Cern - the new Stonehenge

It struck me with
astounding clarity the other day that all of us possess a front row seat in witnessing
the construction of a religious landmark of monumental proportions . The
purpose of this ceremonial site is certain to baffle coming generations for many
a millennia after the answers die with us.

We are witnessing the
construction of another Stonehenge,  far grander
that the first one; another monument erected for the same reason; the unwillingness
to apply common sense. The new landmark is called Cern and it is magnificent.

Is it not remarkable how
we humans are destined to repeat our mistakes by setting grand religious canons
in stone and clinging to them instead of coming down to Earth for a closer look.
Common sense may seem crude but it has brought us wisdom for a hundred
millennia.

The new malaise in physics
comes from two competing roadmaps with passionate soldiers using the best
mathematical weapons. A hundred years ago , there was place for two warlords and
the banners of Einstein and Bohr flew above the battlefield and fundamental physics
have been in the trenches ever since with no end in sight.

All we have today is a
behavioral theory called the Standard Model that can statistically predict how the mysterious ‘things’ called mass and energy react when brought into close proximity. In
fact the Standard Model does not have the slightest idea what corporeal mass or energy actually is. Even such mundane things as the size of the common Proton remains a mystery. 

There is of course a
String Theory attempting to tell us something but their leaders are dancing at
the Versailles court dressed in mathematical garments so finely woven that
common folks cannot even see them. It may take a selfless child to tell them that
the Cardinals are naked.

Those of you who actually read
the first 40 pages of the Primal Code and ponder the consequences will realize without math where
Einstein and Bohr went wrong. But be aware, on a road less travelled, your invitation
to the banquet at Stonehenge may never arrive.
