Large
Hadron Collider Disproves the Existence of Ghosts
“Many people believe in ghosts despite the
fact that scientific proof of their existence is tenuous at best. After all,
science hasn't exactly disproven the existence of ghosts yet either, has it? Well, perhaps it has.
According to renowned theoretical physicist Brian Cox, science has essentially
already built the ultimate ghost detector — the Large Hadron Collider — and it
has failed to detect anything that could explain ghosts. As he points out on The Infinite Monkey Cage on BBC radio, there's simply no more room left for ghosts in the Standard
Model of Particle Physics.”
Actually, there never has been any
room in the Standard Model of particle physics for ghosts. And, even if ghosts
could be revealed in terms of physical parameters, evidence from the LHC would
hardly be expected. Why in the world would a ghost hang around the LHC anyway?
However, the proof that there could
be something not detected by the high-energy particle smasher may be right under
their noses. They haven’t found dark matter particles or dark energy in the
LHC, have they? And yet dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95% of
the universe.
They
go on to quote Brian Cox as saying:
"If we want some sort of pattern that carries
information about our living cells to persist, then we must specify precisely
what medium carries that pattern, and how it interacts with the matter
particles out of which our bodies are made. We must, in other words, invent an
extension to the Standard Model of Particle Physics that has escaped detection at
the Large Hadron Collider.”
OK,
that’s exactly what we’ve done with True quantum unit analysis and the third
form of reality (gimmel, not detectable as matter or energy) which is
indirectly detectable because it affects angular momentum and atomic stability.
Mainstream particle physicists have missed it completely because they don’t
believe there is anything other than matter and energy.
Brian
Cox goes on to say: “That's almost
inconceivable at the energy scales typical of the particle interactions in our
bodies."
The
article continues:
“The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most
complex experimental facility ever built; the largest single machine in the
world. It's a particle collider that smashes particles together at incredible
speeds to reveal any tinier particles that might emerge from the collisions.
While the LHC can't be said to be definitively powerful enough to have detected
every particle in the universe, it's certainly powerful enough to have
penetrated to the fundamental levels that pertain to how our cells use energy.
‘I would say if there's
some kind of substance that's driving our bodies, making my arms move and legs
move, then it must interact with the particles out of which our bodies are
made," continued Cox. "And seeing as we've made high-precision
measurements of the ways that particles interact, then my assertion is that
there can be no such thing as an energy source that's driving our bodies.’
In other words, there's
simply nothing that's been identified by the LHC that could possibly carry on
after our bodies die, not within the Standard Model.”
The
writer of the article seems to redeem himself a little:
“But what about outside the Standard Model?
After all, the Standard Model has been shown to contain some glaring holes, and
many physicists today acknowledge that it's an incomplete theory as currently
constructed.
Cox anticipates this
rebuttal. He admits that there are plenty of problems with the Standard Model,
but firmly contends that ghosts don't fall within the ‘known unknowns’ of the
theory. In other words, the Standard Model explains enough of the universe to
rule out an afterlife.”
NO, IT DOESN’T! This argument is just
plain silly. It’s like saying atoms don’t exist because I’ve never seen one,
and then saying since my theory explains enough for me, it rules out atoms.
The
article goes on: “Cox's argument, if
considered valid, might not be enough to convince those who believe in
supernatural forces beyond what can be observed by science, but it at least
backs such believers into their very own corner.
And perhaps there's still
room for ghosts in the minds of the rest of us too. After all, just because
ghosts aren't the stuff of physics doesn't mean they can't still haunt us.”
This ending to the article just shows
that the writer has not thought very much about such things. It is the materialists
who occupy a very small corner of reality.
