I'm only up to page four of this very interesting thread, but I've already (last year) done a little research into the LHC/bottomless pit
connection as it relates to the passage in Revelation telling the wise to calculate the number of the beast, and I thought I should bring this up:
Revelation 13:18
"This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." [NIV]
Some believe that the book of Revelation was a thinly veiled political statement against the emperor Nero, and that John was actually lambasting the
persecution of Christians in his own time, etc., and that John's reference to the beast and his number, 666, was pointing at Nero, whose name
calculated using Gematria* totals 666.
"Gematria or gimatria (Hebrew: גימטריה, gēmaṭriyā) is a system of assigning numerical value to a word or phrase, in the belief that
words or phrases with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other, or bear some relation to the number itself as it may apply to a
person's age, the calendar year, or the like." -

Last year I was looking into CERN on Wikipedia and discovered the following:
"History
The convention establishing CERN was signed on 29 September 1954 by 11 countries in Western Europe.a[›][1] The acronym CERN originally stood, in
French, for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Council for Nuclear Research), which was a provisional council for setting up the
laboratory, established by 11 European governments in 1952. The acronym was retained for the new laboratory after the provisional council was
dissolved, even though the name changed to the current Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Organization for Nuclear
Research) in 1954.[4] According to Lew Kowarski, a former director of CERN, when the name was changed, the acronym could have become the awkward OERN,
and Heisenberg said that the acronym could "still be CERN even if the name is [not]".[citation needed]
Soon after its establishment, the work at the laboratory went beyond the study of the atomic nucleus, into higher-energy physics, an activity which is
mainly concerned with the study of interactions between particles. Therefore the laboratory operated by CERN is commonly referred to as the European
laboratory for particle physics (Laboratoire européen pour la physique des particules) which better describes the current research being performed at
CERN." -

Notice that the original acronym for "CERN" was "OERN", an anagram for "NERO", and that NERO adds up to 666 using Gematria.
Spooky (Mulder), or what?
