In physics, the photon is particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field and thus the basic unit of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It is also the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. Photon has no mass and thus can produce interactions at long distances. And, what's this got to do with 2012 if anything at all?
Scientists have long recognized that the Universe has been growing larger since its origin 13.7 billion years ago(or was that 14.325 billion years?), but it was assumed the expansion should be slowing down due to the pull of gravity. In 1998, two teams of astrophysicists discovered that the expansion is actually speeding up. Scientists call it the "Dark Energy" because they have absolutely no clue as to what it is.
Enter Margaret McElroy, or Margaret M as she is known. An Australian now living in Seattle, Margaret says "The Photon Energy is causing so many problems for people all around the world. We think there are 24 hours in the day, but really there are only about 6 - 8. So many people don't have the time to do the things they plan each day. They go to the bank and, before they know it, it's lunchtime. One more appointment when they should have had two or three, and it's time for dinner!" Margaret said her friends in the world of spirit have told her it is called "Photon Energy," a band of energy traveling the Universe that is speeding everything up.
Friends in the spirit world. Hmmm!
If we can get the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) repaired it might give us some insights. The LHC will deliver proton–proton and nucleus–nucleus collisions at unprecedented energies, and it will be the first photon collider ever built at tera-electron-volt energies. By the way- that's BIG! :-) Then there are the Mayans.
The Mayans use 5, 10, and 20 (fingers and toes) as their base numbers. And we say we're sophisticated? But, I digress. The Mayan 4th world that we're now in comes to a close December 21, 2012. But, what does, "comes to a close mean?" The period from 1961 to 2012 specifically is caled the Photon Belt as we speed to our destiny with 12.21.2012!
So, we're speeding towards an historical date that mesmerizing for many.
As a spiritual-futurist, I interpret current events in light of possible macro-universal forces at play leading up to 2012, but not limited to it.
