At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
“Spinoza’s idea suggests a symmetry between the world of science and the world of perception. We are tragic beings for whom this harmony gets lost all too often. We go and look for it. Then it turns out the idea is best approached through music, while dancing…”
On a quest for a unifying theory, he is transported by McFadden’s voice into an alternate dimension, a “landscape of endless possibilities,” where she teaches him about the timelessness of dance, music, and love.

Very unsettling imagery. The man's watch going in reverse, man in desert as if receiving answers, people disintegrating as they're pulled into a portal. And more.
You know, all this brings to mind the Manhattan Project and the nuclear age being born. I personally believe we would have been better off without it. Now this, oh God, what are they opening up now? The video shows the people being pulled into the portal, well, while the portal is open what will come into this world? Have they even considered that? All their Phd's don't guarantee common sense or mental stability.
Aaaargh . . . whackos starting some kind of cult to build euphoria about the danger they're putting us in,
They even installed a statue of Shiva in front of one of the buildings, total whackos.

It is very disturbing.

Symmetry ? For the name of the movie from CERN ? Should it not be called Super-Symmetry ? Or maybe better , The Particle of God ?
he LHCb and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) made the first definitive observation of a particle called a Bs meson decaying into two muons, confirming a tentative observation made by LHCb last autumn. The discovery has far-reaching implications for the search for new particles and forces of nature, but is yet another blow for those hoping for signs so-called supersymmetry, or SUSY.
We already know that current physics accounts for only about 5% of the matter and energy in the universe. SUSY particles are one candidate for the missing 'dark matter' which is expected to make up 25% of the unknown rest
Incomplete theory
Professor Shears, from the University of Liverpool's Department of Physics, said: "It is one of the most frustrating confirmations we've ever had. We know our theory is incomplete, and this ultra-rare decay may give us clues as to what might replace it.
"But what this discovery tells us is that there are no signs yet of our best alternative, a theory called supersymmetry (SUSY). We haven't ruled out SUSY entirely, but we've definitely dismissed many of the most popular versions of it. We know that there must be new physics, but it's starting to look like this might be stranger than we'd imagined."

The search for supersymmetry: Come out, come out, wherever you are!

The statue is a gift from India, celebrating CERN's long association with India which started in the 1960's and continues strongly today. It was unveiled by the Director General, Dr Robert Aymar, His Excellency Mr K. M. Chandrasekhar, Ambassador (WTO-Geneva) and Dr Anil Kakodkar, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and Secretary, Dept of Atomic Energy, India.
In the Hindu religion, this form of the dancing Lord Shiva is known as the Nataraj and symbolises Shakti, or life force. As a plaque alongside the statue explains, the belief is that Lord Shiva danced the Universe into existence, motivates it, and will eventually extinguish it. Carl Sagan drew the metaphor between the cosmic dance of the Nataraj and the modern study of the 'cosmic dance' of subatomic particles.
