1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,760
You know, I've been around for a while.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,640
Met some interesting people.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,000
Done some crazy things.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,800
See, you just might think that there's not much

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,640
that can take you by surprise.

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,040
You'd be wrong.

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,200
The world is full of stories, science, and things

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,200
that are made for you.

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,800
Science and things that amaze and confound me.

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,800
Every single day, incredible mysteries

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,000
that keep me awake at night.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,200
Some I can answer.

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,200
Oh, there's just...

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,200
Stifylogics.

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,200
Do parallel worlds exist?

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,200
In New York, a woman has a frightening encounter

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,200
with a mysterious shadow shaped like a human.

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,200
Was it an entity from another dimension?

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,200
There was something very sinister about it.

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,200
In New Jersey, a boy becomes entangled in a strange machine.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,200
On the count of three, we jump through the field of energy.

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,200
And ends up in another world.

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,200
Does teleportation exist?

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,200
And in Mexico, an explorer uncovers a bizarre skull

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
made of crystal.

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,200
Is it a doorway to another universe?

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Yeah.

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,200
It's a weird world, and I love it.

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Bubbles! Beautiful, aren't they?

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,200
Well, guess what scientists believe that we're living in one?

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,200
They say that our entire universe is a giant,

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200
perhaps infinite-sized one of these.

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,200
But if that's hard to comprehend, there's something else.

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,200
In 2010, scientists found something extraordinary.

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Evidence that our bubble, our universe,

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,200
has been bruised not once, but four times.

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Why? Because it's smashed into other bubbles!

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200
And do you know what those other bubbles are?

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,200
Other universes.

40
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,200
There could be millions of them.

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Parallel worlds.

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
And there are dimensions that exist alongside ours.

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Amazing, isn't it?

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Let's think about this.

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,200
If it's true, that means there could be people or something like us

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,200
floating around inside them.

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,200
Isn't that a little scary?

48
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,200
Could we, in the distant future,

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,200
bump into something or someone from a neighboring dimension?

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Well, I've got news for you.

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200
It's happening right now.

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,200
Bubbles!

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,200
Rosemary Gilley is an author.

54
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,200
In October 2010, she decided to go hiking

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,200
in the Thonstock State Park in New York.

56
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,200
So I trekked out by myself, which is not always a good idea.

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200
And there was no one around.

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
There was no one on the trail.

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
And I went out to what we call the King's Chamber.

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,200
The King's Chamber is one of several mysterious

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200
man-made structures in the area.

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,200
Nobody really knows who built them or why.

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,200
And many people who visit them have paranormal experiences.

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,200
Some think Native Americans made them.

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Others believe it was European settlers,

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200
or even ancient druids.

67
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,200
No one knows for sure,

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
but as Rosemary enters the ruins,

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,200
she begins to sense something strange.

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,200
I could sense an unusual presence there.

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,200
You have a feeling that there may be something unseen watching you,

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200
or that something unusual is about to happen.

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,200
Despite her misgivings, Rosemary presses on.

74
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,200
It's not long before she's sorry she did.

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,200
I became aware of a dark shade moving through the trees in front of me.

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
There was something very sinister about it.

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,200
This figure was tall and slim,

78
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,200
and it looked like the outline of a human being.

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,200
It was very dark in color, inky dark.

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200
And it had very blurry edges,

81
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,200
and the lower portion of it sort of trailed away.

82
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200
There's no facial features, no eyes,

83
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200
but yet you know what's looking at you.

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,200
You can just feel it.

85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,200
And that is a very scary thing.

86
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Was Rosemary's mind playing tricks,

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:52,200
or was someone or something stalking her through the king's chamber?

88
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,200
This was not an apparition.

89
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,200
You simply know when you are encountering something

90
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200
that's not quite of this world.

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,200
So what was it?

92
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Rosemary didn't wait around five hours.

93
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,200
It was like one of those movies

94
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,200
where bad things are happening to people,

95
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,200
and a voice says,

96
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Get out! It's time to go.

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200
What did Rosemary Gillies see?

98
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Was she in real danger from a shadow,

99
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,200
or was it something even more sinister?

100
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,200
Incredibly, her experience is not unique.

101
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,200
Hundreds have reported encounters

102
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,200
with dark, humanoid, transparent creatures.

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,200
They call them shadow people.

104
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,200
But what are they?

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Rosemary has come to an incredible conclusion.

106
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Shadow people come from other dimensions,

107
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,200
parallel dimensions that are right here on this planet.

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,200
They're just around a certain bend in space

109
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,200
where we can't normally see them

110
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,200
except under the right circumstances.

111
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,200
Are shadow people intruders from a parallel dimension?

112
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,200
If so, how do they cross into our world?

113
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200
And what do they want?

114
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,200
Chris French is a psychologist.

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200
He believes there is a simple explanation.

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200
These shadow people are just shadows.

117
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,200
The way that these shadow people are said to move

118
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200
is kind of a very fitting motion.

119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,200
One moment they're there, the next moment they're somewhere else.

120
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,200
But, really, it sounds very much like the way that shadows move.

121
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Are shadow people simply random shadows?

122
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,200
If so, what gives them such distinct human shapes?

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,200
French believes the answer lies in a phenomenon called pareidolia.

124
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Pareidolia refers specifically to this idea

125
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,200
that we can sometimes think we see clear and distinct human forms

126
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200
in what is essentially just a random background noise.

127
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
I think everybody's probably had the experience of looking at patterns on wallpaper

128
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,200
and making out faces in those patterns,

129
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,200
or we look up in the clouds and we see animal shapes.

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,200
People have found images of Christ in plates of spaghetti,

131
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,200
in cinnamon buns, in the burn marks on tortillas.

132
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,200
What you've got are really kind of more or less random patterns,

133
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,200
but we will impose some kind of meaning on them.

134
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200
People tend to experience shadow people

135
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200
in certain kinds of locations.

136
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
If you're in a forest, if you're in a cave,

137
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200
if you're in somewhere where there's lots of shadows,

138
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,200
then those are precisely the kind of random background visual noise situations

139
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,200
where you might actually think you can see things that aren't there.

140
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,200
And there's probably also the fact that in certain kinds of environments

141
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,200
there are reasons why we might actually feel on edge.

142
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,200
So, for example, if you went into a cave

143
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,200
and there's a very, very high ceiling in the cave,

144
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200
then, again, that will tend to make us feel slightly on edge

145
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,200
because we don't know what's up there, what might be about to jump on us.

146
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,200
And if you think of this from the evolutionary perspective,

147
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,200
it makes sense that in certain locations

148
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,200
we are more kind of alert, more on guard,

149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,200
more aware of possible threats in the environment than in other places.

150
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,200
But many who have encountered shadow people feel physically threatened.

151
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Why?

152
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,200
I think one of the reasons that people often perceive these things

153
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200
as being something potentially threatening

154
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,200
is because that's the way we've evolved.

155
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,200
In terms of our evolutionary history,

156
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,200
then it makes sense that we have cognitive systems

157
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,200
that are very much tuned to picking up on possible threats in the environment.

158
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,200
And so, very often, if we think we can see some kind of form,

159
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,200
if we think there's something out there that might do us harm,

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,200
then it's better to err on the side of perceiving it that way as a potential threat

161
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200
and getting out of any possible danger

162
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,200
rather than to take any risks.

163
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,200
Are our survival instincts tricking us into believing a shadow

164
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,200
is a terrifying, real creature?

165
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,200
It's an extremely common phenomenon for perfectly sane people

166
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,200
to sometimes see things that aren't actually there.

167
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,200
There are parts of the brain that are hard-wired to recognize faces and human forms.

168
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,200
And so, sometimes those parts of the brain will actually fire

169
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,200
when what we're looking at are really just shadows.

170
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,200
Are shadow people simply shadows?

171
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
Rosemary Gilley isn't convinced.

172
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,200
It was not a trick of my imagination.

173
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,200
It was unmistakable, black-shaped moving through the trees.

174
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200
You know, it's amazing how real shadows can appear.

175
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,200
But could something like this be a terrifying shadow creature

176
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,200
from another dimension that's come to pay us a visit?

177
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,200
Did you do that, Fluffy?

178
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,200
So who exactly are shadow people?

179
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,200
Where do they come from?

180
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,200
One man believes he has the answer.

181
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,200
They belong to a race of beings that if it predates human beings,

182
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200
exist in a dimension very close to ours.

183
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,200
A woman has a terrifying encounter with a human-like shadow.

184
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Was it a trick of her mind or a visitor from a parallel world?

185
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,200
Philip Mbrogno is a paranormal researcher.

186
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,200
He thinks the answer is clear.

187
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,200
From the cases that I've studied about shadow people,

188
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,200
I believe they are interdimensional in nature.

189
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,200
They are intelligent.

190
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,200
They belong to a race of beings that if it predates human beings,

191
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,200
they exist in a dimension very close to ours.

192
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,200
It's an incredible theory, but it begs one big question.

193
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,200
How can we know these other dimensions exist?

194
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,200
Mbrogno believes they answer lies with the force of gravity

195
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,200
and its component part, the graviton.

196
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,200
The particle that is responsible for gravity

197
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,200
has been labeled the graviton.

198
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,200
Gravitons flow through the dimensions just like a wave.

199
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,200
These particles have a pole, like a magnetic pole.

200
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,200
The gravity coming from our sun,

201
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,200
reaching the earth, should theoretically tear the earth apart.

202
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,200
But it doesn't.

203
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,200
If all of these gravitons, being emitted from the sun,

204
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,200
were filtered through multi-dimensions,

205
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,200
before they reach us,

206
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,200
it could give us an indication that these other extra dimensions

207
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
do in fact exist.

208
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,200
If that sounds like gobbledygook, here's the simple version.

209
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Mbrogno thinks gravity is being weakened

210
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,200
as it travels from the sun to earth,

211
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,200
because it's being diffused as it passes through,

212
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,200
you guessed it, other dimensions that are home to shadow people.

213
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,200
It's an extraordinary, somewhat crazy idea,

214
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,200
but if there are other dimensions surrounding ours,

215
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,200
how are shadow people traveling between them and to us?

216
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Shadow people may understand the concept of the gravitons

217
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,200
more than we do.

218
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,200
Their technology has been around thousands and thousands of years

219
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,200
before human beings, so they may understand

220
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,200
that they may have to focus gravitons at a particular area

221
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:44,200
to open up a portal to lead into our reality.

222
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,200
According to Mbrogno,

223
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,200
he will soon have hard scientific evidence to support his theory.

224
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,200
When these dimensions are opened up,

225
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,200
we should see an influx of gravitons.

226
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,200
This interaction can be measured,

227
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,200
so the exciting research that I'm involved in right now

228
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,200
is building devices that would be able to detect

229
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:21,200
large amounts of gravitons to predict when shadow people would appear.

230
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,200
Are shadow people using gravity to open portals to our dimension?

231
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,200
And if so, what do they want?

232
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,200
Their purpose, their agenda may vary depending upon

233
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,200
the group of shadow people.

234
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,200
I don't think they have one agenda.

235
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,200
I don't think they work together as a team.

236
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,200
I think they work together more or less in clans or groups.

237
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,200
Some of them have certain agendas.

238
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,200
Some of them may have different agendas.

239
00:13:54,200 --> 00:14:01,200
It seems to me that the main objective of the shadow person visit

240
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,200
is to learn about us as much as they can by observing us.

241
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,200
Some people would find that very unsettling.

242
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Usually, the prelude to an invasion

243
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,200
is going and getting intelligence before you make your move.

244
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Some people believe this is what's being done.

245
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,200
Did Rosemary Gilley encounter a curious shadow person?

246
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,200
Are we facing an invasion of beings from a neighboring dimension?

247
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,200
Should we be afraid?

248
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Very afraid.

249
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,200
Or are they nothing but a trick of light?

250
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Weird.

251
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Or what?

252
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,200
You know, I used to get into a lot of sticky situations during our voyage

253
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,200
on the Starship Enterprise.

254
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,200
But I was always able to get out of them like this.

255
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,200
See, when I just did there and I didn't even have scotty to beat me up.

256
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:24,200
But can we somehow transport ourselves from one location to another in an instant?

257
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,200
Things like that are science fiction.

258
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Right?

259
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,200
1960, suburban New Jersey.

260
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Six-year-old Andrew Bashiaka was about to have the most incredible day of his life.

261
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,200
My dad called out to my mother and said,

262
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,200
Han, I'm taking Andy to the hardware store.

263
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Instead, he drove me up to the old Aeronautical Company facility in Woodridge, New Jersey.

264
00:15:53,200 --> 00:16:00,200
A large, defense technical, experimental area that dated back to World War II.

265
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,200
As they entered the facility, Andrew wonders why his father Frank would bring him to a place like this.

266
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,200
I didn't know what was happening.

267
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Andrew's dad leads him to a secret room.

268
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,200
Inside is something unlike anything he's ever seen before.

269
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,200
It was so strange, it essentially consisted of two elliptical shaped booms

270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,200
that were about eight feet tall and about ten feet across.

271
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,200
It's a machine that's beyond Andrew's comprehension.

272
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,200
Whatever it is, his father is clearly in charge.

273
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,200
But why?

274
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,200
And what is it for?

275
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,200
I had the technician turn the device on.

276
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:51,200
As Andrew watches, the booms begin to spin, generating a strange cascade of energy.

277
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200
It looked almost like water falling in a public fountain.

278
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200
It was a very beautiful, sort of shimmering field of energy.

279
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:05,200
As the energy field from the machine grows, Andrew's dad does something incredible.

280
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:13,200
It tells us on to take his hand, then the unimaginable happens.

281
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,200
We counted down one, two, three.

282
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,200
On a count of three, we jumped through the field of energy.

283
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,200
We seemed to be moving and I could ultimately see a point of light in the distance.

284
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,200
And that light reached us very quickly and accelerated.

285
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,200
And when the light hit us, we were elsewhere in the country.

286
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,200
Now, my father didn't tell me where we were going.

287
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,200
In fact, we were jumping 2,005 miles through this vortical tunnel in the fabric of time space

288
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,200
to the state capital grounds in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

289
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,200
It's an astonishing claim.

290
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:50,200
Did two humans actually transport from New Jersey to New Mexico in the blink of an eye?

291
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,200
What happened to Andrew and his father?

292
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,200
Is his story just the wild fantasy of a six-year-old?

293
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,200
Bashiako believes there is only one answer.

294
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,200
I think I must have teleported.

295
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,200
Imagine traveling through the Lincoln tunnel in New York City at 10,000 miles per hour without any automobile arrangement.

296
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,200
That's sort of what it was like.

297
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,200
We were physically moving through a vortal tunnel in the fabric of time space.

298
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,200
Had Andrew's father, Frank, invented the world's first teleportation machine?

299
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,200
And if so, why?

300
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,200
Frank Bashiako was no ordinary dad.

301
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,200
During the Cold War, the U.S. and Soviets raced for military superiority.

302
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:42,200
Frank was head of a top-secret American research team who were conducting experiments into teleportation.

303
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,200
But why did Frank use his son as a guinea pig?

304
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:57,200
I think my dad's immediate goal in inviting me to teleport was to show that if teleportation was safe for his son, it was safe for anybody's child.

305
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:06,200
And I was in it as a child, just as, for example, a child may have been aboard one of Columbus' boats, or may have been an office boy to the Wright brothers, or an assistant to Thomas Alda Edison.

306
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:14,200
After the success of his experiment, Frank Bashiako decides teleportation is too important to keep in mind.

307
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,200
He wants to tell a world, but the U.S. military disagrees.

308
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:26,200
And so the unfortunate history of U.S. teleportation is that it has remained essentially a military secret ever since.

309
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,200
Today, I am leading the Truth Campaign.

310
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,200
I am urging the United States government to declassify teleportation to allow people to teleport between major world cities.

311
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:43,200
The way I see it, I think it's important to be able to tell the world that it's safe for the United States to teleport.

312
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,200
The way I see it, I have a duty simply to stand in my truth and tell it.

313
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:56,200
Did Frank Bashiako invent a machine that could instantly transport us across the world, or even to other dimensions?

314
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Is teleportation possible?

315
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:07,200
I wouldn't like to be the first one to be teleported. I would worry to end up maybe like a Picasso painting.

316
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:15,200
A boy enters a teleportation machine and is suddenly transported thousands of miles and seconds.

317
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,200
Is human teleportation possible?

318
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Raymond Laughlin is a physicist. He thinks the idea we can teleport our bodies is simply fantasy.

319
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:34,200
It seems that a lot of physics are more constrained than the imagination of human beings.

320
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,200
The first idea that we have when we think about teleportation is the Star Trek idea.

321
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:46,200
Being up Scotty, the idea of taking a person suddenly disintegrated in some form and reappearing up in a space station.

322
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Now, this is something that happens in science fiction.

323
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:59,200
But incredibly, although Laughlin dismisses the idea that people can teleport, he does believe it can happen in other ways,

324
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,200
because he was one of the first scientists to do it.

325
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,200
We're not teleporting matter from one location to the other. We're really teleporting information.

326
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,200
Wait a second.

327
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,200
Teleporting information? How is that any different than sending an email?

328
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:25,200
When we send an email, or even when we talk on our cell phone, the information goes from the sender to the intervening space to a receiver.

329
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:33,200
Remarkably, Laughlin has been able to teleport information without it traveling through any device at all.

330
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:43,200
What has been teleported is one quantum bit of information, or Q-bit, is sent from one location to the other.

331
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:50,200
It has happened in nuclear magnetic resonance, where the information has gone from one atom of a molecule to another one.

332
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:57,200
But it has also appeared in optics, where people have put information, or quantum information, in a particle of light called photons,

333
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,200
send it to another location a few kilometers away, and then made it reappear over there.

334
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:09,200
We've been able to teleport a few kilometers, taking one particle of information and make it reappear a few kilometers down the line.

335
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,200
We've been able to do this.

336
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,200
It works like this. In the world of quantum physics, even the tiniest particles are somehow connected,

337
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:28,200
even across huge distances. In quantum teleportation, such entangled particles can literally be in two places at once.

338
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:37,200
Absolutely amazing that we can teleport. In quantum teleportation, it seems to disappear here, and reappear there.

339
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,200
It looks like a piece of magic, a piece which we're not used to.

340
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:51,200
Once we have technology based on quantum entanglement, on quantum teleportation, maybe we'll think it's very familiar and banal,

341
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,200
but today for us, it looks something very unusual.

342
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:03,200
This technology could soon be used to instantly communicate with space ships, no matter how far away.

343
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,200
Or send military communications that are impossible to intercept.

344
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:14,200
We're just at the beginning of understanding what is quantum teleportation, how it works.

345
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:24,200
We may be able to teleport information, but does Andrew Bashiaka's story mean we can do it to ourselves?

346
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,200
Laughlam thinks not.

347
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:34,200
He must have a secret that I do not have to be able to do this, but I wouldn't like to be the first one to be teleported.

348
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,200
I would worry to end up maybe like a Picasso painting.

349
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:46,200
If human teleportation isn't possible, what happened to Andrew Bashiaka?

350
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Was his incredible journey just a figment of childhood imagination?

351
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,200
Bruce Goldberg is a hymctor therapist.

352
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,200
He thinks stories like Andrews are very real.

353
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,200
We have ancient literature going back thousands of years to people who've teleported.

354
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,200
There are a lot of religious cases, but there are also secular cases too.

355
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,200
I think teleportation exists, but how?

356
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200
Goldberg believes he's discovered the secret.

357
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,200
I first discovered teleportation while working with patients.

358
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,200
People were described as disappearing from one location.

359
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,200
One gentleman went from New York City to Paris.

360
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,200
He disappeared.

361
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,200
His wife was sitting in the same room and said, my husband disappeared.

362
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,200
I don't know where he went, and I was right there.

363
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,200
At first, Goldberg doubted his patients.

364
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,200
I started doing research about the teleportation cases.

365
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,200
These are psychologically stable people.

366
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,200
I know them, I know the families, and they weren't on drugs.

367
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,200
But as he continued his research,

368
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,200
Goldberg's patients began to describe their teleportation experiences in remarkable detail.

369
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,200
And they all had one thing in common.

370
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,200
You see first just a little bit like tunnel vision,

371
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,200
and then all of a sudden you appear whole.

372
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200
The people look exactly like we do.

373
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,200
Some of the people that I meet are recognizable.

374
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,200
I know who they are.

375
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Incredibly, the people they encountered were replicas of themselves.

376
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,200
The hauntingly similar experiences led Goldberg to a stunning insight.

377
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:29,200
When you teleport, you leave this universe and move into a parallel universe.

378
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Parallel universes are sister universes that exist alongside ours.

379
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,200
Your DNA is exactly the same in your parallel life as it is here.

380
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,200
Are Goldberg's patients somehow being sucked into parallel dimensions

381
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,200
and then meeting their own doppelgangers?

382
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,200
Now this is getting really crazy.

383
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,200
Is there more than one Bill, is there more than one you?

384
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,200
Sounds nice, right?

385
00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,200
Incredibly, physicists believe that these identical copies of ourselves might exist.

386
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Now I don't really understand how this is possible,

387
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,200
but if the eggheads say the math works, who am I to argue?

388
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Do identical copies of each and every one of us exist in parallel worlds?

389
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,200
Could we even enter those alternate realities?

390
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Bruce Goldberg believes the possibilities are staggering.

391
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,200
Let's say you have certain aspects of your life right now that you cannot change.

392
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,200
Maybe you have an incurable disease, maybe you have a criminal record,

393
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,200
maybe you've lost an arm.

394
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,200
Well, in a parallel universe, that didn't exist.

395
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,200
So instead of committing suicide or just going through life being depressed,

396
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,200
you can actually switch universes and in fact have a much better life.

397
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,200
Do we all exist in other dimensions?

398
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:56,200
Do we possess machines that can teleport us from one world to another?

399
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,200
Could Scotty really beam us up after all?

400
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,200
Weird or what?

401
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,200
What?

402
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:23,200
In Mexico, an explorer finds a strange skull made of pure crystal.

403
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,200
Is it a gateway to another world?

404
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,200
Crystal skulls are holographic.

405
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,200
You know, I love exploring.

406
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:40,200
Nothing better than getting out and seeing what you can find amongst the wilds of nature.

407
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,200
Oh, oh, you hear that? You hear that?

408
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,200
Sometimes you can find treasures beyond the imagination.

409
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,200
But sometimes you find things you want to keep very secret.

410
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,200
In 1924, British adventurer Frederick Mitchell Hedges

411
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:05,200
went in search of Mayan treasures in the tiny country of Belize in Central America.

412
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:12,200
What he discovered is regarded by some as the most important archaeological relic ever found.

413
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:19,200
A perfectly formed human skull made from crystal.

414
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:25,200
Carved with flawless precision, this 2,000-year-old artifact baffled scientists.

415
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,200
Many believe the technology that created it couldn't have existed in ancient or even modern times.

416
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,200
So what was it? And where did it come from?

417
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:47,200
In 1994, amateur archaeologist Nick Rosarino found another perfect, life-size skull

418
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,200
impeccably carved in clear crystal in Guerrero, Mexico.

419
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Kirby Seed is a crystal and mineral expert.

420
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,200
In 1995, the Guerrero skull came into his care.

421
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:12,200
As he began to study it, something weird happened.

422
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,200
It began to turn pictures of past lives.

423
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,200
It showed me images of possible futures that I could try to achieve for.

424
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,200
Those pictures turned into visions. Those visions, I see people moving.

425
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,200
I see objects moving. There's motion in those visions.

426
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,200
And suddenly I feel like I've popped into that particular reality.

427
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,200
I feel like I'm merging my energy with its energy.

428
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,200
But Kirby believes this skull has many other powers.

429
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,200
The greatest of all is the ability to open doors to another world.

430
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,200
Crystal skulls are holographic. They contain all the points of time and space.

431
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,200
We know in modern physics theory and string theory that there are at least 11 dimensions.

432
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Skulls are mortals to other dimensions in parallel worlds.

433
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:05,200
Do crystal skulls possess strange powers that can take us to other dimensions?

434
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Or is there another answer to this mystery?

435
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Well, to my mind, there is not really a mystery surrounding them.

436
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:19,200
A man believes an ancient crystal skull can communicate with parallel worlds.

437
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:25,200
Do these strange, mysterious objects have powers beyond our comprehension?

438
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,200
Well, to my mind, there is not really a mystery surrounding them.

439
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,200
Jane Walsh is an anthropologist at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.

440
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,200
He believes crystal skulls aren't quite as magical as they seem.

441
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:45,200
I've essentially concluded that none of the skulls I have looked at

442
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,200
have really anything to do with pre-Columbian Mexico.

443
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Mostly they were marketed to deceive.

444
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,200
Jane has examined nine crystal skulls, including the one discovered by Mitchell Hedges.

445
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,200
Due to the nature of the crystal, it's not possible to determine when the skulls were made.

446
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,200
But Jane believes there's another way to unearth the skull's secrets.

447
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Using liquid silicone, she can find out how they were made.

448
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:26,200
The silicone sort of flows in nicely to all of the crevices.

449
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,200
Make sure it's going into all of the carved areas.

450
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:40,200
Once the silicone is dry, Jane has a highly accurate mode of the markings on the skull's surface.

451
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:46,200
Using an electron microscope, these can be magnified over 10 million times.

452
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,200
As those electrons strike the surface of the sample, we're going to generate a signal

453
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,200
that will get a topographical image of the surface of the sample.

454
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,200
And we get great spatial resolution. We see very good detail.

455
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,200
We can see a lot of things that we wouldn't be able to see otherwise.

456
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,200
One thing in particular was remarkable.

457
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:08,200
Evidence that the perfect crystal skulls weren't quite as perfect as they seemed.

458
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:14,200
What you're seeing there is the edge of a rotary disc cutting tool.

459
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,200
If you imagine some guy sitting here doing this, trying to drill this little hole,

460
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,200
you're not going to have this little path that cuts.

461
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,200
You can follow it all the way around.

462
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Jane's analysis is damning.

463
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:35,200
She believes whoever made the skulls had access to modern power tools.

464
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,200
We know the sorts of tools that were used by pre-Columbian lapidaries,

465
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:46,200
which was essentially a stone age toolkit.

466
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:53,200
They probably used copper with abrasive sand, perhaps in drilling and cutting,

467
00:32:53,200 --> 00:33:00,200
but essentially they used stone to carve stone.

468
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:13,200
So looking at some of the skulls, it's very apparent that hard metal with permanently adhered diamond abrasives

469
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,200
were used to cut them.

470
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,200
So with the Mitchell-Hedges skull, we were able to find some of the initial carving

471
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:26,200
that was done by very tiny, high-speed dentist-type drills.

472
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:34,200
That's simply not a tool that any Mayan or Aztec would have had.

473
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:42,200
So if the skulls are not ancient Mayan or Aztec, when were they carved?

474
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,200
They probably are about as old as when they first appeared.

475
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,200
It certainly drew of this skull.

476
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:57,200
We know it was purchased in 1960 in Mexico and it was polished and carved with an abrasive

477
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,200
that wasn't available until after World War II.

478
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:06,200
So probably it was made in the 1950s.

479
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:13,200
The British Museum skull was probably made not too long before it first appeared on the art market,

480
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,200
which was the early 1880s.

481
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:22,200
All of them were created by using quite modern tools.

482
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:29,200
Is the legend of 13 all-powerful crystal skulls nothing more than fanciful bunkum?

483
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,200
Or do they have powers beyond comprehension?

484
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,200
Could curvy seed be right?

485
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,200
Are they gateways to other dimensions?

486
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,200
Joshua Shapiro is an explorer.

487
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,200
He not only believes crystal skulls can connect us to other worlds,

488
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,200
but they were given to us by beings who live in them.

489
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:58,200
What I believe is the connection between the crystal skulls and, let's say, other intelligences

490
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:04,200
which may come from parallel worlds or other dimensions.

491
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:13,200
These beings, I believe, brought the crystal skulls in physical form to humanity a very long time ago.

492
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:19,200
They brought them as tools to help us to grow and to understand who we really are,

493
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,200
which I believe is divine souls.

494
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,200
I believe all of us are divine beings.

495
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,200
But when we incarnate as a human being, we forget the essence of who we are.

496
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,200
So these parallel worlds are trying to help us to remember this

497
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,200
and what they will do occasionally at different points in history.

498
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,200
And again, this is my theory and I think there are other people involved in the crystal skulls who believe this,

499
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,200
is that they bring tools that act as a catalyst to awaken us.

500
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:55,200
Did crystal skulls arrive from parallel worlds in ancient times?

501
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:02,200
And if so, how do these other dimensional beings use them as doorways to connect with humans?

502
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,200
Shapiro thinks it all comes down to what they're made of.

503
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,200
The crystal skulls act as portals or dimensional doors

504
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:18,200
because quartz crystal has the ability to exist in many different dimensions simultaneously.

505
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,200
It's the property of the material itself.

506
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,200
It just lends itself to working with energy on different vibrational frequencies.

507
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,200
So that's why it's a perfect conduit.

508
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Quartz crystal vibrating frequencies across multiple dimensions.

509
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,200
Crazy talk, right?

510
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:46,200
Well, in fact, crystals have been used in communication devices like radios for nearly a century.

511
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:52,200
They can be tuned to vibrate at specific frequencies, which allows them to tune in broadcasts.

512
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:58,200
So maybe a crystal skull could be an interdimensional telephone after all.

513
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,200
Quartz crystal is one of the most important materials on the planet,

514
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:09,200
but to put it into the shape of a human bone skull, those two combined make them very special.

515
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,200
If I could define in one sentence what the crystal skulls are,

516
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,200
they are a mirror and a catalyst to awaken humanity.

517
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:23,200
If we as individuals would just be open to all the amazing phenomena that's going on in our world

518
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:30,200
instead of trying to rationalize it, I think that our planet would be at peace much quicker

519
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,200
and we would learn a lot more about ourselves,

520
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,200
and we would have additional assistance coming that we could not even imagine.

521
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:45,200
Do crystal skulls have the ability to create electrical signals that allow us to interact with other dimensions?

522
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,200
Or are they simply harmless hunks of polished rock?

523
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:56,200
Is there any scientific evidence that gateways to other worlds even exist at all?

524
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,200
What an incredible story.

525
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,200
Can this skull generate vibrations that allow us to speak to people in parallel worlds?

526
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:12,200
Can you imagine what we could achieve if we could harness the power within this magnificent priceless object?

527
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,200
Can we get another one?

528
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:29,200
A mysterious crystal skull discovered in Mexico is believed to be a doorway to another dimension.

529
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,200
Could this be possible?

530
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:38,200
Dr. Paul Stevenson studies extreme physics at the University of Surrey.

531
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:44,200
He thinks the idea of a portal to a distant world is quite plausible.

532
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:51,200
One possible way we could at least theoretically think about opening a door to another world or a portal to somewhere else

533
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,200
comes from black holes.

534
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Astronomers once believed that everything in a black hole was crushed into a single point of infinite mass

535
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,200
called a singularity.

536
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,200
But recently, some have proposed another idea.

537
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,200
It's conceivable that you'd make some kind of portal from one part of the universe to another

538
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,200
that you could actually travel through, and that would be called a wormhole.

539
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,200
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, heavy objects all tend to warp space.

540
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,200
And you can kind of think of that as if space was some kind of stretched rubber sheet

541
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,200
and you put a very heavy thing on it, it's going to make a depression in the sheet.

542
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,200
And that's something like how sun would make a depression in this rubber sheet

543
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,200
and you imagine sort of rolling a ball along, it will sort of have to bend around the sun

544
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,200
because of the way the sheet's been depressed.

545
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,200
And that's kind of what happens when a comet sort of slingshots around the sun.

546
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:42,200
Now in the case of a black hole, I have a kind of model here to show the sort of depression you might get in space

547
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:47,200
with something like a black hole or a star would be in this depression here.

548
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,200
The special thing about a black hole is that this depression goes on and on forever.

549
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,200
And if something gets caught in it, it'll just go down and be lost.

550
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:02,200
Now what happens with a wormhole is you would end up having two black holes connected together, something like that.

551
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,200
So you can sort of imagine that if you fell in one end of the black hole, you could come out the other end.

552
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,200
And so theoretically this thing could exist.

553
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,200
We haven't ever seen one, but there's no reason based on our understanding of physics why something like this couldn't happen.

554
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:24,200
And if we can create a sort of tunnel to other parts of our universe, what does that mean for parallel dimensions?

555
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:30,200
Now it may not be a big leap to suggest that we could create a wormhole that connects us to different dimensions or a different universe.

556
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:35,200
According to Paul, in theory it's possible to create a pathway to other worlds.

557
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:41,200
It's nothing anyone's ever seen before. So how does he know it could happen?

558
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,200
But they're actually based on solid physics and solid science.

559
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:51,200
And we've certainly come across lots of things in the past that at first sight seem to be utterly ridiculous and completely fantastical

560
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,200
and have turned out to be true. I don't know whether that's going to turn out to be the case for wormholes, whether we'll ever see one.

561
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,200
But it's certainly not beyond the bounds of reason.

562
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,200
Could we open cosmic gateways into parallel worlds?

563
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,200
And communicate with them with crystal skulls?

564
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,200
Or can we simply teleport our bodies there whenever we wish?

565
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Are shadow people from other dimensions already amongst us?

566
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,200
Weird.

567
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,200
What?

568
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,080
The

569
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,200
So there we have it.

570
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Stories of parallel worlds from all over the planet.

571
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,200
In New York, a woman has a terrifying encounter with a human-shaped shadow.

572
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,200
Did it come from another dimension?

573
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:10,200
In New Jersey, a weird machine transports a boy and his father hundreds of miles in a split second.

574
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,200
Did they teleport to a different world?

575
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,200
And in Mexico, a team makes an amazing discovery.

576
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,200
A skull made of crystal.

577
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,200
Is it a doorway to a parallel universe?

578
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:36,200
Join me again next time for more stories that will undoubtedly be weird or what.
