Monday 29th September is an important date in the world of particle physics. For on this day in 1954, the convention was ratified that founded CERN (French for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire). Over the course of the last 60 years, CERN has become one of the most famous and best-funded science organisations on the planet: its 2014 budget is somewhere in the region of £786 million. It is also the birthplace, incidentally, of the World Wide Web.

There are 4-locks which lock this universe in shape.
Lock-one: Cabibbo angle (13.5 degrees), Weinberg angle (28.75 degrees), [(1/Alpha) = 137.0359 …]
Lock-two: Planck data (dark energy = 69.2; dark matter = 25.8; and visible matter = 4.82)
Lock-three: the pegs-lock which can only be opened by the exact pegs when they are inserted into the peg-key-holes. There are 48 peg-key-holes in this physical universe, and every peg is distinguished with a set of ‘name-codes’. The 48 matter particles form this pegs-lock.
Lock-four: {delta P x delta S > ħ} lock.
To find the keys for these 4-locks could be another way of looking for the answers. See http://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2014/11/18/naturalness-is-nature/ .
