Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,752
- You know, I've been around for a while.
2
00:00:10,752 --> 00:00:13,004
Met some interesting people.
3
00:00:13,004 --> 00:00:15,227
Done some crazy things.
4
00:00:15,227 --> 00:00:17,410
So you just might think that there's
5
00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:20,523
not much that can take me by surprise.
6
00:00:21,814 --> 00:00:23,466
You'd be wrong.
7
00:00:28,403 --> 00:00:30,805
The world is full of stories.
8
00:00:30,805 --> 00:00:32,987
Science and things that amaze
9
00:00:32,987 --> 00:00:35,630
and confound me every single day,
10
00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:37,832
incredible mysteries that
keep me awake at night.
11
00:00:37,832 --> 00:00:40,004
Some I can answer.
12
00:00:40,004 --> 00:00:43,770
Others just defy logic.
13
00:00:45,142 --> 00:00:47,664
- [Voiceover] Do parallel worlds exist?
14
00:00:48,646 --> 00:00:50,900
In New York a woman has
a frightening encounter
15
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,744
with a mysterious shadow
shaped like a human.
16
00:00:54,744 --> 00:00:57,367
Was it an entity from another dimension?
17
00:00:57,367 --> 00:00:59,679
- There was something
very sinister about it.
18
00:01:00,601 --> 00:01:02,295
- [Voiceover] In New Jersey a boy
19
00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:04,937
becomes entangled in a strange machine.
20
00:01:04,937 --> 00:01:08,662
- On the count of three we jump
through the field of energy.
21
00:01:08,662 --> 00:01:11,197
- [Voiceover] And ends
up in another world.
22
00:01:11,197 --> 00:01:13,679
Does teleportation exist?
23
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:17,715
And in Mexico an explorer uncovers
24
00:01:17,715 --> 00:01:21,089
a bizarre skull made of crystal.
25
00:01:21,089 --> 00:01:24,584
Is it a doorway to another universe?
26
00:01:25,526 --> 00:01:29,181
- Yeah, it's a weird world.
27
00:01:29,181 --> 00:01:31,214
And I love it.
28
00:01:33,986 --> 00:01:38,973
(dramatic music)
29
00:01:46,551 --> 00:01:48,213
Bubbles!
30
00:01:48,213 --> 00:01:50,287
Beautiful aren't they!? Well guess what?
31
00:01:50,287 --> 00:01:51,941
Scientists believe that
we're living in one.
32
00:01:51,941 --> 00:01:54,643
They say that our entire
universe is a giant,
33
00:01:54,643 --> 00:01:57,526
perhaps infinite sized, one of these.
34
00:01:59,107 --> 00:02:01,151
But if that's hard to comprehend
there's something else.
35
00:02:01,151 --> 00:02:05,175
In 2010 scientists found
something extraordinary.
36
00:02:05,175 --> 00:02:09,839
Evidence that our bubble, our universe,
37
00:02:09,839 --> 00:02:12,121
has been bruised, not
once, but four times.
38
00:02:12,121 --> 00:02:15,615
Why? 'Cause it smashed into other bubbles!
39
00:02:16,566 --> 00:02:19,481
And do you know what
those other bubbles are?
40
00:02:19,481 --> 00:02:21,484
Other universes.
41
00:02:21,484 --> 00:02:23,045
There could be millions of them.
42
00:02:23,045 --> 00:02:24,707
Parallel worlds,
43
00:02:24,707 --> 00:02:27,530
other dimensions that
exist alongside ours.
44
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:29,832
Amazing, isn't it?
45
00:02:29,832 --> 00:02:31,226
But let's think about this.
46
00:02:31,226 --> 00:02:33,168
If it's true that means
there could be people,
47
00:02:33,168 --> 00:02:35,550
or something like us,
floating around inside them.
48
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:37,352
Isn't that a little scary?
49
00:02:37,352 --> 00:02:39,694
Could we, in the distant future,
50
00:02:39,694 --> 00:02:42,197
bump into something, or someone,
51
00:02:42,197 --> 00:02:43,738
from a neighboring dimension?
52
00:02:43,738 --> 00:02:46,261
Well, I've got news for you,
53
00:02:46,261 --> 00:02:49,414
it's happening right now.
54
00:02:50,306 --> 00:02:52,048
Bubbles!
55
00:02:57,154 --> 00:03:00,209
- [Voiceover] Rosemary
Guiley is an author.
56
00:03:04,443 --> 00:03:08,198
In October 2010 she decided to go hiking
57
00:03:08,198 --> 00:03:11,421
in the Fahnestock State Park in New York.
58
00:03:11,421 --> 00:03:13,243
- So I trekked out by myself,
59
00:03:13,243 --> 00:03:15,396
which is not always a good idea,
60
00:03:15,396 --> 00:03:18,900
and there was no one around,
there was no one on the trail,
61
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,515
and I went out to what we
call the King's Chamber.
62
00:03:23,477 --> 00:03:25,320
- [Voiceover] The King's Chamber is one of
63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,093
several mysterious man-made
structures in the area.
64
00:03:30,064 --> 00:03:32,447
- Nobody really knows
who built them or why.
65
00:03:32,447 --> 00:03:36,951
And many people who visit them
have paranormal experiences.
66
00:03:38,723 --> 00:03:41,387
- [Voiceover] Some think
Native Americans made them.
67
00:03:41,387 --> 00:03:44,049
Others believe it was European settlers,
68
00:03:44,049 --> 00:03:46,492
or even ancient druids.
69
00:03:48,113 --> 00:03:52,850
No one knows for sure, but
as Rosemary enters the ruins
70
00:03:52,850 --> 00:03:56,755
she begins to sense something strange.
71
00:03:56,755 --> 00:03:59,778
- I could sense an unusual presence there.
72
00:03:59,778 --> 00:04:01,500
You have a feeling that there
73
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,443
may be something unseen watching you.
74
00:04:04,443 --> 00:04:08,026
Or that something unusual
is about to happen.
75
00:04:08,026 --> 00:04:11,412
- [Voiceover] Despite her
misgivings, Rosemary presses on.
76
00:04:12,683 --> 00:04:16,728
It's not long before she's sorry she did.
77
00:04:19,361 --> 00:04:21,984
- I became aware of a dark shape
78
00:04:21,984 --> 00:04:24,527
moving through the trees in front of me.
79
00:04:24,527 --> 00:04:27,159
There was something
very sinister about it.
80
00:04:29,602 --> 00:04:33,297
This figure was tall
and slim and it looked
81
00:04:33,297 --> 00:04:35,779
like the outline of a human being.
82
00:04:35,779 --> 00:04:39,553
It was very dark in color, a inky dark.
83
00:04:39,553 --> 00:04:42,486
And it had very blurry edges,
84
00:04:42,486 --> 00:04:46,710
and the lower portion of
it sort of trailed away.
85
00:04:47,611 --> 00:04:49,764
There's no facial features, no eyes,
86
00:04:49,764 --> 00:04:52,307
but yet you know it's looking at you.
87
00:04:52,307 --> 00:04:53,788
You can just feel it.
88
00:04:53,788 --> 00:04:56,652
And that is a very scary thing.
89
00:04:56,652 --> 00:04:59,386
- [Voiceover] Was Rosemary's
mind playing tricks?
90
00:04:59,386 --> 00:05:04,290
Or was someone or something stalking her
91
00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:06,793
through the King's Chamber?
92
00:05:06,793 --> 00:05:08,915
- This was not an apparition.
93
00:05:08,915 --> 00:05:11,728
You simply know when you are encountering
94
00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:14,821
something that's not quite of this world.
95
00:05:15,642 --> 00:05:17,585
- [Voiceover] So what was it?
96
00:05:18,245 --> 00:05:21,409
Rosemary didn't wait around to find out.
97
00:05:21,409 --> 00:05:24,111
- It was like one of those movies
98
00:05:24,111 --> 00:05:27,475
where bad things are happening to people
99
00:05:27,475 --> 00:05:31,989
and a voice says, "Get
out, it's time to go!"
100
00:05:32,811 --> 00:05:35,494
- [Voiceover] What did
Rosemary Guiley see?
101
00:05:35,494 --> 00:05:38,296
Was she in real danger from a shadow?
102
00:05:38,296 --> 00:05:41,900
Or was it something even more sinister?
103
00:05:44,713 --> 00:05:47,908
- [Voiceover] Incredibly her
experience is not unique.
104
00:05:47,908 --> 00:05:50,050
Hundreds have reported encounters
105
00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:53,874
with dark, humanoid,
transparent creatures.
106
00:05:55,486 --> 00:05:57,969
They call them shadow people.
107
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,683
But what are they?
108
00:06:00,683 --> 00:06:04,447
Rosemary has come to an
incredible conclusion.
109
00:06:05,388 --> 00:06:07,715
- The shadow people come
from other dimensions,
110
00:06:07,715 --> 00:06:10,598
parallel dimensions that are
right here on this planet.
111
00:06:10,598 --> 00:06:12,640
They're just around a
certain bend in space
112
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,042
where we can't normally see them
113
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:18,045
except under the right circumstances.
114
00:06:20,428 --> 00:06:21,850
- [Voiceover] Are shadow people intruders
115
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:23,972
from a parallel dimension?
116
00:06:23,972 --> 00:06:26,975
If so, how do they cross into our world?
117
00:06:26,975 --> 00:06:29,177
And what do they want?
118
00:06:32,140 --> 00:06:34,323
Chris French is a psychologist.
119
00:06:34,323 --> 00:06:37,567
He believes there is a simple explanation.
120
00:06:39,028 --> 00:06:42,392
- These shadow people are just shadows.
121
00:06:42,392 --> 00:06:45,256
The way that these shadow
people are said to move,
122
00:06:45,256 --> 00:06:46,858
it's kind of a very fleeting motion.
123
00:06:46,858 --> 00:06:47,939
One moment they're there,
124
00:06:47,939 --> 00:06:50,101
the next moment they're somewhere else.
125
00:06:50,101 --> 00:06:52,498
I mean, to me it sounds very much
126
00:06:52,498 --> 00:06:55,773
like the way that shadows move.
127
00:06:56,369 --> 00:06:59,392
- [Voiceover] Are shadow
people simply random shadows?
128
00:06:59,392 --> 00:07:03,257
If so what gives them such
distinct human shapes?
129
00:07:04,889 --> 00:07:07,121
French believes the answer lies
130
00:07:07,121 --> 00:07:10,525
in a phenomenon called pareidolia.
131
00:07:10,525 --> 00:07:13,622
- Pareidolia refers
specifically to this idea
132
00:07:13,622 --> 00:07:16,034
that we can sometimes think we see
133
00:07:16,034 --> 00:07:17,826
clear and distinct human forms
134
00:07:17,826 --> 00:07:21,199
in what essentially is just
random background noise.
135
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,683
So I think everybody's
probably had the experience
136
00:07:23,683 --> 00:07:25,545
of looking at patterns on wallpaper
137
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,887
and making out faces in those patterns.
138
00:07:27,887 --> 00:07:31,450
Or we look up in the clouds
and we see animal shapes.
139
00:07:32,311 --> 00:07:35,636
People have found images of
Christ in plates of spaghetti,
140
00:07:35,636 --> 00:07:40,561
in cinnamon buns, in the
burn marks on tortillas.
141
00:07:41,742 --> 00:07:43,125
What you've got are really
kind of more or less
142
00:07:43,125 --> 00:07:46,350
random patterns but we will impose
143
00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:47,992
some kind of meaning on them.
144
00:07:47,992 --> 00:07:51,395
People tend to experience shadow people
145
00:07:51,395 --> 00:07:53,798
in certain kinds of locations.
146
00:07:53,798 --> 00:07:56,601
If you are in a forest,
if you are in a cave,
147
00:07:56,601 --> 00:07:59,103
if you're in somewhere where
there's lots of shadows
148
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:02,136
then those are precisely
the kind of random
149
00:08:02,136 --> 00:08:05,071
background visual noise situations
150
00:08:05,071 --> 00:08:06,383
where you might actually think you
151
00:08:06,383 --> 00:08:08,116
can see things that aren't there.
152
00:08:08,116 --> 00:08:09,758
And there's probably also the fact
153
00:08:09,758 --> 00:08:12,320
that in certain kinds of
environments there are
154
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,243
reasons why we might
actually feel on edge.
155
00:08:15,243 --> 00:08:17,165
So for example, if you went in a cave
156
00:08:17,165 --> 00:08:19,568
and there's a very, very
high ceiling in the cave
157
00:08:19,568 --> 00:08:22,572
then, again, that will tend to
make us feel slightly on edge
158
00:08:22,572 --> 00:08:24,173
'cause we don't know what's up there,
159
00:08:24,173 --> 00:08:26,375
what might be about to jump on us.
160
00:08:26,375 --> 00:08:29,118
And if you think of this from
the evolutionary perspective
161
00:08:29,118 --> 00:08:31,080
it makes sense that in certain locations
162
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,525
we are more kind of alert,
more on guard, more aware
163
00:08:35,525 --> 00:08:38,808
of possible threats in the
environment than in other places.
164
00:08:39,729 --> 00:08:42,704
- [Voiceover] But many who
have encountered shadow people
165
00:08:42,704 --> 00:08:45,809
feel physically threatened.
166
00:08:45,809 --> 00:08:47,299
Why?
167
00:08:47,299 --> 00:08:49,762
- I think one of the reasons
that people often perceive
168
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:54,086
these things as being something
potentially threatening
169
00:08:54,086 --> 00:08:57,169
is because that's the way we've evolved.
170
00:08:57,169 --> 00:08:59,892
In terms of our evolutionary history then
171
00:08:59,892 --> 00:09:02,875
it makes sense that we
have cognitive systems
172
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:06,579
that are very much tuned to picking up
173
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:08,761
on possible threats in the environment.
174
00:09:08,761 --> 00:09:12,524
And so very often if we think
we can see some kind of form,
175
00:09:12,524 --> 00:09:14,406
if we think there's something out there
176
00:09:14,406 --> 00:09:16,629
that might do us harm,
then it's better to err
177
00:09:16,629 --> 00:09:20,292
on the side of perceiving it
that way as a potential threat
178
00:09:20,292 --> 00:09:22,675
and getting out of any possible danger
179
00:09:22,675 --> 00:09:25,257
rather than to take any risks.
180
00:09:26,538 --> 00:09:28,021
Some guy back in the stone age
181
00:09:28,021 --> 00:09:29,603
and he thinks that there might
182
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:32,345
be a saber toothed tiger in that bush.
183
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:35,290
On the one hand you've got
the guy who very quickly
184
00:09:35,290 --> 00:09:38,113
decides it's a saber
tooth tiger and runs away.
185
00:09:38,113 --> 00:09:39,374
You've got the other guy who stands there
186
00:09:39,374 --> 00:09:40,836
scratching his beard wondering whether
187
00:09:40,836 --> 00:09:43,879
it really is a saber toothed
tiger, he gets eaten.
188
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,161
So who's gonna pass on their genes?
189
00:09:46,161 --> 00:09:48,463
We've evolved to survive.
190
00:09:49,795 --> 00:09:52,067
- [Voiceover] Are our
survival instincts tricking us
191
00:09:52,067 --> 00:09:56,541
into believing a shadow is a
terrifying and real creature?
192
00:09:57,442 --> 00:09:58,984
- It's an extremely common phenomenon
193
00:09:58,984 --> 00:10:01,506
for perfectly sane people to sometimes
194
00:10:01,506 --> 00:10:04,309
see things that aren't actually there.
195
00:10:05,851 --> 00:10:08,193
There are parts of the
brain that are hardwired
196
00:10:08,193 --> 00:10:11,526
to recognize faces and human forms
197
00:10:11,526 --> 00:10:13,859
and so sometimes those parts of the brain
198
00:10:13,859 --> 00:10:15,891
will actually fire when what we're
199
00:10:15,891 --> 00:10:19,094
looking at are really just shadows.
200
00:10:19,094 --> 00:10:21,406
- [Voiceover] Are shadow
people simply shadows?
201
00:10:23,063 --> 00:10:26,907
Rosemary Guiley isn't convinced.
202
00:10:26,907 --> 00:10:29,163
- It was not a trick of my imagination.
203
00:10:29,163 --> 00:10:33,537
It was unmistakable black
shape moving through the trees.
204
00:10:41,149 --> 00:10:45,454
- You know it's amazing how
real shadows can appear.
205
00:10:45,454 --> 00:10:50,153
But could something like
this be a terrifying
206
00:10:50,153 --> 00:10:51,983
shadow creature from another dimension
207
00:10:51,983 --> 00:10:54,612
that's come to pay us a visit?
208
00:10:56,437 --> 00:10:58,070
(dog barking)
209
00:10:58,674 --> 00:11:02,178
Did you do that, Fluffy?
210
00:11:05,141 --> 00:11:08,395
- [Voiceover] So who
exactly are shadow people?
211
00:11:08,395 --> 00:11:11,039
Where do they come from?
212
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,356
One man believes he has the answer.
213
00:11:13,356 --> 00:11:14,903
- They belong to a race of beings
214
00:11:14,903 --> 00:11:17,180
that pre-date human beings.
215
00:11:17,180 --> 00:11:21,044
They exist in a dimension
very close to ours.
216
00:11:21,044 --> 00:11:23,241
- [Voiceover] A woman has
a terrifying encounter
217
00:11:23,241 --> 00:11:25,763
with a human-like shadow.
218
00:11:25,763 --> 00:11:27,879
Was it a trick of her mind,
219
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:31,743
or a visitor from a parallel world?
220
00:11:31,743 --> 00:11:34,975
Philip Imbrogno is a
paranormal researcher.
221
00:11:34,975 --> 00:11:38,271
He thinks the answer is clear.
222
00:11:38,271 --> 00:11:41,463
- From the cases that I've
studied about shadow people
223
00:11:41,463 --> 00:11:44,941
I believe they are
inter-dimensional in nature.
224
00:11:44,941 --> 00:11:47,992
They are intelligent.
225
00:11:47,992 --> 00:11:52,997
They belong to a race of beings
that pre-dates human beings.
226
00:11:53,381 --> 00:11:57,123
They exist in a dimension
very close to ours.
227
00:11:57,123 --> 00:12:00,072
- [Voiceover] It's an
incredible theory, but it begs
228
00:12:00,072 --> 00:12:01,823
one big question.
229
00:12:01,823 --> 00:12:05,958
How can we know these
other dimensions exist?
230
00:12:06,845 --> 00:12:10,385
Imbrogno believes the answer
lies with the force of gravity
231
00:12:10,385 --> 00:12:14,255
and its component part, the graviton.
232
00:12:14,654 --> 00:12:17,604
- A graviton is a theoretical particle
233
00:12:17,604 --> 00:12:21,529
that ties the entire universe together.
234
00:12:21,529 --> 00:12:25,738
It blends in with Einstein's
theory of special relativity.
235
00:12:25,738 --> 00:12:30,707
And one of the things that science
236
00:12:31,109 --> 00:12:33,955
could not explain for many centuries
237
00:12:33,955 --> 00:12:38,960
is why is gravity the weakest
force in the universe?
238
00:12:39,487 --> 00:12:43,148
Theoretically it should
be the strongest force.
239
00:12:43,148 --> 00:12:45,229
It's not.
240
00:12:45,995 --> 00:12:51,000
Now the particle that is
responsible for gravity
241
00:12:51,648 --> 00:12:53,703
has been labeled the graviton.
242
00:12:53,703 --> 00:12:57,404
Gravitons flow through the
dimensions just like a wave,
243
00:12:57,404 --> 00:13:01,473
these particles have a
pull, like a magnetic pull.
244
00:13:01,771 --> 00:13:05,453
The gravity coming from our
sun, reaching the Earth,
245
00:13:05,453 --> 00:13:08,281
should theoretically tear the Earth apart.
246
00:13:08,281 --> 00:13:10,604
But it doesn't.
247
00:13:10,761 --> 00:13:15,766
If all of these gravitons
being emitted from the sun
248
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,934
were filtered through multi-dimensions
249
00:13:19,934 --> 00:13:23,695
before they reach us, it
could give us an indication
250
00:13:23,695 --> 00:13:28,543
that these other extra
dimensions do, in fact, exist.
251
00:13:29,472 --> 00:13:31,729
- [Voiceover] If that
sounds like gobbledygook
252
00:13:31,729 --> 00:13:34,556
here's the simple version.
253
00:13:34,556 --> 00:13:38,014
Imbrogno thinks gravity is being weakened
254
00:13:38,014 --> 00:13:40,231
as it travels from the sun to Earth
255
00:13:40,231 --> 00:13:43,302
because it's being diffused
as it passes through,
256
00:13:43,302 --> 00:13:46,392
yeah, you guessed it, other dimensions
257
00:13:46,392 --> 00:13:48,589
that are home to shadow people.
258
00:13:48,589 --> 00:13:50,868
It's an extraordinary,
and somewhat crazy idea,
259
00:13:50,868 --> 00:13:55,402
but if there are other
dimensions surrounding ours,
260
00:13:55,402 --> 00:14:00,407
how are shadow people traveling
between them and to us?
261
00:14:01,931 --> 00:14:03,781
- Shadow people may understand
262
00:14:03,781 --> 00:14:08,181
the concept of the
gravitons more than we do.
263
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,039
Their technology has been around
264
00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:14,905
thousands and thousands of
years before human beings
265
00:14:14,905 --> 00:14:18,201
so they may understand
that they may have to
266
00:14:18,201 --> 00:14:21,048
focus gravitons at a particular area
267
00:14:21,048 --> 00:14:26,053
to open up a portal to
lead into our reality.
268
00:14:30,037 --> 00:14:32,132
- [Voiceover] According
to Imbrogno, he will soon
269
00:14:32,132 --> 00:14:35,832
have hard scientific evidence
to support his theory.
270
00:14:35,832 --> 00:14:37,969
- When these dimensions are opened up
271
00:14:37,969 --> 00:14:41,798
we should see an influx of gravitons.
272
00:14:45,656 --> 00:14:50,135
This interaction can be measured
273
00:14:50,394 --> 00:14:54,448
so the exciting research that
I'm involved in right now
274
00:14:54,828 --> 00:14:57,390
is building devices that would be able
275
00:14:57,390 --> 00:15:01,579
to detect large amounts of gravitons
276
00:15:01,579 --> 00:15:06,406
to predict when shadow
people would appear.
277
00:15:08,616 --> 00:15:10,305
- [Voiceover] Are shadow
people using gravity
278
00:15:10,305 --> 00:15:13,551
to open portals to our dimension?
279
00:15:14,352 --> 00:15:17,409
And if so what do they want?
280
00:15:18,358 --> 00:15:20,982
- Their purpose, their agenda, may vary
281
00:15:20,982 --> 00:15:24,155
depending upon the group of shadow people.
282
00:15:24,155 --> 00:15:26,859
I don't think they have one agenda.
283
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:30,546
I don't think they work
together as a team.
284
00:15:30,845 --> 00:15:34,871
I think they work together more
or less in clans or groups.
285
00:15:34,871 --> 00:15:38,492
Some of them have certain agendas,
286
00:15:38,492 --> 00:15:41,441
some of them may have different agendas.
287
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:45,590
It seems to me that the main objective
288
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:50,595
of the shadow person
visit is to learn about us
289
00:15:50,776 --> 00:15:54,315
as much as they can by observing us.
290
00:15:54,315 --> 00:15:57,833
Some people would find
that very unsettling.
291
00:15:57,833 --> 00:16:01,555
Usually the prelude to an invasion
292
00:16:01,555 --> 00:16:03,690
is going and getting intelligence
293
00:16:03,690 --> 00:16:07,366
before you make your move.
294
00:16:07,371 --> 00:16:11,850
Some people believe this
is what's being done.
295
00:16:11,864 --> 00:16:14,302
I would like to think that
they've just discovered us
296
00:16:14,302 --> 00:16:18,593
and they're as curious about us
297
00:16:18,593 --> 00:16:20,889
as we are about them.
298
00:16:20,889 --> 00:16:22,375
And perhaps some day in the future
299
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:24,287
they may make their presence known to us
300
00:16:24,287 --> 00:16:28,192
and try to coexist with
us, since we are neighbors.
301
00:16:28,192 --> 00:16:32,564
They are the neighbors we
rarely, very rarely see.
302
00:16:32,564 --> 00:16:36,550
The next door neighbor
who has a big high fence
303
00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:38,056
and which we can't see what they're like.
304
00:16:38,056 --> 00:16:41,046
We're trying to find out about them
305
00:16:41,046 --> 00:16:44,177
but we can't violate their privacy.
306
00:16:44,177 --> 00:16:48,042
And one day, maybe the
neighbor will open up the gate
307
00:16:48,042 --> 00:16:49,627
and announce themselves and say,
308
00:16:49,627 --> 00:16:51,803
"We've been listening for you for many
309
00:16:51,803 --> 00:16:54,779
"many years and we'd like to be friends."
310
00:16:55,119 --> 00:16:56,683
- [Voiceover] Did
Rosemary Guiley encounter
311
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:59,436
a curious shadow person?
312
00:17:00,122 --> 00:17:02,379
Are we facing an invasion of beings
313
00:17:02,379 --> 00:17:05,064
from a neighboring dimension?
314
00:17:05,064 --> 00:17:08,074
Should we be afraid, very afraid?
315
00:17:08,074 --> 00:17:11,658
Or are they nothing but a trick of light?
316
00:17:12,872 --> 00:17:16,276
Weird or what?
317
00:17:17,551 --> 00:17:22,501
(dramatic music)
318
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:36,871
- You know I used to get into
a lot of sticky situations
319
00:17:36,871 --> 00:17:41,574
during our voyage on
the Starship Enterprise
320
00:17:41,996 --> 00:17:46,395
but I was always able to
get out of them like this.
321
00:17:49,623 --> 00:17:51,473
Ah see what I just did there.
322
00:17:51,473 --> 00:17:53,792
And I didn't even have
Scotty to beam me up.
323
00:17:53,792 --> 00:17:57,472
But, can we somehow transport ourselves
324
00:17:57,472 --> 00:18:00,808
from one location to
another in an instant?
325
00:18:00,808 --> 00:18:03,390
Ahhh, things like that
are science fiction.
326
00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:05,041
Right?
327
00:18:05,587 --> 00:18:07,504
Wrong.
328
00:18:09,472 --> 00:18:12,893
- [Voiceover] 1960 suburban New Jersey.
329
00:18:14,881 --> 00:18:17,261
Six year old Andrew Basiago is about
330
00:18:17,261 --> 00:18:20,541
to have the most
incredible day of his life.
331
00:18:20,556 --> 00:18:21,857
- My Dad called out to my Mother and said,
332
00:18:21,857 --> 00:18:25,625
"Hon I'm taking Andy
to the hardware store."
333
00:18:27,227 --> 00:18:28,933
Instead he drove me up to the old
334
00:18:28,933 --> 00:18:31,741
aeronautical company facility
in Wood-Ridge, New Jersey,
335
00:18:31,741 --> 00:18:36,581
a large defense technical
experimental area
336
00:18:36,581 --> 00:18:39,693
that dated back to World War II.
337
00:18:39,693 --> 00:18:41,869
- [Voiceover] As they entered
the facility, Andy wonders
338
00:18:41,869 --> 00:18:46,064
why his father Frank would
bring him to a place like this?
339
00:18:46,547 --> 00:18:49,415
- [Voiceover] I didn't
know what was happening.
340
00:18:49,415 --> 00:18:52,282
- [Voiceover] Andrew's dad
leads him to a secret room.
341
00:18:52,282 --> 00:18:57,066
Inside is something unlike
anything he's ever seen before.
342
00:18:59,928 --> 00:19:01,107
- It was so strange.
343
00:19:01,107 --> 00:19:04,566
It essentially consisted of
two elliptical shaped booms
344
00:19:04,566 --> 00:19:07,982
that were about eight feet
tall and about 10 feet across.
345
00:19:07,982 --> 00:19:09,995
- [Voiceover] It's a machine that's
346
00:19:09,995 --> 00:19:12,747
beyond Andrew's comprehension.
347
00:19:12,882 --> 00:19:16,501
Whatever it is his father
is clearly in charge.
348
00:19:17,226 --> 00:19:19,219
But why?
349
00:19:19,219 --> 00:19:21,645
And what is it for?
350
00:19:21,945 --> 00:19:24,921
- [Voiceover] He had the
technician turn the device on.
351
00:19:25,138 --> 00:19:28,433
- [Voiceover] As Andrew watches,
the booms begin to spin,
352
00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:32,486
generating a strange cascade of energy.
353
00:19:32,724 --> 00:19:35,773
- It looked almost like water
falling in a public fountain.
354
00:19:35,773 --> 00:19:39,584
It was a very beautiful sort
of shimmering field of energy.
355
00:19:40,594 --> 00:19:44,316
- [Voiceover] As the energy
field from the machine grows,
356
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:47,780
Andrew's dad does something incredible.
357
00:19:49,684 --> 00:19:52,370
He tells his son to take his hand
358
00:19:52,370 --> 00:19:55,772
then the unimaginable happens.
359
00:19:57,536 --> 00:19:59,508
- [Voiceover] We counted
down one, two, three.
360
00:19:59,508 --> 00:20:01,501
- On the count of three we jumped through
361
00:20:01,501 --> 00:20:03,332
the field of energy.
362
00:20:03,332 --> 00:20:05,589
We seemed to be moving
and I could ultimately see
363
00:20:05,589 --> 00:20:07,521
a point of light in the distance.
364
00:20:07,521 --> 00:20:10,937
And that light reached us
very quickly and accelerated.
365
00:20:10,937 --> 00:20:15,418
And when the light hit us, we
were elsewhere in the country.
366
00:20:15,697 --> 00:20:17,426
Now my father didn't
tell me where were going.
367
00:20:17,426 --> 00:20:20,719
In fact we were jumping 2,005 miles
368
00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:23,649
through this vortal tunnel
in the fabric of time-space
369
00:20:23,649 --> 00:20:27,802
to the state capital grounds
in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
370
00:20:27,817 --> 00:20:29,892
- [Voiceover] It's an astonishing claim.
371
00:20:29,892 --> 00:20:33,512
Did two humans actually
transport from New Jersey
372
00:20:33,512 --> 00:20:36,746
to New Mexico in the blink of an eye?
373
00:20:36,746 --> 00:20:40,366
What happened to Andrew and his father?
374
00:20:40,366 --> 00:20:44,067
Is his story just the wild
fantasy of a six year old?
375
00:20:44,067 --> 00:20:47,403
Basiago believes there is only one answer.
376
00:20:47,403 --> 00:20:49,984
- I think I must have teleported.
377
00:20:49,984 --> 00:20:52,201
Imagine traveling through
the Lincoln Tunnel
378
00:20:52,201 --> 00:20:54,500
in New York City at 10,000 miles per hour
379
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:56,859
without any automobile around.
380
00:20:56,859 --> 00:20:58,201
That's sort of what it was like.
381
00:20:58,201 --> 00:21:00,765
We were physically moving through
382
00:21:00,765 --> 00:21:04,532
a vortal tunnel in the
fabric of time-space.
383
00:21:04,567 --> 00:21:06,356
- [Voiceover] Had Andrew's father Frank
384
00:21:06,356 --> 00:21:09,915
invented the world's first
teleportation machine?
385
00:21:09,915 --> 00:21:12,668
And if so why?
386
00:21:16,037 --> 00:21:19,826
Frank Basiago was no ordinary dad.
387
00:21:20,083 --> 00:21:21,976
During the Cold War the US and Soviets
388
00:21:21,976 --> 00:21:25,460
raced for military superiority.
389
00:21:26,979 --> 00:21:31,005
Frank was head of a top
secret American research team
390
00:21:31,005 --> 00:21:35,059
who were conducting
experiments into teleportation.
391
00:21:36,639 --> 00:21:40,875
But why did Frank use
his son as a guinea pig?
392
00:21:41,337 --> 00:21:43,003
- I think my dad's immediate
goal in inviting me
393
00:21:43,003 --> 00:21:45,608
to teleport was to show
that if teleportation
394
00:21:45,608 --> 00:21:49,879
was safe for his son, it was
safe for anybody's child.
395
00:21:49,879 --> 00:21:52,055
And I was in it as a child
just as, for example,
396
00:21:52,055 --> 00:21:55,085
a child may have been aboard
one of Columbus's boats,
397
00:21:55,085 --> 00:21:57,220
or may have been an office
boy to the Wright brothers,
398
00:21:57,220 --> 00:22:00,603
or an assistant to Thomas Alva Edison.
399
00:22:01,044 --> 00:22:03,240
- [Voiceover] After the
success of his experiment
400
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,945
Frank Basiago decides teleportation
401
00:22:05,945 --> 00:22:08,980
is too important to keep secret.
402
00:22:08,996 --> 00:22:14,001
He wants to tell the world,
but the US military disagrees.
403
00:22:15,137 --> 00:22:16,826
- And so the unfortunate history
404
00:22:16,826 --> 00:22:19,286
of US teleportation is
that it has remained
405
00:22:19,286 --> 00:22:23,217
essentially a military secret ever since.
406
00:22:23,842 --> 00:22:27,874
- [Voiceover] 40 years later,
Andrew is on a mission.
407
00:22:28,356 --> 00:22:33,080
He believes teleportation
technology is vitally important.
408
00:22:33,257 --> 00:22:37,414
His father's invention should
be available to all of us.
409
00:22:38,301 --> 00:22:41,149
- Today I am leading the Truth Campaign.
410
00:22:41,149 --> 00:22:42,451
I am urging the United States government
411
00:22:42,451 --> 00:22:45,196
to declassify teleportation
to allow people
412
00:22:45,196 --> 00:22:48,740
to teleport between major world cities.
413
00:22:48,755 --> 00:22:50,586
The way I see it I have a duty simply
414
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:52,700
to stand in my truth and tell it,
415
00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:54,735
tell the truth about what happened.
416
00:22:54,735 --> 00:22:57,195
Because this was clearly
an important epoch
417
00:22:57,195 --> 00:22:59,351
in the history of applied science.
418
00:22:59,351 --> 00:23:03,051
This was the moment when our
human civilization on Earth
419
00:23:03,051 --> 00:23:05,920
became a time-space faring civilization.
420
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,666
And so I'm speaking out,
primarily, because I feel
421
00:23:08,666 --> 00:23:11,899
I have an historical
duty to inform humanity
422
00:23:11,899 --> 00:23:14,095
that time-space emerged in this context
423
00:23:14,095 --> 00:23:16,414
in the late 60s and early 1970s.
424
00:23:16,414 --> 00:23:18,936
And that in the 21st century we may need
425
00:23:18,936 --> 00:23:21,905
to use teleportation to solve the crisis
426
00:23:21,905 --> 00:23:23,553
of environment and development.
427
00:23:23,553 --> 00:23:25,504
So I'm speaking out also simply
428
00:23:25,504 --> 00:23:26,989
with the hope that if we can declassify
429
00:23:26,989 --> 00:23:29,388
and deploy teleportation we can use it
430
00:23:29,388 --> 00:23:33,172
to actively advantage
humanity in the 21st century.
431
00:23:33,172 --> 00:23:35,714
- [Voiceover] Did Frank
Basiago invent a machine
432
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:38,032
that could instantly transport us across
433
00:23:38,032 --> 00:23:42,085
the world, or even to other dimensions?
434
00:23:42,548 --> 00:23:45,747
Is teleportation possible?
435
00:23:46,655 --> 00:23:49,483
- I wouldn't like to be the
first one to be teleported.
436
00:23:49,483 --> 00:23:53,901
I would worry to end up,
maybe, like a Picasso painting.
437
00:23:57,007 --> 00:23:59,469
- [Voiceover] A boy enters
a teleportation machine
438
00:23:59,469 --> 00:24:03,969
and is suddenly transported
thousands of miles in seconds.
439
00:24:04,227 --> 00:24:07,446
Is human teleportation possible?
440
00:24:09,209 --> 00:24:12,749
Raymond Laflamme is a physicist.
441
00:24:12,749 --> 00:24:17,528
He thinks the idea we can teleport
our bodies is simply fantasy.
442
00:24:17,528 --> 00:24:20,721
- It seems that the laws of
physics are more constrained
443
00:24:20,721 --> 00:24:24,482
than the imagination of human beings.
444
00:24:24,482 --> 00:24:26,090
The first idea that we have when we think
445
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:29,242
about teleportation is the Star Trek idea,
446
00:24:29,242 --> 00:24:30,949
"Beam me up Scotty."
447
00:24:30,949 --> 00:24:34,448
The idea of taking a person,
so they disintegrate in some
448
00:24:34,448 --> 00:24:37,397
form and reappearing
up in a space station.
449
00:24:37,397 --> 00:24:41,634
Now this is something that
happens in science fiction.
450
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:43,844
- [Voiceover] But
incredibly, although Laflamme
451
00:24:43,844 --> 00:24:47,239
dismisses the idea that
people can teleport,
452
00:24:47,239 --> 00:24:50,698
he does believe it can
happen in other ways.
453
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:54,955
Because he was one of the
first scientists to do it.
454
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:58,894
- We're not teleporting matter
from one location to the other.
455
00:24:58,894 --> 00:25:01,537
We're really teleporting information.
456
00:25:01,537 --> 00:25:05,154
- [Voiceover] Wait a second,
teleporting information?
457
00:25:05,431 --> 00:25:09,017
How is that any different
than sending an email?
458
00:25:09,052 --> 00:25:11,410
- When we send an email
or even when we talk
459
00:25:11,410 --> 00:25:14,950
on our cellular phone, the
information goes from the sender
460
00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:18,666
through the intervening
space to a receiver.
461
00:25:19,404 --> 00:25:21,743
- [Voiceover] Remarkably,
Laflamme has been able
462
00:25:21,743 --> 00:25:24,325
to teleport information
without it traveling
463
00:25:24,325 --> 00:25:27,071
through any device at all.
464
00:25:27,071 --> 00:25:29,614
- What has been teleported is one
465
00:25:29,614 --> 00:25:33,600
quantum bit of information, or cubit,
466
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,691
is sent from one location to the other.
467
00:25:36,691 --> 00:25:39,965
It has happened in
nuclear magnetic resonance
468
00:25:39,965 --> 00:25:41,877
where the information has gone from
469
00:25:41,877 --> 00:25:44,663
one atom of a molecule to another one.
470
00:25:44,663 --> 00:25:46,900
But it has also appeared in optics
471
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:49,950
where people have put information,
or quantum information,
472
00:25:49,950 --> 00:25:52,269
in a particle of light, called photons,
473
00:25:52,269 --> 00:25:55,502
send it to another location
a few kilometers away
474
00:25:55,502 --> 00:25:57,842
and then made it reappear over there.
475
00:25:57,842 --> 00:26:00,241
We've been able to
teleport a few kilometers
476
00:26:00,241 --> 00:26:02,397
taking one particle of information
477
00:26:02,397 --> 00:26:04,919
and make it reappear a few
kilometers down the line.
478
00:26:04,919 --> 00:26:07,650
We've been able to do this.
479
00:26:07,908 --> 00:26:09,149
- [Voiceover] It works like this.
480
00:26:09,149 --> 00:26:10,654
In the world of quantum physics
481
00:26:10,654 --> 00:26:12,831
even the tiniest particles are somehow
482
00:26:12,831 --> 00:26:16,979
connected, even across huge distances.
483
00:26:16,979 --> 00:26:21,350
In quantum teleportation,
such entangled particles
484
00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:25,405
can literally be in two places at once.
485
00:26:26,211 --> 00:26:29,445
- Absolutely amazing that we can teleport.
486
00:26:29,445 --> 00:26:31,012
In quantum teleportation it seems
487
00:26:31,012 --> 00:26:34,815
to disappear here and reappear there.
488
00:26:34,815 --> 00:26:37,418
It looks like a piece of magic,
489
00:26:37,418 --> 00:26:40,184
a piece which we're not used to.
490
00:26:40,184 --> 00:26:42,095
Once we have technology based
491
00:26:42,095 --> 00:26:46,554
on quantum entanglement,
on quantum teleportation,
492
00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:49,743
maybe we'll think it's
very familiar and banal.
493
00:26:49,743 --> 00:26:53,328
But today for us, it looks
something very unusual.
494
00:26:55,293 --> 00:26:57,044
- [Voiceover] This
technology can soon be used
495
00:26:57,044 --> 00:26:59,362
to instantly communicate with spaceships,
496
00:26:59,362 --> 00:27:01,991
no matter how far away.
497
00:27:02,718 --> 00:27:04,548
Or send military communications
498
00:27:04,548 --> 00:27:07,584
that are impossible to intercept.
499
00:27:07,945 --> 00:27:10,567
- We're just at the
beginning of understanding
500
00:27:10,567 --> 00:27:14,093
what is quantum
teleportation, how it works.
501
00:27:15,267 --> 00:27:18,359
- [Voiceover] We may be able
to teleport information,
502
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,470
but does Andrew Basiago's story mean
503
00:27:21,470 --> 00:27:24,446
we can do it to ourselves?
504
00:27:24,888 --> 00:27:27,551
Laflamme thinks not.
505
00:27:27,551 --> 00:27:28,833
- He must have a secret that I
506
00:27:28,833 --> 00:27:31,394
do not have to be able to do this.
507
00:27:31,394 --> 00:27:34,344
But I wouldn't like to be the
first one to be teleported,
508
00:27:34,344 --> 00:27:39,089
I would worry to end up,
maybe, like a Picasso painting.
509
00:27:40,995 --> 00:27:44,065
- [Voiceover] If human
teleportation isn't possible,
510
00:27:44,065 --> 00:27:47,391
what happened to Andrew Basiago?
511
00:27:47,391 --> 00:27:48,569
Was his incredible journey
512
00:27:48,569 --> 00:27:51,831
just a figment of childhood imagination?
513
00:27:52,842 --> 00:27:55,791
Bruce Goldberg is a hypnotherapist.
514
00:27:55,791 --> 00:28:00,373
He thinks stories like
Andrew's are very real.
515
00:28:01,606 --> 00:28:03,887
- We have ancient literature
going back thousands of years
516
00:28:03,887 --> 00:28:05,514
to people who have teleported.
517
00:28:05,514 --> 00:28:06,673
There are a lot of religious cases
518
00:28:06,673 --> 00:28:08,849
but there are also secular cases too.
519
00:28:08,849 --> 00:28:10,883
I think teleportation exists.
520
00:28:10,883 --> 00:28:12,984
- [Voiceover] But how?
521
00:28:13,181 --> 00:28:16,353
Goldberg believes he's
discovered the secret.
522
00:28:16,353 --> 00:28:18,672
- Teleportation is a
very complex mechanism
523
00:28:18,672 --> 00:28:21,010
and basically what happens
is it's very similar
524
00:28:21,010 --> 00:28:23,289
in the beginning to out of body
experiences where you might
525
00:28:23,289 --> 00:28:25,953
feel like a buzzing sound
or a tingly feeling.
526
00:28:25,953 --> 00:28:27,784
Very often people feel a pop
527
00:28:27,784 --> 00:28:31,443
over the left ear, a popping sound, okay?
528
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:32,786
Then they're gonna feel a rush
529
00:28:32,786 --> 00:28:35,287
and a feeling of spiraling upwards.
530
00:28:35,287 --> 00:28:36,488
Now remember from their perspective
531
00:28:36,488 --> 00:28:37,912
they don't notice any difference.
532
00:28:37,912 --> 00:28:40,861
They feel these feelings,
but people to observe
533
00:28:40,861 --> 00:28:43,849
them objectively, would see
them actually disappearing.
534
00:28:43,849 --> 00:28:44,989
Just they're there one second
535
00:28:44,989 --> 00:28:46,675
and they're not there the next.
536
00:28:46,675 --> 00:28:48,873
So they have this
spiraling upward feeling,
537
00:28:48,873 --> 00:28:51,111
their perspective when
they're going through
538
00:28:51,111 --> 00:28:53,367
the teleportation is very narrow,
539
00:28:53,367 --> 00:28:55,259
it's almost like they're
looking through a keyhole.
540
00:28:55,259 --> 00:28:57,090
Their perspective gets very, very strange
541
00:28:57,090 --> 00:28:59,469
for a few moments, and then they arrive
542
00:28:59,469 --> 00:29:02,662
at the location whey they desired to be.
543
00:29:02,662 --> 00:29:05,712
So this tingling feeling, the buzzing,
544
00:29:05,712 --> 00:29:08,275
the spiraling upward sensation of a rush,
545
00:29:08,275 --> 00:29:10,431
of an energy rush, are characteristics
546
00:29:10,431 --> 00:29:12,872
of both teleportation and
out of body experience.
547
00:29:12,872 --> 00:29:14,865
The difference here is the keyhole effect
548
00:29:14,865 --> 00:29:17,061
is limited to the
teleportation, and of course,
549
00:29:17,061 --> 00:29:20,152
the physical body moves from
one location to another.
550
00:29:20,152 --> 00:29:23,955
I first discovered teleportation
while working with patients.
551
00:29:23,955 --> 00:29:27,351
People would describe
disappearing from one location.
552
00:29:27,351 --> 00:29:29,914
One gentleman went from New York City
553
00:29:29,914 --> 00:29:33,472
to Paris, in an instant,
I mean he disappeared.
554
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:35,201
His wife was sitting in
the same room and told me,
555
00:29:35,201 --> 00:29:36,564
"Yep, my husband disappeared,
556
00:29:36,564 --> 00:29:39,797
"I don't know where he went
and I was right there."
557
00:29:39,797 --> 00:29:43,607
- [Voiceover] At first
Goldberg doubted his patients.
558
00:29:43,682 --> 00:29:44,944
- So then I started doing research
559
00:29:44,944 --> 00:29:46,611
about the teleportation cases.
560
00:29:46,611 --> 00:29:48,318
These are a psychologically stable people,
561
00:29:48,318 --> 00:29:49,742
I know them, I know their families.
562
00:29:49,742 --> 00:29:52,651
And they weren't on drugs, okay?
563
00:29:52,651 --> 00:29:54,298
- [Voiceover] But as he
continued his research
564
00:29:54,298 --> 00:29:56,596
Goldberg's patients began to describe
565
00:29:56,596 --> 00:30:00,639
their teleportation experiences
in remarkable detail.
566
00:30:01,548 --> 00:30:05,743
And they all had one thing in common.
567
00:30:05,941 --> 00:30:09,500
- You see first, just a little
bit, like tunnel vision.
568
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:13,261
And then all of a sudden you appear whole.
569
00:30:13,261 --> 00:30:16,780
The people look exactly like we do.
570
00:30:16,780 --> 00:30:18,570
(laughs) Some of the people that I meet
571
00:30:18,570 --> 00:30:22,089
are recognizable, I know who they are.
572
00:30:22,089 --> 00:30:23,450
- [Voiceover] Incredibly the people they
573
00:30:23,450 --> 00:30:27,525
encountered were replicas of, themselves.
574
00:30:28,048 --> 00:30:30,915
The hauntingly similar experiences
575
00:30:30,915 --> 00:30:34,296
led Goldberg to a stunning insight.
576
00:30:34,494 --> 00:30:37,260
- When you teleport
you leave this universe
577
00:30:37,260 --> 00:30:40,411
and move into a parallel universe.
578
00:30:40,411 --> 00:30:43,360
Parallel universes are sister universes
579
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,883
that exist alongside ours.
580
00:30:45,883 --> 00:30:48,242
Your DNA is exactly the same
581
00:30:48,242 --> 00:30:51,211
in your parallel life, as it is here.
582
00:30:51,211 --> 00:30:53,306
- [Voiceover] Are
Goldberg's patients somehow
583
00:30:53,306 --> 00:30:55,706
being sucked into parallel dimensions
584
00:30:55,706 --> 00:30:59,311
and then meeting their own doppelgangers?
585
00:30:59,998 --> 00:31:02,031
- Now this is getting really crazy.
586
00:31:02,031 --> 00:31:04,817
Is there more than one Bill,
is there more than one you?
587
00:31:04,817 --> 00:31:06,200
Sounds nuts right?
588
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,454
Incredibly, physicists believe that these
589
00:31:09,454 --> 00:31:12,850
identical copies of ourselves might exist.
590
00:31:12,850 --> 00:31:15,697
Now i don't really understand
how this is possible,
591
00:31:15,697 --> 00:31:20,702
but if the eggheads say the
math works who am I to argue?
592
00:31:22,531 --> 00:31:24,808
- [Voiceover] Do identical
copies of each and every
593
00:31:24,808 --> 00:31:28,551
one of us exist in parallel worlds?
594
00:31:28,551 --> 00:31:32,760
Could we even enter those
alternate realities?
595
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,787
Bruce Goldberg believes the
possibilities are staggering.
596
00:31:36,787 --> 00:31:38,211
- Let's say you have
certain aspects of your life
597
00:31:38,211 --> 00:31:40,712
right now that you cannot change.
598
00:31:40,712 --> 00:31:42,542
Maybe you have an incurable disease,
599
00:31:42,542 --> 00:31:45,634
maybe you have a criminal
record, maybe you've lost an arm.
600
00:31:45,634 --> 00:31:50,026
Well, in a parallel
universe, that didn't exist.
601
00:31:50,026 --> 00:31:51,389
So instead of committing suicide,
602
00:31:51,389 --> 00:31:53,261
or just going through
life being depressed,
603
00:31:53,261 --> 00:31:55,904
you can actually switch universes,
604
00:31:55,904 --> 00:31:59,612
and, in fact, have a much better life.
605
00:32:03,876 --> 00:32:05,179
- [Voiceover] But if it really is possible
606
00:32:05,179 --> 00:32:08,818
to leap into a parallel world,
607
00:32:08,818 --> 00:32:10,710
why isn't everyone doing it?
608
00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:13,151
- Teleportation is hardly predictable.
609
00:32:13,151 --> 00:32:14,329
You can do this a thousand times
610
00:32:14,329 --> 00:32:15,854
that you may get one or two examples.
611
00:32:15,854 --> 00:32:17,482
But future technology will be such
612
00:32:17,482 --> 00:32:20,918
that teleportation will
be established by machines
613
00:32:20,918 --> 00:32:22,424
so people can control it and do it
614
00:32:22,424 --> 00:32:25,393
with regularity and predictability.
615
00:32:25,393 --> 00:32:29,075
- [Voiceover] Could such
technology already exist?
616
00:32:29,075 --> 00:32:33,636
Could Frank Basiago's
dream still be alive?
617
00:32:33,934 --> 00:32:36,051
- I don't doubt there is some technology
618
00:32:36,051 --> 00:32:37,576
that can exist today or that somebody
619
00:32:37,576 --> 00:32:40,973
could enter into this like
a vortex and they can be
620
00:32:40,973 --> 00:32:44,619
teleported from one place to another.
621
00:32:44,653 --> 00:32:47,974
- [Voiceover] Do we all
exist in other dimensions?
622
00:32:48,436 --> 00:32:50,551
Do we posses machines that can
623
00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:53,729
teleport us from one world to another?
624
00:32:54,070 --> 00:32:57,838
Could Scotty really beam us up after all?
625
00:32:59,052 --> 00:33:02,414
Weird or what?
626
00:33:03,667 --> 00:33:08,672
(dramatic music)
627
00:33:17,294 --> 00:33:19,471
- [Voiceover] In Mexico an explorer finds
628
00:33:19,471 --> 00:33:23,320
a strange skull made of pure crystal.
629
00:33:23,862 --> 00:33:27,104
Is it a gateway to another world?
630
00:33:27,422 --> 00:33:29,523
(beeping)
631
00:33:29,719 --> 00:33:31,693
You know I love exploring.
632
00:33:31,693 --> 00:33:33,767
There's nothing better than getting out
633
00:33:33,767 --> 00:33:38,772
and seeing what you can find
amongst the wilds of nature.
634
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:40,023
(beeping)
635
00:33:40,023 --> 00:33:41,333
Uh oh you hear that!? You hear that?!
636
00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:46,200
Sometimes you can find treasures
beyond the imagination.
637
00:33:48,451 --> 00:33:52,849
But sometimes you find things
you wanna keep very secret.
638
00:33:53,535 --> 00:33:56,505
- [Voiceover] In 1924, British adventurer
639
00:33:56,505 --> 00:33:58,376
Frederick Mitchell-Hedges
640
00:33:58,376 --> 00:34:00,085
went in search of Mayan treasures
641
00:34:00,085 --> 00:34:04,422
in the tiny country of
Belize in Central America.
642
00:34:04,904 --> 00:34:07,345
What he discovered is regarded by some
643
00:34:07,345 --> 00:34:11,718
as the most important
archaeological relic ever found.
644
00:34:12,429 --> 00:34:17,434
A perfectly formed human
skull made from crystal.
645
00:34:19,527 --> 00:34:21,540
Carved with flawless precision this
646
00:34:21,540 --> 00:34:25,492
2,000 year old artifact
baffled scientists.
647
00:34:25,790 --> 00:34:27,926
Many believe the
technology that created it
648
00:34:27,926 --> 00:34:31,491
couldn't have existed in
ancient or even modern times.
649
00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:36,026
So what was it, and
where did it come from?
650
00:34:38,319 --> 00:34:42,386
Remarkably, the answer could
lie in an ancient Mayan legend
651
00:34:42,386 --> 00:34:46,899
that speaks of not one,
but 13 crystal skulls
652
00:34:46,899 --> 00:34:49,896
that have extraordinary powers.
653
00:34:51,122 --> 00:34:54,959
It's a legend that could be based in fact.
654
00:34:59,469 --> 00:35:03,963
In 1994, amateur
archaeologist Nick Nocerino
655
00:35:03,963 --> 00:35:07,665
found another perfect life-size skull,
656
00:35:07,665 --> 00:35:12,654
impeccably carved in clear
crystal in Guererro, Mexico.
657
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:22,125
Kirby Seid is a crystal
and mineral expert.
658
00:35:22,125 --> 00:35:26,748
In 1995, the Guererro
skull came into his care.
659
00:35:27,574 --> 00:35:32,579
As he began to study it
something weird happened.
660
00:35:34,083 --> 00:35:38,375
- And it began to show me
pictures of past lives.
661
00:35:38,375 --> 00:35:41,202
It showed me images of possible futures
662
00:35:41,202 --> 00:35:43,438
that I could try to achieve for.
663
00:35:43,438 --> 00:35:46,142
And those pictures turned into visions,
664
00:35:46,142 --> 00:35:48,178
those visions I see people moving,
665
00:35:48,178 --> 00:35:51,187
I see objects moving, there's
motion in those visions.
666
00:35:51,187 --> 00:35:52,286
And suddenly I feel like I've
667
00:35:52,286 --> 00:35:55,090
popped into that particular reality.
668
00:35:55,090 --> 00:35:58,636
I feel like I'm merging
my energy with its energy.
669
00:35:58,752 --> 00:36:00,177
- [Voiceover] But Kirby
believes this skull
670
00:36:00,177 --> 00:36:02,190
has many other powers.
671
00:36:02,190 --> 00:36:04,162
The greatest of all is the ability
672
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:07,707
to open doors to another world.
673
00:36:08,901 --> 00:36:11,097
- Crystal skulls are holographic.
674
00:36:11,097 --> 00:36:13,538
They contain all the
points of time and space.
675
00:36:13,538 --> 00:36:15,286
We know in modern physics theory,
676
00:36:15,286 --> 00:36:18,399
in string theory, that there
are at least 11 dimensions.
677
00:36:18,399 --> 00:36:22,594
Skulls are portals to other
dimensions and parallel worlds.
678
00:36:24,052 --> 00:36:26,838
- [Voiceover] Do crystal
skulls posses strange powers
679
00:36:26,838 --> 00:36:30,729
that could take us to other dimensions?
680
00:36:30,743 --> 00:36:34,715
Or is there another
answer to this mystery?
681
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,539
- Well to my mind there's not really
682
00:36:36,539 --> 00:36:39,312
a mystery surrounding them.
683
00:36:39,366 --> 00:36:42,132
- [Voiceover] A man believes
an ancient crystal skull
684
00:36:42,132 --> 00:36:45,020
can communicate with parallel worlds.
685
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:47,908
Do these strange mysterious objects
686
00:36:47,908 --> 00:36:51,467
have powers beyond our comprehension?
687
00:36:51,467 --> 00:36:53,256
- Well to my mind there's not really
688
00:36:53,256 --> 00:36:55,594
a mystery surrounding them.
689
00:36:55,594 --> 00:36:57,223
- [Voiceover] Jane Walsh
is an anthropologist
690
00:36:57,223 --> 00:37:00,130
at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC.
691
00:37:00,130 --> 00:37:02,612
She believes crystal skulls aren't
692
00:37:02,612 --> 00:37:05,953
quite as magical as they seem.
693
00:37:06,028 --> 00:37:09,344
- I've essentially concluded that none
694
00:37:09,344 --> 00:37:12,536
of the skulls I have looked at have really
695
00:37:12,536 --> 00:37:16,175
anything to do with pre-Columbian Mexico.
696
00:37:16,175 --> 00:37:21,180
Mostly they were marketed to deceive.
697
00:37:25,003 --> 00:37:27,179
- [Voiceover] Jane has
examined nine crystal skulls,
698
00:37:27,179 --> 00:37:30,683
including the one discovered
by Mitchell-Hedges.
699
00:37:31,450 --> 00:37:32,894
Due to the nature of the crystal
700
00:37:32,894 --> 00:37:36,947
it's not possible to determine
when the skulls were made.
701
00:37:37,673 --> 00:37:39,015
But Jane believes there's another
702
00:37:39,015 --> 00:37:42,249
way to unearth the skull's secrets.
703
00:37:42,249 --> 00:37:47,254
Using liquid silicon she can
find out how they were made.
704
00:37:48,269 --> 00:37:50,648
- The silicon sort of flows in
705
00:37:50,648 --> 00:37:54,863
nicely to all of the crevices.
706
00:37:56,363 --> 00:38:01,127
Make sure it's going into
all of the carved areas.
707
00:38:02,607 --> 00:38:04,824
- [Voiceover] Once the silicon is dry
708
00:38:04,824 --> 00:38:07,346
Jane has a highly accurate mold
709
00:38:07,346 --> 00:38:10,504
of the markings on the skull surface.
710
00:38:11,799 --> 00:38:14,016
Using an electron microscope these can
711
00:38:14,016 --> 00:38:16,823
be magnified over 10 million times.
712
00:38:16,823 --> 00:38:18,958
- As those electrons strike
the surface of the sample
713
00:38:18,958 --> 00:38:20,178
we're gonna generate a signal.
714
00:38:20,178 --> 00:38:23,167
We'll get a topographical image
of the surface of the sample.
715
00:38:23,167 --> 00:38:25,324
And we get great spatial resolution,
716
00:38:25,324 --> 00:38:27,927
we see very good detail,
we can see a lot of things
717
00:38:27,927 --> 00:38:30,652
that we wouldn't be able to see otherwise.
718
00:38:30,652 --> 00:38:33,520
- [Voiceover] One thing in
particular was remarkable.
719
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,570
Evidence that the perfect crystal skulls
720
00:38:36,570 --> 00:38:40,603
weren't quite as perfect as they seemed.
721
00:38:40,699 --> 00:38:45,704
- What you're seeing there is the
edge of a rotary disc cutting tool.
722
00:38:46,536 --> 00:38:48,427
- If you imagine some guy
sitting here doing this,
723
00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:50,054
trying to drill this little hole,
724
00:38:50,054 --> 00:38:52,860
we're not gonna have this little path.
725
00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:57,172
That cuts, you can follow
it all the way around.
726
00:38:57,518 --> 00:39:00,039
- [Voiceover] Jane's analysis is damning.
727
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:02,235
She believes whoever made the skulls
728
00:39:02,235 --> 00:39:05,943
had access to modern power tools.
729
00:39:08,459 --> 00:39:11,082
- We know the sorts of
tools that were used
730
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:15,394
by pre-Columbian lapidaries which was
731
00:39:15,394 --> 00:39:20,179
essentially a stone age toolkit.
732
00:39:20,418 --> 00:39:25,423
They probably used
copper with abrasive sand
733
00:39:26,071 --> 00:39:28,246
perhaps in drilling and cutting
734
00:39:28,246 --> 00:39:33,251
but essentially they used
stone to carve stone.
735
00:39:35,792 --> 00:39:40,797
So looking at some of the
skulls it's very apparent
736
00:39:42,076 --> 00:39:47,081
that hard metal with permanently adhered
737
00:39:48,157 --> 00:39:51,227
diamond abrasives were used to cut them.
738
00:39:51,227 --> 00:39:53,018
So with the Mitchell-Hedges skull
739
00:39:53,018 --> 00:39:56,456
we were able to find some
of the initial carving
740
00:39:56,456 --> 00:40:00,643
that was done by very tiny high speed
741
00:40:00,643 --> 00:40:03,581
dentist type drills.
742
00:40:03,581 --> 00:40:06,460
That's simply not a tool that any Mayan
743
00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:09,781
or Aztec would have had.
744
00:40:11,829 --> 00:40:13,517
- [Voiceover] So, if the skulls are not
745
00:40:13,517 --> 00:40:18,522
ancient Mayan or Aztec,
when were they carved?
746
00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:22,018
- They probably are about as old
747
00:40:22,018 --> 00:40:23,950
as when they first appeared.
748
00:40:23,950 --> 00:40:26,879
It's certainly true of this skull.
749
00:40:26,879 --> 00:40:30,519
We know it was purchased in 1960 in Mexico
750
00:40:30,519 --> 00:40:35,419
and it was polished and
carved with an abrasive
751
00:40:35,419 --> 00:40:39,448
that wasn't available
until after World War II.
752
00:40:39,448 --> 00:40:43,643
So probably it was made in the 1950s.
753
00:40:45,284 --> 00:40:47,317
The British Museum skull was probably
754
00:40:47,317 --> 00:40:50,265
made not too long before it was,
755
00:40:50,265 --> 00:40:52,931
before it first appeared
on the art market,
756
00:40:52,931 --> 00:40:56,310
which was the early 1880s.
757
00:40:56,310 --> 00:41:01,315
All of them were created by
using quite modern tools.
758
00:41:03,266 --> 00:41:05,035
- [Voiceover] Are the crystal skulls
759
00:41:05,035 --> 00:41:07,537
simply an elaborate hoax?
760
00:41:07,537 --> 00:41:10,343
Does the harsh light of Jane's microscope
761
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:11,808
mean we should dismiss those
762
00:41:11,808 --> 00:41:14,960
who believe they have mystical powers?
763
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,031
- I would love it if
someone would excavate one,
764
00:41:18,031 --> 00:41:22,206
a recognized archaeologist,
but I'm not holding my breath.
765
00:41:24,091 --> 00:41:27,121
- [Voiceover] Is the legend
of 13 all powerful crystal
766
00:41:27,121 --> 00:41:30,762
skulls nothing more than fanciful bunkum?
767
00:41:30,762 --> 00:41:34,300
Or do they have powers
beyond the comprehension?
768
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:36,679
Could Kirby Said be right,
769
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:40,387
are they gateways to other dimensions?
770
00:41:45,629 --> 00:41:48,828
- [Voiceover] Joshua
Shapiro is an explorer.
771
00:41:49,472 --> 00:41:51,119
He not only believes crystal skulls
772
00:41:51,119 --> 00:41:53,499
can connect us to other worlds,
773
00:41:53,499 --> 00:41:57,471
but they were given to us
by beings who live in them.
774
00:41:58,055 --> 00:42:00,413
- What I believe is the
connection between the
775
00:42:00,413 --> 00:42:04,648
crystal skulls and let's say
other intelligences which may
776
00:42:04,648 --> 00:42:09,517
come from parallel worlds
or other dimensions.
777
00:42:11,037 --> 00:42:15,369
These beings, I believe,
brought the crystal skulls
778
00:42:15,369 --> 00:42:19,829
in physical form to humanity
a very long time ago.
779
00:42:20,209 --> 00:42:23,564
They brought them as
tools to help us to grow
780
00:42:23,564 --> 00:42:26,107
and to understand who we really are,
781
00:42:26,107 --> 00:42:30,316
which I believe is divine, divine souls.
782
00:42:30,316 --> 00:42:32,900
I believe all of us are divine beings.
783
00:42:32,900 --> 00:42:36,255
But when we incarnate as a human being
784
00:42:36,255 --> 00:42:38,818
we forget the essence of who we are,
785
00:42:38,818 --> 00:42:41,543
so these parallel worlds are trying
786
00:42:41,543 --> 00:42:43,515
to help us to remember this.
787
00:42:43,515 --> 00:42:45,794
And what they will do occasionally,
788
00:42:45,794 --> 00:42:47,440
at different points in history,
789
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,885
and again, this is my theory and I think
790
00:42:48,885 --> 00:42:50,247
there are other people involved
791
00:42:50,247 --> 00:42:52,648
in the crystal skulls who believe this,
792
00:42:52,648 --> 00:42:55,311
is that they bring tools that
793
00:42:55,311 --> 00:42:58,633
act as a catalyst to awaken us.
794
00:42:59,888 --> 00:43:01,901
- [Voiceover] Did crystal skulls arrive
795
00:43:01,901 --> 00:43:04,870
from parallel worlds in ancient times,
796
00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:08,388
and if so, how do these
other dimensional beings
797
00:43:08,388 --> 00:43:12,393
use them as doorways
to connect with humans?
798
00:43:12,393 --> 00:43:16,936
Shapiro thinks it all comes
down to what they're made of.
799
00:43:17,479 --> 00:43:21,791
- The crystal skulls act as
portals or dimensional doors.
800
00:43:21,791 --> 00:43:25,655
Because quartz crystal
has the ability to exist
801
00:43:25,655 --> 00:43:29,294
in many different
dimensions simultaneously.
802
00:43:29,294 --> 00:43:32,385
It's the property of the material itself,
803
00:43:32,385 --> 00:43:35,151
it just lends itself
to working with energy
804
00:43:35,151 --> 00:43:37,897
on different vibrational frequencies.
805
00:43:37,897 --> 00:43:41,117
So that's why it's a perfect conduit.
806
00:43:43,755 --> 00:43:44,893
- [Voiceover] Quartz crystal vibrating
807
00:43:44,893 --> 00:43:47,475
frequencies across multiple dimensions.
808
00:43:47,475 --> 00:43:49,475
Crazy talk right?
809
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:54,980
Well, in fact, crystals have been used in
810
00:43:54,980 --> 00:43:59,495
communication devices, like
radios, for nearly a century.
811
00:43:59,495 --> 00:44:02,384
They can be tuned to vibrate
at specific frequencies
812
00:44:02,384 --> 00:44:05,515
which allows them to tune in broadcasts.
813
00:44:05,515 --> 00:44:08,504
So maybe a crystal skull could be
814
00:44:08,504 --> 00:44:12,654
an inter-dimensional telephone after all.
815
00:44:12,654 --> 00:44:14,361
- Quartz crystal is one of the most
816
00:44:14,361 --> 00:44:17,432
important materials on the planet.
817
00:44:17,432 --> 00:44:20,276
But to put it into the
shape of a human bone skull,
818
00:44:20,276 --> 00:44:23,428
those two combined make them very special.
819
00:44:23,428 --> 00:44:25,605
So these other intelligences can use
820
00:44:25,605 --> 00:44:28,697
the crystal skull to communicate with us.
821
00:44:28,697 --> 00:44:31,992
- [Voiceover] So are
crystal skulls portals
822
00:44:31,992 --> 00:44:35,584
for messages from other dimensions?
823
00:44:35,584 --> 00:44:40,132
If so what are they trying to convey?
824
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,849
- If I could define in one sentence
825
00:44:43,849 --> 00:44:46,328
what the crystal skulls
are, they are a mirror
826
00:44:46,328 --> 00:44:49,792
and a catalyst to awaken humanity.
827
00:44:50,111 --> 00:44:53,020
If we, as individuals, would just be open
828
00:44:53,020 --> 00:44:57,067
to all the amazing phenomena
that's going on in our world
829
00:44:57,067 --> 00:44:59,528
instead of trying to rationalize it,
830
00:44:59,528 --> 00:45:03,861
I think that our planet would
be at peace much quicker,
831
00:45:03,861 --> 00:45:06,320
and we would learn a lot
more about ourselves,
832
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,228
and we would have
additional assistance coming
833
00:45:09,228 --> 00:45:12,346
that we could not even imagine.
834
00:45:12,930 --> 00:45:14,782
- [Voiceover] Do crystal
skulls have the ability
835
00:45:14,782 --> 00:45:17,302
to create electrical signals that allow us
836
00:45:17,302 --> 00:45:19,946
to interact with other dimensions?
837
00:45:19,946 --> 00:45:24,142
Or are they simply harmless
hunks of polished rock?
838
00:45:25,193 --> 00:45:28,548
Is there any scientific
evidence that gateways
839
00:45:28,548 --> 00:45:31,422
to other worlds even exist at all?
840
00:45:33,186 --> 00:45:34,772
- What an incredible story.
841
00:45:34,772 --> 00:45:38,250
Can this skull generate
vibrations that allow
842
00:45:38,250 --> 00:45:40,772
us to speak to people in parallel worlds?
843
00:45:40,772 --> 00:45:42,256
Can you imagine what we could achieve
844
00:45:42,256 --> 00:45:44,528
if we could harness the power within
845
00:45:44,528 --> 00:45:47,864
this magnificent priceless object?
846
00:45:47,864 --> 00:45:49,945
Ooh!
(crystal smashing)
847
00:45:54,109 --> 00:45:56,881
Can we get another one?
848
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,857
- [Voiceover] A mysterious
crystal skull discovered in
849
00:46:01,857 --> 00:46:06,073
Mexico was believed to be a
doorway to another dimension.
850
00:46:06,331 --> 00:46:08,615
Could this be possible?
851
00:46:10,317 --> 00:46:12,412
Dr. Paul Stevenson studies extreme
852
00:46:12,412 --> 00:46:15,448
physics at the University of Surrey.
853
00:46:16,053 --> 00:46:18,208
He thinks the idea of a portal to
854
00:46:18,208 --> 00:46:21,610
a distant world is quite plausible.
855
00:46:23,068 --> 00:46:24,452
- One possible way we could at least
856
00:46:24,452 --> 00:46:26,439
theoretically think about opening a door
857
00:46:26,439 --> 00:46:28,805
to another world or a
portal to somewhere else
858
00:46:28,805 --> 00:46:31,556
comes from black holes.
859
00:46:31,813 --> 00:46:33,075
- [Voiceover] Astronomers once believed
860
00:46:33,075 --> 00:46:35,007
that everything in a
black hole was crushed
861
00:46:35,007 --> 00:46:39,690
into a single point of infinite
mass called a singularity.
862
00:46:41,576 --> 00:46:46,219
But recently some have
proposed another idea.
863
00:46:46,335 --> 00:46:47,902
- It's conceivable that you would make
864
00:46:47,902 --> 00:46:49,730
some kind of portal from
one part of the universe
865
00:46:49,730 --> 00:46:51,621
to another that you could
actually travel through,
866
00:46:51,621 --> 00:46:52,923
and that would be called a wormhole.
867
00:46:52,923 --> 00:46:55,243
According to Einstein's
theory of relativity
868
00:46:55,243 --> 00:46:57,540
heavy objects will tend to warp space.
869
00:46:57,540 --> 00:46:59,432
And you can kind of think of
that as if space was some kind
870
00:46:59,432 --> 00:47:01,975
of stretched rubber sheet and
you put a very heavy thing
871
00:47:01,975 --> 00:47:04,353
on it's going to make a
depression in the sheet.
872
00:47:04,353 --> 00:47:05,614
And that's something like our sun
873
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:07,160
would make a depression
in this rubber sheet
874
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,889
and you imagine sort
of rolling a ball along
875
00:47:08,889 --> 00:47:10,862
it will sort of have
to bend around the sun
876
00:47:10,862 --> 00:47:13,443
because of the way the
sheet's been depressed.
877
00:47:13,443 --> 00:47:14,482
And that's kind of what happens
878
00:47:14,482 --> 00:47:16,963
say when a comet
slingshots around the sun.
879
00:47:16,963 --> 00:47:18,305
Now in the case of a black hole,
880
00:47:18,305 --> 00:47:20,592
I have a kind of model here to show
881
00:47:20,592 --> 00:47:23,263
the sort of depression
you might get in space.
882
00:47:23,263 --> 00:47:26,908
with something like a black hole or a star
883
00:47:26,908 --> 00:47:28,697
would be in this depression here.
884
00:47:28,697 --> 00:47:30,650
The special thing about a black hole
885
00:47:30,650 --> 00:47:33,476
is that this depression
goes on and on forever.
886
00:47:33,476 --> 00:47:35,388
And if something gets caught in it
887
00:47:35,388 --> 00:47:38,165
it'll just go down and be lost.
888
00:47:38,165 --> 00:47:39,820
Now what happens with a wormhole is
889
00:47:39,820 --> 00:47:42,263
you would end up having two black holes
890
00:47:42,263 --> 00:47:44,314
connected together, something like that.
891
00:47:44,314 --> 00:47:45,840
So you can sort of imagine that if
892
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,466
you fell in one end of the black hole
893
00:47:47,466 --> 00:47:49,176
you could come out the other end.
894
00:47:49,176 --> 00:47:51,922
And so theoretically,
this thing could exist.
895
00:47:51,922 --> 00:47:54,057
We haven't ever seen one
but there's no reason,
896
00:47:54,057 --> 00:47:55,763
based on our understanding of physics,
897
00:47:55,763 --> 00:47:58,537
why something like this couldn't happen.
898
00:47:58,550 --> 00:48:01,376
- [Voiceover] And if we
can create a sort of tunnel
899
00:48:01,376 --> 00:48:03,796
to other parts of our universe,
900
00:48:03,796 --> 00:48:07,707
what does that mean for
parallel dimensions?
901
00:48:08,108 --> 00:48:10,263
- Now it may not be a big leap to suggest
902
00:48:10,263 --> 00:48:11,769
that we could create a
wormhole that connects
903
00:48:11,769 --> 00:48:14,615
us to different dimensions
or a different universe.
904
00:48:14,615 --> 00:48:16,263
- [Voiceover] According
to Paul, in theory,
905
00:48:16,263 --> 00:48:19,809
it's possible to create a
pathway to other worlds.
906
00:48:20,454 --> 00:48:23,383
It's nothing anyone's ever seen before,
907
00:48:23,383 --> 00:48:26,677
so how does he know it could happen?
908
00:48:26,677 --> 00:48:29,993
- They're actually based on
solid physics and solid science.
909
00:48:29,993 --> 00:48:32,229
And we've certainly come across
lots of things in the past
910
00:48:32,229 --> 00:48:35,158
that at first sight seem
to be utterly ridiculous
911
00:48:35,158 --> 00:48:37,986
or completely fantastical and
have turned out to be true.
912
00:48:37,986 --> 00:48:39,794
I don't know whether that's
gonna turn out to be the case
913
00:48:39,794 --> 00:48:41,889
for wormholes, whether we'll ever see one,
914
00:48:41,889 --> 00:48:44,884
but it's certainly not
beyond the bounds of reason.
915
00:48:46,222 --> 00:48:48,093
- [Voiceover] Could we
open cosmic gateways
916
00:48:48,093 --> 00:48:50,478
into parallel worlds?
917
00:48:53,806 --> 00:48:57,515
And communicate with
them with crystal skulls?
918
00:48:57,997 --> 00:49:02,795
Or can we simply teleport our
bodies there whenever we wish?
919
00:49:02,795 --> 00:49:07,765
Are shadow people from other
dimensions already amongst us?
920
00:49:08,409 --> 00:49:12,524
Weird or what?
921
00:49:14,917 --> 00:49:19,905
(dramatic music)
922
00:49:34,462 --> 00:49:36,343
- [Voiceover] So there we have it.
923
00:49:36,343 --> 00:49:40,234
Stories of parallel worlds
from all over the planet.
924
00:49:40,553 --> 00:49:43,441
In New York, a woman has
a terrifying encounter
925
00:49:43,441 --> 00:49:46,374
with a human shaped shadow.
926
00:49:46,374 --> 00:49:49,487
Did it come from another dimension?
927
00:49:53,061 --> 00:49:55,663
In New Jersey, a weird
machine transports a boy
928
00:49:55,663 --> 00:49:59,249
and his father hundreds of
miles in a split second.
929
00:49:59,791 --> 00:50:03,560
Did they teleport to a different world?
930
00:50:05,161 --> 00:50:09,025
And in Mexico, a team
makes an amazing discovery,
931
00:50:09,025 --> 00:50:12,042
a skull made of crystal.
932
00:50:13,255 --> 00:50:17,288
Is it a doorway to a parallel universe?
933
00:50:19,417 --> 00:50:23,857
Are these stories evidence
that parallel worlds exist?
934
00:50:24,136 --> 00:50:28,596
Can we dismiss the claims of
those who believe they are true?
935
00:50:30,278 --> 00:50:32,399
You decide.
936
00:50:32,860 --> 00:50:35,006
- Join me again next time for more stories
937
00:50:35,006 --> 00:50:39,893
that will undoubtedly be weird or what.
938
00:50:45,297 --> 00:50:49,106
