00:23 Thanks for watching Heavens Declare. I'm Jim Burr and we're 00:28 continuing on with our series. The title of today's program is 00:35 The Hadron Collider. What's this all about? Before we get into 00:40 that there's something I wanted to pick up. We've been talking 00:45 in this series about evolution and the age of the earth and the 00:49 age of the universe and all these types of things and 00:53 there's something interesting and that is that they claim that 01:01 the earth is 4.5 billion years old. What's interesting, this 01:07 was not always believed. If you go back about 300 years it was 01:12 pretty much accepted that the earth was about 6000 years old. 01:17 That was generally accepted. But the earth has been getting older 01:21 every day, the earth has been getting older and in fact I had 01:27 a little exercise; I subscribed to the Rocky Mountain News, it's 01:32 no longer being published, but I subscribed to that and I 01:37 started clipping articles. Every day articles would appear - This 01:43 discovery pushes back the evidence of evolution. For one 01:49 year I watched the articles in the magazine and it totally is 01:54 is amazing. Because in one year if you add up all the 01:59 mathematics of these articles, the earth actually in one year 02:02 got like eight billion years old. I want to share some of 02:07 those articles with you. In about 1800 they believed that 02:12 the earth was about 80,000 years old. The 1700s science pretty 02:18 much thought it was about 6000 years old then it got to 80,000 02:24 years by 1800. By 1900 it became two billion years old. Today 02:30 it's 4.5 billion. So here's some of the articles that were in the 02:35 Rocky Mountain News in Colorado. This was November 4, I started 02:40 in the fall of the year, 1996 was when I started reading this 02:45 magazine. Now I do travel. I'm not always there every day so 02:49 I probably missed some articles. But the articles that I got were 02:53 amazing. So the first article I had was November 4, 1996. It 02:59 says "Signs of life in mineral grains push back 300 to 400 03:07 million years the origin of life. Scripps Service reported 03:15 that tool links humans to Siberia 300,000 years ago. That 03:22 was 10 times earlier than man was thought to venture that far 03:28 north. " On November 19, 1996, "The human jaw" they found a 03:34 human jaw, "2.3 million years. This extends the family tree by 03:44 400,000 years. " OK. In, well let's see in January 22, 1997, 03:51 OK, "Oldest tools in Ethiopia" OK they found the oldest tools 03:57 "these tools pushed back the record of life 200,000 years. 04:03 That was January 22, 1997. March "London's oldest mammal hair 04:09 discovered growing millions of years earlier than science had 04:15 thought. " And let's see that was March, 1997. April 14, 1997, 04:22 Associate Press said, "The first apes appeared in Africa 20 04:27 million... That was 10 million years earlier than previously 04:32 thought. " In May of 1997, "Farming started 10,000 years 04:38 ago... Pushes back the record date by about 4000 years. " In 04:44 October 23, 1997, "Termites key to events deeper into the past 04:51 about 60,000 years;" some termite hills that they 04:56 discovered. In July 25... OK, now if you put all these 05:02 together and here's the zinger. This is July 25, 1997, Rocky 05:08 Mountain News, "The Journal of Science says a 90-degree shift 05:13 in the poles may have caused the evolutionary big bang. " So they 05:18 are saying that the north and south poles shifted 90 degrees. 05:24 This was affect evolution. It may have caused an evolutionary 05:30 big bang. OK. "A sudden spurt in the evolutionary process 530 05:36 million years ago" OK that's when it happened, "and 05:42 proceeded 20 times faster than anything that has happened 05:46 since. " So evolution sped up by 20 times after this magnetic 05:52 shift of the poles and if you work that out, if you multiply 05:57 all those numbers and then multiply by 20, they say it 06:03 caused it 20 times faster, then you end up in that one year the 06:09 earth got 8 billion years older. Twice as old as they think it 06:15 is. I know once again we've got to cut these newspaper writers 06:19 some slack. They've got to find spectacular headlines to get 06:23 people to read, right? So we probably need to cut them a 06:27 little slack, but we can have some fun. We've been talking 06:30 about having some fun in a couple of these seminars that 06:33 we've done about science in the classroom and testing comparing 06:40 with the Bible. So this was kind of cool. When we're doing home 06:45 school, I like to carry a big frog along and get a couple of 06:49 girls to come up and kiss the frog and see if we can turn him 06:53 into a prince. Of course, it doesn't work. But if it did work 06:57 we call that a fairy tale unless you add millions and millions of 07:01 years, you see. Louis Pasteur demolished the theory of 07:05 spontaneous generation of life. But if you can push it way back 07:08 into the past where you can't test it, then given enough time 07:11 anything can happen. Over time little gradual change, gradual 07:14 change, natural selection, survival of the fittest, all of 07:21 this feeds into the theory of evolution. But we're ready to go 07:28 to the Hadron Collider in Switzerland and that's actually 07:32 underground. It's 17 miles in diameter, this huge, huge 07:37 facility; cost like $13 billion to build this underground, 07:40 involved with thousands of thousands of scientists and 07:44 countries involved to build the collider. The idea with the 07:49 collider is they want to see how the universe formed. They slam 07:53 protons together, they run them through this magnetic chamber 07:58 and take them up to as fast as they can, near the speed of 08:03 light, and slam them together because the idea is to find out 08:07 what the universe is made of, what happens when they smash 08:10 them together. You could take an ice cube and a hammer and you 08:13 could smash it and you'd find out you'd get water, and you 08:16 smash that and you get hydrogen and oxygen. You keep breaking 08:20 things down by smashing them together. They've been looking 08:23 for many things and they have all their theories about what 08:26 they're looking for and what they've found. The one big news 08:30 item now is the Higgs boson, the Higgs field, proposed by a guy 08:36 by the name of Higgs back around the 1960s. What he said was 08:41 he thinks there's a particle that prevents us from moving at 08:47 the speed of light and he says that everything that doesn't 08:51 have mass travels at the speed of light, you see, but we can't 08:56 travel at the speed of light. No matter can, according to 08:59 Einstein's theory of relativity. We can't travel at the speed of 09:02 light. It would take an infinite amount of energy to move us at 09:07 this infinite speed, the speed of light. It becomes heavier and 09:12 heavier, times slows down as we approach the speed of light. 09:18 But Higgs said he thinks there's this particle that prevents us 09:23 from traveling at the speed of light and if we could put like a 09:26 dimmer switch on this we could control that particle and then 09:31 we could be able maybe to move faster. But you know the Bible 09:34 says we're going to be changed. It says flesh and blood cannot 09:37 inherit the kingdom of God. So we're going to be changed in a 09:42 moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. But it 09:45 may have something to do with the Higgs field. They really 09:49 think they have found the Higgs boson in slamming these 09:52 particles. They keep increasing the power of the Hadron collider 09:57 so they can slam it harder and faster. I think it was 2012 they 10:03 said they thought that they had found the Higgs boson. So we'll 10:08 just show you a picture of the internal workings of the Hadron 10:13 collider. This is a giant, humongous, 12 billion dollar 10:18 facility. It's known for smashing together protons. The energy 10:22 from these collisions gets converted into matter producing 10:25 new particles that allow us to explore the nature of the 10:29 universe. I believe the Hadron collider proves Psalm 33 verse 6 10:33 where it says "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made. " 10:37 You see God's word is power. His Bible is powerful but his 10:44 word is power. If you look at Psalm 33 verse 6, "By the word 10:49 of the Lord were the heavens made," folks I believe that is 10:57 the E=MC2. That tells us the equivalence of matter and energy 11:05 You see E=MC2 tells us that matter can be turned into energy 11:12 or energy into matter, either way, it gets multiplied by the 11:18 speed of light squared, OK. The speed of light is incredibly 11:25 fast, 300,000 km/second, 186,000 miles/second. So the 11:30 speed of light squared is 56 billion miles/second. So that 11:34 tells us, if you work this formula out, that a very, very 11:39 small amount of matter can make a humongous amount of energy. 11:44 If you could release the energy of the atoms in a paper clip it 11:49 would be equal to 18,000 tons of TNT, in a paper clip, the power 11:56 of the atom. That's, of course, what runs the sun. The Hadron 12:03 collider has proven that scripture, Psalm 33 verse 6, 12:08 because they have taken energy, a million dollars' worth of 12:12 electricity every week and they've actually made particles. 12:16 Hebrews 1 verse 3 says, "Upholding all things by the 12:21 word of his power. " Jesus says "All power is given to me in 12:27 heaven and earth. " So the sun fuses 16 million metric tons of 12:34 hydrogen every second. We see this incredible power in the sun 12:38 We have another shot coming up of the Hadron collider here, 12:42 huge, huge, huge operation. The reference here saying that 12:46 "bunches of protons pass through each other at 40 million times 12:51 a second. " Forty million times a second they power them through 12:57 there. The Hadron collider is considered one of the great 13:00 engineering milestones of man kind. The LHC was built in 13:03 collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from 13:07 100 countries as well as 100 universities and laboratories. 13:11 The Bible says, "In the beginning God created the 13:14 heavens and the earth. " We're looking at a creation machine. 13:17 The Hadron collider is a creation machine. They've 13:21 actually been able to create matter by energy. This machine 13:25 is a creation machine able to produce, albeit, small amounts 13:30 of protons. We have another graphic coming up of the pin. 13:34 You could actually put about a million trillion protons on the 13:41 head of a pin. OK. So we took a million dollars' worth of 13:45 electricity every week and they've produced 16 protons. 13:49 So they've actually created energy. Here you see the results 13:53 of smashing particles together. You see how they travel out in 13:57 straight lines and that's supposed be kind of similar to 14:00 what happens in the Big Bang and yet when you see the results 14:04 from the Big Bang you see all the galaxies spinning. 14:06 The planets are rotating, they're spinning in orbit about 14:10 the stars and so forth. You know how do you get the galaxies to 14:13 spin and the planets to spin? So particle physics is a branch of 14:17 of physics which studies the nature of particles and matter. 14:21 When energy is transformed into mass, both matter and antimatter 14:25 are created in equal amounts. When enough energy is squeezed 14:29 into a very small space such as during the high energy particle 14:33 collisions at Cern or the Big Bang particles and antiparticles 14:37 are produced 14:39 spontaneously. We should not be here because antiparticles 14:45 would destroy particles. They cannot explain where the 14:52 antiparticles go to. It's called the CP symmetry, it's called 14:59 charged particles symmetry. When we get the Big Bang, supposedly, 15:05 or the Hadron collider we get equal amounts of particles and 15:10 antiparticles. But where do the antiparticles go to? I talked 15:15 to professor of physics, Dr. Picante, from Los Angeles and 15:20 asked him about that and you know how is it? He says well 15:24 in the beginning in the Big Bang he says actually when the Big 15:28 Bang happened we have equal amounts of particles and 15:31 antiparticles but we have a billion and one particles, we 15:36 have one more particle for every billion particles, we have one 15:40 more particle of matter than we have antimatter and therefore, 15:45 that's how the universe got here by the one extra particle of 15:51 matter... 15:57 This Hadron collider, using thousands of scientists trying 16:03 to investigate the universe, the origin of the universe, how it 16:08 happened, how it has evolved since. So according to the Big 16:11 Bang theory equal amounts of matter and antimatter were 16:15 initially created. In fact, this Dr. Picante said he wrote his 16:19 doctorate on CP symmetry, the issue of particles and 16:23 antiparticles. I'm going like so you had a big bang and you had 16:29 one billion and one particles and a billion of antiparticles, 16:34 then does the Big Bang repeat itself? How do you get the whole 16:39 universe from that? I'm not smart enough to understand it 16:44 I guess. But when matter and antimatter come together in 16:48 contact, they annihilate into pure energy. So when matter and 16:53 antimatter come together they destroy each other and what's 16:58 produced is pure energy or photons and nothing else. That's 17:04 from the Mystery of CP Violation The study of CP violation as 17:09 charged particles addresses a very fundamental question. Are 17:14 the laws of physics the same for matter and antimatter? 17:17 (Chuckles) Are matter and antimatter intrinsically 17:21 different? The answer to this question may hold the key to 17:27 solving the mystery of matter- dominated universe. Yes, many 17:33 mysteries, many things to learn and understand. We have, I think 17:40 another graphic coming up of another angle of the Hadron 17:45 collider. In Matthew 28, verse 14, Jesus says, "He came and 17:49 spake unto them saying, all power is given to me in heaven 17:53 and earth. " You talk about power. You see power in that 17:57 Hadron collider? Imagine a million dollars' worth of 18:00 electricity every week. It is a powerhouse, a big powerhouse. 18:04 And Jesus said all power is given to me in heaven and earth. 18:08 I found a statement in Steps to Christ where it says... 18:25 We were talking about the paper clip that would have 18,000 tons 18:31 of TNT if you could release the energy in the atoms. Do you 18:36 your problems are big for the Lord if one paper clip could 18:41 have that kind of power in the atoms that bind it together? 18:50 So we're told here that we can have power to overcome... 19:03 ...that comes from 1 Testimonies volume 1 actually page 341. 19:13 And Jesus said, "Ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the 19:20 right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven. " 19:28 We have a most beautiful picture here. It's called 19:32 A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics entanglement. This is 19:39 a newly-discovered mathematical object resembling a multifaceted 19:44 jewel in higher dimensions. So this is an artist's conception 19:50 trying to show us what they believe they see when they look 19:54 into quantum physics, quantum entanglement. A newly-discovered 19:59 mathematical object resembling a multifaceted jewel in higher 20:04 dimensions. Encoded in it's volume are the most basic 20:08 features of reality that can be calculated. And if we look at 20:13 Daniel 12 verse 4, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and 20:17 seal the book even to the time of the end. Many shall run to 20:21 and fro and knowledge shall be increased. " Is knowledge being 20:26 increased today? Yes, knowledge is being increased and we see 20:33 that we're nearing the time of the end. If you look at the 20:39 history of man, if look back at the time of Adam and Abraham, 20:44 they traveled on donkeys and horses, OK. You go all the way 20:50 down to Paul Revere on his horse You see, the mode of travel 20:55 really was pretty flat line for 6000 years; it was flat. 21:00 It hadn't really changed very much. The mode of communication, 21:06 Adam and Abraham, spoke with their voice. Paul Revere was 21:10 what? The midnight cry of Paul of Paul Revere. So for thousands 21:18 of years the mode of transportation and communication 21:20 was flat line. Knowledge was not increased. But then we went from 21:27 Kitty Hawk, North Carolina to the moon in 60 years. In 60 21:32 years we went from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina to the moon. 21:38 Talking about knowledge increasing, I have a business 21:42 card here. I have a little card here that I carry with me and on 21:47 this card is a USB drive. You can break it off, fold it up, 21:52 put it in your computer. There's more memory here than went to 21:57 the moon, that took our astronauts to the moon, on just 22:02 this little half-inch segment of the business card; more computer 22:06 memory. Bend it over, break it off, fold it up, more computer 22:11 memory than went to the moon. So it's amazing. The Bible says 22:15 knowledge will be increased and men will run to and fro. And 22:19 what's interesting, we're all familiar with the prophecies of 22:23 the Messiah, we're going to get into that too, but the 22:27 prophecies of the time of the end... There are going to be 22:30 famines and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places. 22:34 Knowledge shall be increased, men will run to and fro but the 22:40 Bible tells us in Matthew the end is not yet. We see all these 22:46 prophecies but the end is not yet. It goes on in Matthew and 22:51 then is says the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all 22:57 the world and then the end will come. So we have seen these 23:02 prophecies building till the end of time and I know we're there, 23:07 we're near the end of time, but then what it says is the gospel 23:11 will be preached in all the world, and we see that on 3ABN, 23:15 on nine satellites going around the world, don't we? We see all 23:20 the media that we have, I think I have 14 Adventist channels 23:25 coming into my home. And what is amazing, the gospel will be 23:30 preached in all the world. Do you know folks, there is 23:32 something that is just totally amazing. Do you know, the gospel 23:38 is going to the world like never before? Adventist World Radio, 23:44 we saw it at ASI. They had a count up clock there at ASI in 23:50 August of 2015 and do you know it would show you how many 23:56 sermons are being downloaded into China every day. They said 24:00 the only thing that runs faster than this clock is the U.S. 24:06 national debt clock. In August they were getting 11 million 24:12 Chinese downloading our sermons from Adventist World Radio. 24:16 Eleven million in a day last year and it's probably gone up 24:20 now, I would imagine, from that time. The previous year they had 24:27 8.5 billion downloads in the world, 8.5 billion sermons tuned 24:33 in to hear our message of the gospel. You see this church, we 24:38 have things that other people haven't heard. People are not 24:44 being told the truth about once saved always saved. They're not 24:48 being told the truth about the rapture. They're not being told 24:52 the truth about hell, ever- burning hell. They're not being 24:56 told the truth about the Sabbath and these things. You see, I see 25:01 God has provided maybe billions of dollars to get the message 25:07 out. It is just unbelievable to me what's happened. I think in 25:12 Saudi Arabia they were getting 60,000 downloads, pod cast 25:18 downloads. Adventist World Radio sent missionaries into one of 25:23 the countries over in the Viet Nam area there and in the back 25:27 woods of little villages. They went to the first village and 25:31 the chief met them and said you know there was a man here 25:35 dressed in white that told us to turn our radio to this place on 25:40 the dial because it would help our people and here this village 25:45 was already keeping the Sabbath. And they went on to another 25:48 village, another village, and another village; I think they 25:52 went to 21 villages and found an angel had already been there. 25:57 So you see we're not only nearing the end but the end will 26:01 come when the gospel is preached You know, Trinity Broadcasting 26:09 is humongous, I mean, it's humongous. But Trinity 26:13 Broadcasting takes 168 hours a week, 168 sermons a week and 26:18 have sermons from every perspective, OK. But you see we 26:23 have one consistent message that the world needs to hear. They 26:26 need to know about the Sabbath. They need to know about ever 26:28 burning hell, that it's not burning forever. They need to 26:31 know about the rapture and that it's not once saved always saved 26:35 I believe God has done a work to get this message out like 26:40 nowhere else on the planet. Folks, we thank you again for 26:44 watching Heavens Declare. Our time is gone. Thank you so much. 26:48 We'll see you next time. |
