A human sacrifice has been staged in the grounds of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, the home of the God Particle.


A human sacrifice has been staged in the grounds of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, the home of the God Particle.
A video circulating online shows hooded figures apparently engaging in a ritual, staged under a huge statue of a Hindu deity, at the end of which a woman is stabbed.
But the footage appears to have been recorded as part of a prank by scientists at Europe’s top physics lab, which serves as the home of the Lagre Hadron Collider. The identity and motives of those behind the video hasn’t yet been discovered.
In the footage itself, multiple people are shown wearing long, flowing black robes – and one appears to have hiking boots on underneath. They are depicted walking around, before a woman moves onto the floor and is apparently stabbed.
As that happens, the person who is supposedly recording the video appears to react – firing out expletives and apparently running away, which causes the camera to move away from the scene before it is cut off.
The ceremony took place under the large states of the Hindu deity Shiva, which permanently stands at the complex. In both the video and real life, it is lit from below – which means that a huge shadow is cast across the building behind.
The Shiva statue was a “gift from India to celebrate its association with Cern”, according to the institution’s website.
“This deity was chosen by the Indian government because of a metaphor that was drawn between the cosmic dance of the Nataraj and the modern study of the ‘cosmic dance’ of subatomic particles,” the organisation says on a website unrelated to the prank. “India is one of CERN’s observer states, along with the USA, Russia and Japan. 
A Cern spokesperson confirmed that the video had been filmed there, but said that it had been made without permission or knowledge. Cern said that it doesn’t “condone this type of spoof” because it can “give rise to misunderstandings about the scientific nature of our work”.
It’s far from the firs time that scientific work has been associated with the occult or the mystical. Because of the highly-specialised – and often terrifying – work that goes on at Cern, it has become a haven of speculation for conspiracy theorists and anxious people.
Many have suggested that the Large Hadron Collider could bring about a black hole in the Earth, or that something is going on there that would allow people to access new forms of power that would be wielded against the Earth. Others still have said that the work might open a portal to another dimension – an apparent extrapolation from the fact that the work going on there might allow scientists to test theories about the presence of other dimensions.
Others have claimed that Cern’s work is meant to prove that God doesn’t exist, another claim that the institution has been forced to rebut on its website.
“People from all over the world work together harmoniously at CERN, representing all regions, religions and cultures,” an FAQ page says. “CERN exists to understand the mystery of nature for the benefit of humankind.
“Scientists at CERN use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. Particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. This process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature."

The campus has a range of security measures, ensuring that everyone on the grounds is either an official scientist or a visitor – and those involved in the ceremony appear to have had their ID checked. Cern hasn’t said who took part in the prank, but the woman at least does appear to be identifiable in the footage.
Many of those people come from around the world to the site, to partake in scientific work or to speak with people who are doing so. A Cern spokesperson appeared to blame such people, saying that “some of them let their humour go too far”.
An article has been added to the FAQ page of Cern’s social media pages, which makes the same claim. In response to the question “I have seen a video of a strange ritual at CERN, is it real?” the page says that it isn’t.
“No, this video is a work of fiction. CERN fills up with visitors over summer, with users from across the world who come to CERN as part of their work, and some of whom occasionally let their sense of humour go too far, and that is what has happened on this occasion. CERN does not condone this kind of spoof.”                 Independent

2016: Lights go out worldwide in demonstration against increasing climate change


1-shanghai-afp.jpg

On the evening of 19 March the lights went out not just all over Europe, but throughout the world. But far from being a harbinger of doom – as in Sir Edward Grey’s celebrated observation on the eve of the First World War – it was a sign that one of the world’s most perilous, impending problems might yet be solved. 
Scores of millions of people in a record 178 countries switched off at 8.30pm last night, to mark this year’s Earth Hour, participating in the world’s biggest ever demonstration to stop climate change escalating out of control. 
But for the first time in the event’s 10-year history – and despite new alarming evidence of warming last week – they were pushing at an opening door. For last December the world reached an unexpectedly ambitious agreement in Paris to address the problem.
Some 366 landmarks around the world – ranging from the Sydney Opera House to Big Ben, from the Gherkin in London to the Colosseum in Rome, from Salisbury Cathedral to the Empire State Building – went dark last night. And so did Buckingham Palace, home to a remarkably green activist royal family (even the Queen has quietly indicated her concern about climate change).
Restaurants laid on special candle-lit dinners, the Forestry Commission organised night-time explorations and WWF, the event’s organisers, issued a list of “60 things to do in the dark, including going stargazing, wearing fluorescent fancy dress and telling scary stories” – but not the activity that, perhaps, first springs to mind.
One no-no, however, was to light candles – unless they were “100 per cent beeswax or soy”: normal ones, made of petroleum products, could release more carbon pollution than keeping the lights on.
Studies have shown that past Earth Hours have reduced electricity consumption by four per cent. But it is designed to be symbolic action, rather than an exercise in energy reduction. This year there is more to demonstrate about than ever. Last month, it was revealed on 14 March, was not merely the warmest February ever, but witnessed the biggest month-on-month jump in temperatures ever recorded – and by a big margin. Normally cautious climate scientists called it “jawdropping” “terrifying”, and “a true shocker”. 
Worse, the previous record rise occurred just the month before, in January. This has been the warmest winter ever worldwide, and February was the tenth successive record-breaking month.
Arctic sea ice – as exclusively predicted in The Independent on Sunday last month – is at its lowest ever winter maximum after what the blue-chip US National Snow and Ice Data Centre calls a season of “unrelenting heat”, while the extreme weather is also contributing to record droughts in Africa and Vietnam, and helped cause the biggest cyclone ever to hit Fiji, costing the country a tenth of its GDP. 
Scientists are already predicting that 2016 will be the hottest on record, for the third year running, finally exploding sceptics’ claims that global warming has stopped. Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, of Germany’s Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research, says the world is in “a completely unprecedented climate emergency”, while Deke Arndt, of the US government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, describes it as moving to a “new and hotter neighbourhood”.
And yet, Earth Hour had something to celebrate. Last week it was revealed that, for the second successive year, carbon emissions failed to increase in 2015 , even though the world economy grew – something that had not happened, even once, in four decades. China’s emissions actually fell by 1.5 per cent, as the world’s biggest polluter cut its use of coal and increased renewables.

For years the world has been investing more money in building power stations generating electricity from renewable sources than in ones fired by fossil fuels. Last year these provided a staggering 90 per cent of the world’s new power.
And in December in Paris the world’s governments unexpectedly agreed to phase out carbon emissions altogether by the second half of the century, committing themselves to meet every five years to set ever more ambitious intermediate targets, with the aim of holding the increase in the earth’s temperature since pre-industrial times to ”well below” the 2C since pre-industrial times long regarded as the threshold for dangerous climate change 
Present reduction plans fall well short of this, but there is now at least a chance of averting disaster. And last week a paper by Michael Jacobs of the Institute for Public Policy Research – who was at the heart of both the Paris and failed Copenhagen summits – concluded that the agreement was “the outcome of an unprecedented show of political power by a broad and diverse coalition of forces from civil society”. 
Earth Hour will have played a part – and, with many other actions – may help ensure eventual success.              Independent
