CONSPIRACY theorists claim that CERN’s July 5th test will cause “demonic portals” to be opened.
Internet nuts are urging people to counteract their plans with a “warfare prayer”.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN, operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world.
It’s 10 years since they announced the discovery of the “God particle”, aka the Higgs boson particle.
To mark the occasion, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will restart on July 5 after several years of shutdown.
One of the things scientists hope to understand more is so-called dark matter.
But conspiracy theorists believe it’s a “cloaked phrase with an alternative meaning” for something more sinister.
People have expressed their concern about the “portal” that will open after two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they collide.
“They’re going to find death, destruction and ruin,” a bonkers video on YouTube viewed by almost 50,000 people claims.

“They’re going to open up something that will usher in the end of days.”
But there’s nothing to worry about, CERN has been going since 1954 and has played host to thousands of experts over the years who have worked on groundbreaking discoveries.
Its main goal is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics.
Several well-known experiments have been constructed at the institute through international collaborations, such as the creation of the World Wide Web.
