Greetings Joshua,
Yes, I have heard of this hadron collider before, but never applied it to the opening of the Abyss. Thank you for sharing this. Though it is an interesting theory, it is important to pay attention to the details given in scripture. That said, John says that he sees an angel that has fallen from heaven to the earth and he has a key with which to open the shaft of the Abyss. We must also remember that this is just one event of three sets of seven plagues of wrath which Jesus is initiating and therefore these events are not something that is caused by mankind.
Also, as mentioned above, the angel has a key to unlock the Abyss, whether it is a spiritual key or a material key, that is irrelevant. For whatever the substance of the key, it is required to unlock the Abyss. If we to apply this hadron collider as being what opens the dimension for those demonic beings to come out of the Abyss, then we would also have to consider the following:
"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the Abyss, holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete. After that, he must be released for a brief period of time."
As can be seen from the scripture above, at the end of the tribulation period, when Jesus returns to the earth to end the age, another angel has been given the key to the Abyss to lock it back up, which will have remained open from 5th seal until the Lord's return. If we were to apply the hadron collider theory, we would have to ignore the information regarding the angel who unlocks the Abyss, as well as this angel who throws Satan into the Abyss and locks it back up. We would also have to have an answer as to how human beings could use a hadron collider to put Satan into the Abyss. Keep in mind also that, at the time that the Lord returns to end the age, the earth will be in complete ruin and the majority of the population will have been decimated. My point being that, this hadron collider would no longer be in operation and there would most likely be no one to operate it.
In keeping with scripture, I personally believe that the seven sets of plagues of wrath, the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments, will be performed by God through his angels, opposed to crediting mankind as being the initiator of God's wrath.

What I mean is, in the first chapters of Revelation Christ sends 7 letters to the seven angels of the seven churches. We already understand that those letters are for Christ's people in one way or another, and yet they were addressed to the angels presiding over those churches. We know we're currently in one of those churches right now (whether you believe in church ages or not), and yet no one has ever visually witnessed an actual angel leading any congregation.
So isn't it possible that this set the precedent/pattern; that whenever we read of an angel in the events of Revelation that that's simply what's happening on the *spiritual side* (i.e. behind the scenes) of the world, and still has to unfold on the *physical side* through natural means?
Like for instance, let's take the angel and the abyss scene:
In Revelation 9:1-2 & 11 we read that an angel/star falls {Greek "peptōkota"} from heaven with the key to the abyss...while in Revelation 20:1 we read that an angel descends {Greek "katabainonta"} out of heaven with a key to the abyss and a great chain.
If we pay attention to the details these are two different actions by two different angels:
- one angel fell from heaven (connotes an "unwillingness" to leave) and unlocks the pit
- one angel descends from heaven (connotes a "willingness" to leave) and seals the pit
And interestingly we know that satan is described as an angel "falling from heaven" having great wrath. When Christ's disciples returned celebrating that they commanded demons in his name, Christ said he saw satan fall like lightning, yet no one saw that but him.
So isn't it possible that satan could be this fallen angel, full of wisdom, who has the "key" to (i.e. "knowledge" of) opening the abyss and freeing his comrades; knowledge that he whispers to man? All the world is currently his anyway, not because we've seen him going around conquering but because he controls it spiritually through fallen man.
And so likewise the closing of the abyss could simply be the destruction of the machine and deaths of all those who would listen to satan. If there's no one alive willing to listen to satan anymore, until they resurrect in the 2nd resurrection (after 1000 years), then he's effectively bound in great chains unable to deceive anyone.
See what I mean?
