GIZA MYSTERIES CONTINUE
Researchers have found some rather strange thermal anomalies at
several ancient structures, including an especially 'impressive' one at
the Great Pyramid of Giza. Having been built more than 4 000 years
ago, modern scientists have been studying them for the last 200
years, but as a new research project illustrates, these iconic tombs
are still teeming with mysteries. Launched on October 25, the Scan
Pyramids project focuses on the pyramids of Khufu and Khafre,
as well as the Bent and the Red pyramids. It combines several
non-invasive and non-destructive scanning techniques 'to detect the
presence of any unknown internal structures and cavities in ancient
monuments', according to a press release issued by Egypt's Minister
of Antiquities and the Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute,
Mamdouh Eldamaty. He said that at the end of the first scan, the
teams have concluded the existence of several thermal anomalies
that were observed on all monuments and that no one is sure yet
what the anomalies mean, but they may hint at gaps or fissures in the
walls, or possibly hidden passageways or chambers.

MULTIPLE REALITIES?
Dr Ranga-Ram Chary, a scientist at the California Institute of
Technology, believes he may have found evidence that parallel
universes have been bumping up against ours, like bubbles
floating in a foam, and that these bumps have caused 'bruises'
that can be observed. Chary looked for signs of these cosmic
bumps in the Planck map of the cosmic microwave background
(CMB), a map of the radiation leftover from the first few moments
of our forming universe. It's a map that would look the same no
matter where you're viewing it from in the universe; a blueprint,
if you will, of the structure of the cosmos. What Chary found was
extraordinary: mysterious glowing regions that are consistent
with the idea of a bump from a parallel world, a place where
matter from another universe may even have briefly leaked into
ours. For info click here.
