CERN IS black mesa

If there really is some sort of connection between CERN and Half-Life, what do you think it is? Is CERN consciously copying what Half-Life did, even including similar looking scienstists? Did Valve somehow predict what was going to happen back in the nineties, and made Half-Life based on that? I think the second option makes more sense. It's like the ancient Greek idea of the muse, that artists receive a gift from the muse, from some metaphysical force, and make their art based on it. It would explain why different people have similar ideas. It's not that great artists are necessarily so creative, but they are connected to something that gives them ideas.

This might be the reason why Half-Life 3 doesn't get made though. Either Valve noticed that stuff they wrote into their games happens in real life, and were spooked, or someone told them they shouldn't do the sequel because it will have serious consequences.

CERN created the internet.

or at least that's what the facts are in this timeline.

in my timeline CERN never created the internet.

CERN creating the internet is a claim I've started hearing only in recent years. I don't know if there has been some reality shift though, since the claim seems to be that CERN created the World Wide Web, but ARPANET is still credited as becoming "the technical foundation of the internet". It might simply be that certain people don't want people to associate the internet with secret military projects.

There is also the meme that Al Gore created the internet, which is supposedly based on misquoting Gore somehow.
