⚡ CERN’s “Project God’s Shadow” — The Experiment That Looked Back 🌀 Whispers from deep beneath Switzerland say something unexpected happened at CERN last month. During a high-energy test of the Large Hadron Collider, scientists weren’t observing a new particle — they were being observed. According to leaked accounts, monitoring screens began showing a figure made of static, slowly forming inside the collision data. Each burst of energy made it clearer — until it started mimicking the scientists
