Why We Shouldn’t Fear CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Why We Shouldn’t Fear CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

(Despite What Happens in My Novels)

As I predicted in my Dimension Space series, CERN has completed a phase of the Large Hadron Collider’s High Luminosity upgrade and reinitiated proton-proton collisions. However, as I also state in my books, LHC’s energy levels are nowhere close to those that nature produces uncountable times per day within Earth‘s upper atmosphere and across the cosmos. So we shouldn’t fear CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. If any of those cosmic ray proton collisions were capable of opening a rift in space-time or shifting us into some other layer of the multiverse, or any of the different doomsday scenarios the conspiracy theorists proffer daily, the universe wouldn’t have survived long past its formation.

Cosmic rays bombard our atmosphere constantly. These high-energy particles arrive from outer space. The majority (89%) are protons (just like those slammed together in the Large Hadron Collider beneath Geneva). The most energetic of these arrive with energy levels far surpassing that which we will ever be able to attain in our wildest imaginings.

Scientists believe that the highest energy particles are accelerated across the universe by the supermassive black holes that reside within the heart of most, if not all, galaxies. So not only are these powerful cosmic rays raining down through our upper atmosphere, they’re doing so on celestial bodies across the universe (Multiverse?😜).

There is a possibility that the LHC will one day reach an energy level that generates micro black holes. However, those will evaporate in a flash of Hawking radiation. And just as I stated above, nature has likely been creating them since its inception. If those tiny singularities could live long enough to fall into a planet, causing the entire heavenly body to collapse into a larger black hole, the universe would be a cold dark place filled with nothing but black holes.

We Shouldn’t Fear CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

So we shouldn’t fear CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. It can’t do anything to us that the universe hasn’t already tried to do uncountable times since its formation.

Now, don’t blame me if a race of xenophobic hostile robots latches onto one of those micro black holes, opens a wormhole, and crosses over to our brane of the multiverse. 🤣 There’s nothing I can do about that. 🤷 ( But it might make for an interesting story…)

NOW AVAILABLE! FORTITUDE: MULTIVERSE SPACE #2 DIMENSION SPACE #5

WHAT’S FORTITUDE: MULTIVERSE SPACE BOOK TWO ABOUT?

The only way forward is farther back into an alien past…

Military Special Operators Battling Across the Multiverse. Present-Day Fighter Pilots Thrust into Space Combat. Both Teams Waging an All-or-Nothing War to Reset an Altered Timeline.

Still trapped decades in the past, Vaughn and his band of military pilots and SAS special operators battle the Necks across the multiverse. Our heroes now wield powerful new allies and weapons, but the enemy robots refuse to go peacefully into the night. Attacking dirtside and spaceside simultaneously, both teams fight to flip the fortunes of battle because there’s only one answer when the question is them or us.

Fortitude pits advanced alien warships, secret weapons, brave heroes, and a smart-assed battlebot against a mechanized enemy bent on destroying all life. Fans of Expeditionary Force, the Bobiverse, Live Die Repeat, and Dimension Space will love the thrilling action in this time-travel multiverse war epic.

What Your Favorite Authors are Saying About the Dimension Space Universe

“Like ‘The Martian’ on (and above) Earth. An epic survival story with very human characters, clever problem-solving and a gripping mystery. The end left me with NO IDEA where Dean was going with the story, I couldn’t wait for the next book.”

—Craig Alanson, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Expeditionary Force Series

“R.C. Bray and Julia Whelan are individually stellar. Having them co-voice Dean M. Cole’s superb Dimension Space Series is a stroke of genius. Rich with elements of every genre, Solitude is an outstanding listen.”

—Nicholas Sansbury Smith, USA Today Bestselling Author of Hell Divers

Dimension Space Book 4 or Multiverse Space Book 1

Magnitude: Dimension Space Book 4 or Multiverse Space Book 1 Available Now

Magnitude is the next book in my Dimension Space universe. It is both Dimension Space Book 4 and Multiverse Space Book 1.

Magnitude picks up a month after the events in Amplitude, the third Dimension Space book. I wrote Magnitude such that you can jump in here without having to read the other books. The series has shifted more to military science fiction as compared to Solitude, so I wanted to give those fans a chance to enter the series. My plan for world domination is that readers new to my vision of the multiverse will like Magnitude so much they go back and read the first three books, but it’s not required to enjoy this one.

You can now order Magnitude’s audiobook and ebook. It is listed as Multiverse Space Book One, but don’t let that throw you. The new trilogy keeps all the characters of Dimension Space, including BOb, everybody’s smart-assed Battle Operations bot.

R.C. Bray is Back for Dimension Space Book 4

R.C. Bray is once more leading us into the depths of the multiverse. He lent his silken gravelly voice to the novel, and I think you’re going to love it. The advanced readers are calling MagnitudeDean’s best book yet!

Click on the links below to order your copy of Dimension Space Book 4 (or Multiverse Space Book 1) today.

What’s Magnitude: Dimension Space Book 4 About?

A team of military special operators. A lost race of advanced beings. An invading swarm of land-hungry sentient robots.

An elite team of SAS special operators battle across the multiverse after a plague of land-hungry sentient robots invade today’s Earth. But, when an aircraft carrier-based counterattack goes horribly wrong, it traps the team in an alien universe with a top-secret group who’ve already saved the world twice. After discovering a dark plot that threatens humanity’s very existence, the two groups jump into action, fighting both on the surface and in orbit in a last-ditch effort to stop the enemy before time runs out.

With the fate of two Earths hanging in the balance, the combined teams must pull a lost race of advanced beings off history’s scrapheap, or humanity will join them in oblivion.

Magnitude combines sleek starships, strange aliens, and high-tech weaponry to pit heroes, zeroes, and a smart-assed battlebot against powerful enemies. Fans of Live Die RepeatExpeditionary Force, the Bobiverse, and Dimension Space will love the thrilling action in this time-travel multiverse war epic.

Solitude Makes Amazon Top 20 and Audible Top 10

Solitude Makes Amazon Top 20 and Audible Top 10

Thank you for making the launch of the Multitude audiobook a resounding success. It’s been a boon to book one in the series. Assisted by the release of its sequel and helped along by an Audible Daily Deal, Solitude made the Amazon Top 20 and Audible Top 10, finishing the second week of April at #17 and #7 respectively. We even surpassed George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling for a time, this during the month when Game of Thrones is airing its final episodes on HBO.

Thanks again for your support. Time for me to get back to writing. Have a great week.

2014 Galveston Lone Star Motorcycle Rally

My ‘Choppers’

Many of my readers only know me as an author who flies ‘choppers’ for his day job, but you may not know I build and ride them, as well.

I finished the baby pictured above in June 2008. A few months later, she made her Galveston Lone Star Motorcycle Rally debut, and she’s still going strong in 2014. It’s almost time for this year’s rally. Look for Donna and me there November 7-9.

Save us a parking space … a really long parking space with plenty of turning room. That rake allows for the turning radius of a Mack truck … but it looks good doing it. Hey, I never said it was practical.

When you see that ten-foot-long yellow chopper with my beautiful wife, Donna, behind my ugly mug, give us a yell. If you can’t remember my name, just yell out, “Hey you, author!”

Hope to see you there.

Me and the Chopper on the Cover of the Houston Chronicle 2008 — Hurricane-Ike-Delayed Lone Star Rally

Bike Stats:
Chasis: 2007 JSR Custom – Outrage

Parking a 10′ chopper can be a challenge.
