@Jasper10,
Quote:The statue of Shiva is outside the CERN facility just outside Geneva.
You definitely have a misunderstanding the significance of Shiva at CERN and what Oppenheimer meant when he said, "Now I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds." It's from the Bhagavad Gita, Shiva is the destroyer.
But Oppenheimer, seemingly, was never able to achieve this peace. “In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatements can quite extinguish,” he said, two years after the Trinity explosion, “the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.”

“He doesn’t seem to believe that the soul is eternal, whereas Arjuna does,” says Thompson. “The fourth argument in the Gita is really that death is an illusion, that we’re not born and we don’t die. That’s the philosophy, really. That there’s only one consciousness and that the whole of creation is a wonderful play.” Oppenheimer, perhaps, never believed that the people killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki would not suffer. While he carried out his work dutifully, he could never accept that this could liberate him from the cycle of life and death. In stark contrast, Arjuna realizes his error and decides to join the battle.
The rest of that mishimas is ... well ... mishimas.
BTW, Shiva at CERN was a gift from India.

Why is there a statue of Shiva the Destroyer at CERN? Your questions ...
Aug 24, 2023The Shiva statue was indeed a gift from India to memorialize the country's longstanding relationship with CERN, which emerged in the 1960s and persists to this day. Lord Shiva conducted the Nataraj dance, which symbolizes Shakti, or life force, in the Hindu religion.
So which Shiva is a and which is b????
