CERN to be turned off for two years

The Large Hedron Collider will be turned off after February 2013, for two years of “maintenance” and “upgrades”.

Although the LHC will not be running after February 2013, CERN certainly will. The whole accelerator chain will undergo maintenance, ready for running at a higher energy in 2015. Projects such as the Compact Linear Collider and High Luminosity LHC are already working on next-generation technology for future accelerators and detectors.” [source]

The Large Hadron Collider will go into a long shutdown early next year to allow scientists and technicians to prepare it for higher collision energy in 2015.
It has been running at 7 TeV; scientists plan for it to reemerge at upward of 13 TeV. Beginning in February of 2013, highly coordinated teams will spend 20 months preparing its equipment for the change.

Very curious indeed, because this is around the time that we could see the start of the “Global Coastal Event” time period (as discussed by Clif High), and it is also the start of huge planetary events, as found by the Farsight Institute in their remote viewing experiments. If a thunderstorm is coming your way, turn of your tv. Or there will be “other” experiments that will not be published.

Quantum gas goes below absolute zero

Physicists have created an atomic gas with a sub-absolute-zero temperature for the first time.
Lord Kelvin defined the absolute temperature scale in the mid-1800s in such a way that nothing could be colder than absolute zero. Physicists later realized that the absolute temperature of a gas is related to the average energy of its particles. Absolute zero corresponds to the theoretical state in which particles have no energy at all, and higher temperatures correspond to higher average energies. […] Schneider and his colleagues reached such sub-absolute-zero temperatures with an ultracold quantum gas made up of potassium atoms. Using lasers and magnetic fields, they kept the individual atoms in a lattice arrangement. At positive temperatures, the atoms repel, making the configuration stable. The team then quickly adjusted the magnetic fields, causing the atoms to attract rather than repel each other. “This suddenly shifts the atoms from their most stable, lowest-energy state to the highest possible energy state, before they can react,” says Schneider.

Earthquake Strikes Off West Coast Of Alaska

An earthquake measuring 7.7 has been recorded in the Pacific Ocean off Alaska.
The quake was centred about 60 miles (100 km) southwest of Port Alexander at a depth of about six miles (10km), according to the US Geological Survey.
The Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre says some areas are seeing small sea level changes, but there will be no widespread destructive wave that had earlier been warned about.

Interior Alaska has experienced numerous small quakes during the past few weeks, which isn’t unusual. Many residents felt the magnitude 3.4 quake at about 11:15 p.m. on Dec. 18. The quake was centered near Minto, about 40 miles northwest of Fairbanks.
These smaller quakes don’t often predict larger quakes in the near future. They can serve as a reminder of the ever-present possibility, though.
The Alaska Range on our southern horizon is jagged for a reason – the peaks are still being uplifted by tectonic activity. On Nov. 3, 2002, an earthquake of 7.9 magnitude hit in the center of the mountains straight south of Fairbanks. It was the largest inland quake in North America during the previous 150 years. In some locations, ground on each side of the Denali Fault came to rest offset by as much as 13 feet vertically and 28 feet horizontally.
