I have tried to make Time Crystal as factually accurate as possible, probably spending far too long researching the details of CERN, Geneva and the history of the universe, but I want the reader to know that what I describe is … Continue reading →
In Episode 15 of Cosmic Monopole (Volume 1 of Time Crystal), Marianne sings a song to Catriona as they wait for Alex Karolyi to bring the doctor down to Marianne in the underground ATLAS cavern. The melody was written by … Continue reading →
ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) is one of four detectors receiving high-energy particles from the LHC at CERN. The detector is shaped like a barrel lying on its side in a cavern about 100 metres below the ground near the … Continue reading →
The LHC is currently the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It is the main accelerator at CERN, and consists of an underground tunnel 27-kilometres long (shown here in yellow) containing superconducting magnets, cooling systems and other infrastructure surrounding … Continue reading →
CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research) is an international collaboration of scientists and engineers seeking to understand the fundamental nature of matter by using the world’s largest accelerator (the Large Hadron Collider or LHC) to create beams of high-energy particles travelling … Continue reading →
As revealed in Volume 2 of Time Crystal (The Time Tunnel), a group of beings from outside our Universe, called Argolaths, are trying to reach Earth in order to mate with human women. They hope thereby to create a hybrid … Continue reading →
The “Review of the Safety of LHC Collisions” by the LHC Safety Assessment Group, 2008, (see references below) studied the possible production at the LHC of hypothetical objects such as vacuum bubbles, magnetic monopoles, microscopic black holes and strangelets, and … Continue reading →
In Episode 7 of “The Cosmic Monopole”, Danny proposes to try to control the black hole with a fragment of the end-cap toroid which has emerged from ATLAS by plugging it into the mains. Is this feasible? A toroid is … Continue reading →
Over the past 12 years, I have spent a great deal of time and energy researching many aspects of CERN, of ATLAS and of Geneva. As a result of this hard work, almost all the technical details mentioned the volumes … Continue reading →
