i was looking at the about page, and on the picture of the Babel Facility being built, what is that thing on the right tower? Looks like Darth Vaders head.

Also, regarding the image at the bottom of Babel Research:



2nd icon is from Portal, but what does the first icon reference?

Thanks.

[22:23] manualdeathsum had an idea while he was trying to sleep
[22:28] manualdeathsum checks the thread, finds nothing about his idea
[22:35] manualdeathsum: Alright, here's what I was thinking
[22:36] manualdeathsum: Just in case anyone might be listening
[22:36] manualdeathsum: On the babel-research.eu, the link for the Involuntary Stomach Discharger is spelled wrong (Involentary)
[22:36] manualdeathsum: Timsmit is not stupid. In the ISD article, he spells Involuntary correctly
[22:37] manualdeathsum: UE_join isn't UEC because it doesn't even pertain to the UEC--maybe he's talking about the transposition of the U and the E
[22:37] manualdeathsum: there is a graphic in the ISD article with a tiny dot in it
[22:38] manualdeathsum: this dot perfectly matches the dot near the groin of the soldier on the right side of UE_join.jpg
[22:38] manualdeathsum: what I'm trying to figure out is WHY

Any of you wanna take a stab at it?

I found this interesting. I used the number code associated with the colored dots on top of the Babel Research page (the dots used to unlock the safety procedure document) and applied it to the colored dots in the Babel Group logo on the main page. The corresponding numbers turn out to be 451. As these dots are likely the be the same dots on the UE_join but in greyscale, I wonder if the number 451 has any significance to Babel Research or to UEC. Any ideas?

You know, I bet at the top of the Babel Research's tower (the Tower of Babel) is an isolated Higgs boson, the God particle, contained by the Higgs, Brout, and Englert towers. The ancients devised the Tower of Babel at the command of king Nimrod to reach Heaven and God Himself. Can't be a coincidence.

Whatever's in the Box may have unstablized the boson and turned it "inside out". From here, we venture into the realm of hypothesis.

The Higgs boson is supposed to be the element that gives things mass. Well, a particle with mass but no matter would be like a party balloon. Heft, but no substance. ...Well, what happens when you pop a balloon? It collapses.

What's in the vortex at the top of the tower? A singularity. Because the Higgs boson magnetic containment field failed, I bet you whatever's in the Box collapsed the mass-giving Higgs boson and turned it into a mass-eating singularity. Or perhaps the boson had already collapsed when our protagonist awoke, and the Box merely did something else. Maybe he was trying to use the Box to repair the field or restore stability to the boson. (Is there such a thing as the "opposite" of a black hole?) Maybe it contains dark matter, possibly baryonic.

A little bathroom reading:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemons_in_astrophysics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_particle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole

All conjecture at this point, but something to consider, and something that may bring us one step closer to the contents of the Box.
