the last secrets of the subatomic universe, quarks and all--it's the dogged pursuit of this almost mystical entity that inspires Lederman's witty and accessible history.

The second meeting on 'New Worlds in Astroparticle Physics' reflected the growing interest and enthusiasm in the joint field of particle physics and astrophysics. The recent results of Superkamiokande on the possible neutrino oscillations are reviewed both from the experimental and theoretical points of view. The determination of the mass density in the Universe covered a wide range of topics from the Large Scale Structures to the Supernovae Cosmology project.Each main subject was introduced by a comprehensive review. The study of the origin and composition of cosmic rays is inspiring a new generation of earth- and space-based experiments.

A comprehensive account of new models of extra dimensions which form an important part of present-day high-energy physics.
