9 For a list of particle physics laboratories, search for “list of accelerators” in Wikipedia. Those most active are in Geneva Switzerland (CERN), Chicago IL USA (Fermilab), Brookhaven NY USA (RHIC), Frascati Italy (DAΦNE), Beijing China (BES III), Novosibirsk Russia (BINP), Bonn Germany (ELSA) and Oxfordshire England (RAL).
10 Superstring cosmologists believe dark matter is made of ‘weakly interacting massive particles’ (WIMPs), which move like fluid through physical matter on 11 different dimensional planes without colliding. According to the FLRW metric, dark matter constitutes 80% of material in the universe. See: Guzman, Matos, Nunez and Ramirez: Quintessence Like Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies (2000); Zwicky, F: Die Rotverschiebung von extragalaktischen Nebeln (1933); Schirber, Michael: New Cosmic Theory Unites Dark Forces (2008); and Kane G. and Watson S.: Dark Matter and LHC: What is the Connection?

11 Scientists say the sun’s volatile behavior could cause problems on Earth. “The problem is solar storms: figuring out how to predict them and stay safe from their effects,” said International Living with a Star (ILWS) chairperson Lika Guhathakurta from NASA’s Headquarters. In fact, the sun and Earth are actually connected by invisible...lines of force [that] can be traced all the way from Earth’s poles to the surface of the sun. “The Earth and sun are interconnected,” Guhathakurta said. “We cannot study them separately anymore.” If current forecasts are correct, the solar cycle is expected to peak during the years around 2013. A report by the National Academy of Sciences warned that a “century-class solar storm” could cause billions of dollars in economic damage. Scientists at the ILWS meeting are hoping to address concerns of a “solar Katrina” situation. Source: “Solar Flare Activity Continues To Increase” by Denise Chow, Space on MSNBC.com, July 19, 2010.
12 Physicists postulate that just as there are whirlpools in fluids and whirlwinds in air, there may exist similar vortices on land, at the nexus of dark matter spirals formed by gravity or magnetism around the planet. In atmospheric physics, a mesovortex can extend a few miles point-to-point. In quantum physics, a terrestrial megavortex (or landhatch) has a similar linear property, tunneling across the curvature of the globe to connect distant points. Attempts to map these land vortices have been made over the centuries by Plato, Bird, Becker & Hagens and others, but have often been regarded as pseudoscience. That the Long-coats’ operations manual includes several chapters on the science and operation of using ‘Holepunch’ devices to access these ‘Landhatches’ reveals they can be navigated with the right technology. GPS mapping tools can be found by pointing your search engine at “Earth Grid KML”.
HOUNDS OF HELL
DURING ANY WEEKDAY it was one of the five busiest places on the planet, but before five o’clock on a Wednesday morning the Financial District of London exhibited only slightly more signs of life than the surface of the moon.
Early-rising pigeons and scavenging seagulls wandering far from the coast scattered into the darkness as the seven Longcoats emerged from the tube exit. Hands in pockets, Lion in the lead, they started down a side street in the direction of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Hummer’s fingers expectantly fondled the weapon that suddenly materialized in his largest left-side pocket. Jax was starting to transfer gear invisibly between the coats. “What we look for this time, Jax?”
The French girl spoke without taking her eyes off the narrow street down which they were advancing, her scar casting a vertical shadow on an otherwise flawless face. “Don’t know, Hums. Only that its signature is smaller than last night’s Kraken.”
“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?” Eastwood inquired innocently, thumbing an identical wristband to the one Jax was using, getting used to the dials
