I've just fallen face-first down a rabbit hole. To be honest, I don't really know what I've stumbled across, but it's odd enough and strange enough to grab my attention. All that I have right now are the puzzle pieces. I don't know how to put them together, if they even CAN be put together. I submit this for your review. Perhaps someone else can make sense of them.

1. IBM has been working on a quantum computer. The online articles suggest that it is only in its infancy. I suspect it's much farther along than is being admitted to:

2. I've known about the existence of this computer for awhile now. What I didn't know was that CERN was involved with it:

3. The question I have is, what is CERN up to? I've run across some interesting websites, some seem plausible and other seem really out there. One project, "Awake," caught my eye, for obvious reasons:

4. Now, here are the really off-the-wall claims:

Whether any of these claims are true, are strictly fabrications, or just misdirection, I don't know. It's hard to know what to believe any more. But, generally-speaking, where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
