Why is there something rather than nothing? Why does so much interesting stuff exist in the universe? Particle physicist Harry Cliff works on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and he has some potentially bad news for people who seek answers to these questions. Despite the best efforts of scientists (and the help of the biggest machine on the planet), we may never be able to explain all the weird features of nature. Is this the end of physics? Learn more in this fascinating talk about the latest research into the secret structure of the universe.

I like how people are willing to put blind faith in a multiverse that they can never know exists, nor have any evidence for, but are so hard-hearted against God who has revealed Himself through His creation. From a worldly point of view there is a un-explainable fine-tuning of our universe. Fine tuning to such a degree that atheists must escape to the life raft called the multiverse. Yet they turn around and laugh at those who put their faith in Jesus who has proven Himself to be God. Wisdom of this world is foolishness to God and people need to repent (turn from sin) and put their faith in the only reasonable faith: Jesus Christ. I am sure this will offend people but my hope is that they will critically think about it.

[Romans 1:18-22] 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown [it] to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible [attributes] are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, …

Fascinating discussion to be had and yet the cynicism of ignorant fuckwits on the internet just claim it's clickbait or sensationalist.

"totally something unexpected out of these violent collisions using LHC". This Large Hydrogen Collider will end life on earth someday if physics continues.
