Dear Israel: I Kissed Your Soil when Germany Persecuted My Family

Posted by in categories: existential risks, particle physics

Now I ask you as your only fidel (in the old sense) son to save the planet by officially quitting CERN until they no longer refuse to provide evidence against the proven fact that they are attempting to turn the planet into a black hole in a few years’ time.

There must be one person in Israel who believes me.

    After 7 hours still no answer from Israel.

    Otto, I think you over-estimate the stature of the Lifeboat blogs. It is not quite the UN assembly you have an audience with here — just a wee assortment of academics.

    On the subject matter of a country withdrawing from the CERN Council, this would surely be counter-productive, as it surrenders a vote. It also turns its back on technical innovation which may well prove to be quite harmless after the issues are debated.

    “which may well prove to be quite harmless after the issues are debated”:
    I agree and hope you are right, Tom.

    But until we know, this is with a non-small probability the deepest emergency of history. One lay person the planet — or in tiny Israel — can be hoped to ask officially whether it is true that CERN fears “having a look at the proof” more than the danger if the offered proof holds water.

    This any proof given does — hold water — until a counterproof has been offered. I wish to be prosecuted for demansding clarity. I find it disgusting if the whole world says: “We hate you so much for insisting that we rather commit suicide than checking your proof which if true saves our lives.”

    So stupid the planet at large may be, but in Israel there must be one person who sees his or her holy responsibility for the “man who won against g.d”. I dare count on an orthodox rabbi — the one who is chosen.

    So many wors to say why it is justified not to look at an offered proof.
    As if a fool’s voice could not save your life, dear friend.
