036 PT.2 South American earthquakes and the CERN shutdown

from HISTORY AMERICAN · host HISTORY AMERICAN

On June 29, 2026, CERN initiated "Long Shutdown 3" (LS3), a scheduled four-year pause to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider into the High-Luminosity LHC. This project aims to increase particle collision rates tenfold by 2030, allowing for more precise study of the Higgs Boson and other rare phenomena. This shutdown has fueled intense conspiracy theories linking the facility to natural disasters. Proponents claim the collider's "electromagnetic pressure" triggered major earthquakes in Venezuela (magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5) and Colombia (7.4). However, experts clarify these are natural tectonic events caused by the interaction of the Caribbean and South American plates. Additionally, a red sky seen in Caracas was cited as a sign of interdimensional activity, though scientists identify it as Rayleigh scattering. Other theories suggest CERN has fractured space-time, leading to the Mandela Effect—collective false memories—and changes in time perception. Some social media users report that days feel "longer" or that sleep quality improved since the shutdown. Further claims involve the opening of interdimensional portals or the creation of Earth-destroying black holes, which physicists explain would evaporate instantly via Hawking radiation. Finally, theorists point to historical correlations with global crises like the 2008 financial crash and the COVID-19 pandemic. CERN denies these links, emphasizing that their experiments safely mimic natural cosmic rays that occur constantly throughout the universe without harm.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/history-american--6771636/support.IWelcome to the HISTORY AMERICAN podcast.
