Unsettling Signs of Parallel Universes Hidden in History

Unsettling Signs of Parallel Universes Hidden in History - YouTube

Transcripts:
a new Google chip that might be pulling power from other universes, particles that could be entangled across different realities, and an entire stack of hidden Earths floating just millimeters away, [music] divided by a dimension we can't see. This is more disturbing evidence alternate versions of Earth exist.
[snorts] Last year, Google pulled off something wild with their new quantum chip called Willow. This chip solved a problem in 5 minutes. It would take the supercomputers we have today about 10 septillion years to finish. Hartmoot Nevin the head of Google's quantum AI team called the result astonishing and said it quote lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes.
 So basically the idea is that the chip's crazy speed might be explained if calculations are happening across different versions of reality all at the same time. This ties into the many worlds [music] interpretation proposed by physicist David Douch which says that every possible outcome happens somewhere in a multiverse.
 So in theory, Willow might be tapping into those [music] alternate universes when it solves problems. Unlike regular computers that use zeros and ones, Willow uses quibbits which can hold multiple states at once, letting it handle insanely complex calculations at lightning speed. Imagine you have two specialized coins and you flip them at the exact same time, sending one to New York and keeping the other in London.
The moment you look at the coin in London, though, and see it landed on heads, you instantly know the coin in New York is tails. Even though no signal or message had time to travel between them, they are entangled. They share a connection that scientists call a shared state. We've talked about this many times before on the channel, but now let's take this to [music] a much bigger scale.
 Some physicists wonder if this connection could happen not just across space, but across different realities. Maybe the atoms that make up our Earth are somehow entangled with the atoms of a parallel Earth. See, there are mysteries as to how particles behave sometimes. Now, what if when a tiny particle on our Earth does something unpredictable? Well, it might not be random.
 It could be because it's instantly affecting or being affected by its entangled twin particle in a parallel reality. The unpredictable random little movements we see in the smallest particles of our world could actually be the sign of a constant cause and effect relationship with a parallel Earth. String theory is what physicists come up with when they try to find the ultimate theory of everything.
 They wanted one single set of math that could explain both the super big stuff like planets and stars and the super tiny stuff like atoms. But they ran into a problem. The math for this theory kept falling apart unless they added a ton [music] of extra dimensions. First, let's nail down what we mean by dimensions. We live in a 4D world.
 Three dimensions of space to locate anything. Left, right, up, down, forward, and backward. And one dimension of time to say when an event happened. That's four dimensions we experience. For string theory's equations to work perfectly and make sense, they needed far more than four, though. They needed 10 or 11 dimensions in total.
 Why? Well, it all comes down to gravity. When scientists try to describe gravity on the smallest scales, like inside atoms, things get confusing. They calculate that the force of gravity packed into a single tiny point should be endless. Since we don't see endless forces in the real universe, the math [music] just breaks down.
String theory fixes that by saying everything is made of tiny vibrating little strings that make up everything in the universe. Imagine everything in the universe, your chair, the air, you, well, it's made up of tiny, tiny rubber bands. These rubber bands are so small, you can't see them, and they're wiggling and vibrating.
 Kind of like when you pluck a guitar string. How each rubber band wiggles decides what it actually is. One way it wiggles makes it an electron. Another way makes it a quark. Another way makes it a photon. So on and so on. If the rubber band didn't wiggle, it wouldn't turn into anything. It would just be a useless string.
 The vibration is what gives particles their identity, so to speak. Different vibrations equals different types of particles. That's why string theory calls it strings. [music] Like tiny strings that make everything, but only because they wiggle in that right way. Now, for them to wiggle correctly without breaking the math, they need more space than we can see.
That's where the hidden dimensions come in. Extra directions for the strings to move so all the particles and forces make sense. Next up, we have false vacuum decay. A pretty scary idea. This one is less about how a parallel Earth exists and more about how one could replace ours. So, say you had a ball sitting in a slight dip on a largetable.
 Right now, the ball looks stable and everything seems fine, but it's not in the lowest, safest spot it could actually be. That's what scientists call a false vacuum. Somewhere else on the table is a deeper, [music] bigger hole, the true vacuum. If the ball somehow gets nudged over the edge of its little dip, [music] it will roll into the deeper hole.
 Some scientists think our universe might be like that little dip. Here, atoms are stable. Life exists. Everything is the way it is right now, but it's technically not the most stable state possible. In quantum physics, tiny random fluctuations happen all the time. Usually they don't do anything noticeable, [music] but in theory, one could just be enough to push the universe from the false vacuum into the true [music] vacuum.
 That wouldn't be good for us. If that happens, it would create a bubble where the rules of physics are completely different. That bubble would expand at nearly the speed of light, instantly changing everything inside. Atoms could fall apart, matter could dissolve, and our universe as we know it, Earth included, of course, would be wiped out and [music] replaced by a completely new reality.
 Imagine math isn't just a tool we use to describe the universe, but the math is the universe. That's the core idea proposed by physicist Max Tegmark. Think about how many video games uh can be designed. You can design one where gravity is so strong, one where it's weak, one where the characters can fly, one where they can't, yada yada.
 Every single game is based on a different set of mathematical rules. Techmark suggests that every single possible set of consistent mathematical rules doesn't just describe a universe. It is a universe and that all of these unique equations make up their own alternate universes. Our Earth, the one we live on, is an example of one of these mathematical structures.
 [music] The universe where by where gravity follows a specific formula, light travels at a specific speed. But there could be an infinite number of other Earths and universes with different mathematical rules that are just as real. Now let's talk quantum immortality. Remember the many worlds interpretation. The idea that every time a decision is made, the universe [music] splits into different possibilities.
 Now let's apply that to your life. Imagine you are in a situation with a 50/50 chance of survival, like a very dangerous surgery. The moment the choice is made by the universe, essentially you live or you die, the universe splits into two. One timeline where you survive, wake up, and one where you didn't make it.
 The concept of quantum immortality suggests though that the version of you that is conscious will always find itself in the timeline where you survived. You can never experience your own death because the act of observing yourself dying pushes your consciousness into the branch of reality where you lived. So, in a sense, you survive every single fatal accident, every close call, every life-threatening disease, forever jumping from one parallel Earth to the [music] next, always finding a reality where you lived to see the next moment. A pretty
comforting thought, and I am not responsible for any reckless risks you decide to take with this information in mind. Please don't do that. When astronomers look at super distant galaxies, they notice something weird about their light. It's redshifted. [music] What does that mean? Well, when a light wave leaves a distant galaxy, it's like a tightly coiled spring.
 As that light travels toward us across billions of light years, its waves get stretched [music] out. And when light waves are stretched, they shift toward the red end of the color spectrum. That's red shift. The standard accepted explanation for this is that the entire universe is expanding. As the light travels, the empty space is moving through gets stretched out, which in turn stretches the light waves and makes them appear red.
 But way back, there was a competing idea called tired light. The idea here was that the universe wasn't expanding. Instead, the light was just losing energy on its long journey. Here's why losing energy makes it look red. Light color is directly tied to its energy. Red light has less energy than blue light.
 If light starts its journey as energetic blue light and then slowly loses energy over long distances, it would eventually look like lower energy red light when it finally gets to us. almost like it's getting tired, for lack of a better word. But here's where an alternate universe comes in. What if the light isn't tired from age, but it's actually being drained of its energy by something we can't see? Some think that our visible universe is constantly surrounded by a sea of what's called mirror matter.
 The same stuff that would make up a mirror Earth. This matter doesn't interact with our light or our forces directly, but it could be affecting light as it passes through it, draining its energy. This energy drainwould make the light appear redshifted or tired. When you're watching leaves floating on a pond, there's no wind. The leaves will still drift in different directions by themselves.
 [music] That's what scientists expected galaxies to do. Move around sort of randomly because of stuff nearby pulling on them. Imagine hundreds of those leaves suddenly all start sliding the same way toward the same shore as if something is pulling on them, only there's no current or wind causing it.
 Astronomers have seen this with giant groups of galaxies. Instead of drifting every which way, lots of them are all moving together in one direction. [music] So, what's going on? Well, some scientists think that way beyond the edge of the part of the universe we can see is [music] pulling maybe the edge of another universe. And finally, we have the recursive universe.
The idea that the universe and all its parallel earths is an infinitely repeating pattern. We know that when a very large star dies, its gravity is so intense that it collapses into a black hole. A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, [music] can escape. The recursive universe theory suggests that the matter that collapses into a black hole might not be destroyed.
 Instead, the physics inside the black hole cause it to reexpand and become a new self-contained universe. Think of it almost like a Russian nesting doll. Our entire universe with all its galaxies and planets and our Earth might have been born from a black hole that exists in a parent universe that we can't [music] see.
 And if that's true, then our universe may also be constantly creating new universes inside the black holes it forms. Inside the black hole, the center of our Milky Way galaxy, [music] an infant universe could be forming right now, completely cut off and unaware of its parent, [music] our universe. There's a scientific interpretation of reality that basically says every time something happens, the universe splits.
 One where it did and one where it didn't. Star Trek the Next Generation uh covered this in an episode called parallels. In the science world, though, it's known as the many worlds interpretation, proposed by physicist Hugh Everett in 1957. What he meant was that when a particle could go left or right, it does both, just in different versions of reality.
 We only experience one. If that's true, there could be a version of Earth where every what if in your life actually happened, good or bad. It could be a world where the dinosaurs never went extinct. Another where humans didn't survive the ice age. The idea came from quantum mechanics, where [music] particles behave unpredictably until they're observed.
Everett argued they never actually choose. All possibilities keep existing, [music] just in separate universes. Most scientists don't think we'll ever detect these other worlds because they don't interact with ours. But it's a neat idea to think there [music] might be endless versions of you out there living completely different lives.
 The most frustrating part about the many worlds interpretation is that for the longest time there was no way to test it. It's basically impossible to prove. But over the years some physicists started thinking maybe we [music] could detect tiny effects from other universes. Back in 1995, a researcher named Rainer Plaga suggested that under the right conditions, particles in our universe might be able to pass minuscule amounts of energy to particles in a parallel one.
 Later, other scientists like Howard Weisman, Michael Hall came up with a version of this idea called the many interacting worlds model. The idea is that each universe isn't completely isolated. They might nudge each other just a tiny bit and that could explain some of the weird unpredictable behavior we see in particles which normally looks just random.
 Instead of being completely chaotic, that randomness could actually be the result of other universes subtly affecting ours just enough to leave a faint trace in how particles act. There's also an idea called eternal inflation. So imagine the Big Bang was not a single event, but part of a constant process that keeps creating new bubble universes, each expanding in its own space.
 We just happen to live inside one bubble surrounded by others we can't see. Now, if these bubbles sometimes collide, those impacts could leave marks, sort of like bruises in our own universe. Cosmologists have looked for this using data from satellites that map the cosmic microwave background, which is the faint radiation that was left over from the Big Bang.
 A few weird circular patterns have shown up that some researchers think could be scars, so to speak, from an ancient collision between our bubble and another. Of course, they can't say for sure, but it is a possibility. Back in 2015, a cosmologist named Ranga Ramshari found something while analyzing data from the Plank Telescope, which measures leftoverradiation from the Big Bang.
 He noticed certain areas that were 4,500 times brighter than expected. He suggested cautiously that this could be evidence of another universe [music] overlapping with ours. Kind of like we just talked about bubbles rubbing up on each other and exchanging material. Basically, the energy from that contact could have left behind these glowing marks.
 And it's interesting cuz these bright areas were very specific. Didn't line up with any known galaxies or star clusters. I mean, there could be other explanations, sure, but just think about how cool it would be if what we're actually seeing faint signs of another universe, light bleeding through from somewhere else.
 And that's not all on this topic. Along with oddly bright patches, they've also noticed an oddly cold spot. Scientists have been looking into it for years. [music] They call it, see if you can guess, the cold spot. This one area is significantly colder than [music] the rest and way too large to easily explain. Some researchers think it might be caused by a massive void in space, [music] a region where there are just less galaxies, meaning less radiation.
 But others have floated another idea, one that's a lot more tantalizing. At this cold spot could be another sign of a collision with a parallel universe. The hypothesis is that if two universes brushed against [music] each other early on, that contact could have created a cooler, distorted area we can still spot today. Satellite missions like the Wilkinson microwave andotropy probe and plank both confirm the cold [music] spot does exist, but no one agrees on what actually caused it.
 So, for now, one of the most logical explanations might actually [music] involve another universe, which is pretty cool. When scientists first mapped the faint radiation left over from the Big Bang, they expected it to look like random noise. Every direction of the sky should have been more or less the same because the early universe was supposed to be uniform. But that's not what they found.
There's this odd pattern in the data called the axis of evil. Basically, some of the largest patterns in that radiation map seem to line up in the same direction. And strangely enough, that direction matches the flat plane of our solar system, the same plane our planets [music] orbit on. In theory, that shouldn't happen.
 Our solar system is tiny, and it formed billions of years after the Big Bang, so you wouldn't think it would have any connection to that ancient light. And some scientists have an interesting idea about this, that maybe there's some kind of external force, something beyond what we can see that's shaping the very structure of the universe itself.
 Obviously, no one's proven this yet, but the fact that the pattern even exists, pretty strange. The name axis of evil came from how unnerving the pattern was when it was first discovered, like some invisible hand was tugging the universe in a specific direction. One thing is for certain though. This seems to go against one of the most basic assumptions in cosmology that the universe is the same everywhere.
 And if that's not true, it opens the door to a lot of strange [music] possibilities. There's also an idea in cosmology that if another universe ever collided with ours, it would leave behind a kind of wake. Kind of like a boat cutting through water. The waves that spread out after are the cosmic equivalent of what might happen if two universes [music] brushed against each other during the expansion of the Big Bang.
 Physicists Matthew Klebin, Thomas Levy, and Chris Sigerson have modeled what that wake might look like. They don't think it'd be an explosion or a visible scar. Instead, it would show up as faint discshaped pattern in the cosmic microwave background, maybe even changing the way [music] galaxies formed across space.
 So far, nothing's confirmed, but just the idea alone [music] is exciting, especially when you consider this is a real hypothesis being studied by serious physicists. If they ever find one of those hypothetical wakes, that would be the first measurable sign that our universe may not be alone. One of the strangest ideas out there isn't about another universe exactly, but a kind of copy of our own, one that's invisible to us.
 Some physicists call it the mirror world. This version, every particle we know has a hidden twin, so to speak, made of mirror matter that wouldn't reflect light or react to anything the way normal matter does. The only thing connecting it to us be gravity. It could be a mirror earth orbiting a mirror sun or right now completely undetectable.
This idea actually came up while scientists were trying to explain the Hubble tension. A problem where different methods give slightly different measurements for how fast the universe is expanding. A 2022 paper from scientists at the University of New Mexico proposed if a mirror world exists, its gravity might subtly affect our universe enough to explain thedifferent measurements. That's true.
There could be a whole hidden universe existing right on top of ours without ever bumping into it. We wouldn't be able to see it, but its gravity might still pull on things in our universe, possibly affecting how galaxies move or how space itself is shaped. In Antarctica, a balloon experiment called Anita, which stands for the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna, was designed to detect cosmic rays, high energy particles that hit Earth from space.
 But a few years ago, Anita picked up something that didn't seem to make any sense. It detected ultra high energy particles coming up through the Earth as if they'd passed straight through the planet. Scientists had never seen anything like this before. And when Anita kept picking up the same weird signals, scientists started throwing out some pretty trippy sounding ideas to explain it.
 One was that the particles weren't from our universe at all. That they might have come from a parallel universe, one created at the same time as ours in the Big Bang, but moving in the opposite direction through time. But why would they think time would be moving in the opposite direction here? Well, the idea comes from how the math behind the Big Bang works.
 It's symmetrical, meaning if you flipped it backward in time, the equations would still hold up. Some scientists think it could mean the Big Bang created not one but two universes. Ours, where time moves forward, another where time flows the other way. Their perspective, we'd be the ones going backward.
 Of course, what does this have to do with the odd particles moving up through the Earth, though? Well, Anita's data caught scientists attention because the particles seemed to be moving in a way that just doesn't fit with how things work in our universe. So, a few scientists suggested maybe those particles were actually crossing over, traveling from that universe into ours.
One of the most basic assumptions in cosmology is that the universe looks the same in every direction. That's what scientists call isotropic. But when scientists look closely at the distribution of galaxies and radiation, there are hints that's not perfectly uniform. There's a small but obvious directional tilt.
 The universe seems to be slightly lopsided. [music] A few studies have found something called dipolar modulation, meaning one side of the sky looks just a bit different from the other. That shouldn't happen if the universe expanded evenly after the Big Bang. Some researchers think it might mean we're seeing the effects of something.
 What? We can't say for sure, but it could mean that the part of the universe we can see is not completely isolated. In other words, there might be stuff just outside our observable universe that's massive enough to pull on galaxies inside our area. In 1991, Pam Reynolds was about to go through a terrifying ordeal, brain surgery.
 But at least she'd be put to sleep. Little did she know the experience was about to be far more harrowing than she could have ever imagined. This was going to be a highly risky brain surgery referred to as a standstill operation. Basically, she was going to be clinically dead. Her heart was stopped, her body temperature was lowered, and her brain was going to be unresponsive throughout the entire surgery.
 It was a pretty extreme measure, but it was the only way they were going to have a chance at removing the large aneurysm in her brain. It ended up being a success, though, and Pam fully recovered. But she wasn't out cold like you'd think she would be. Pam described that throughout the surgery, she felt as if she was floating above her body, looking down at the operating room.
 She could see the doctors and nurses working on her. She saw her unresponsive, basically dead body. She even went into detail about the surgical instruments being used, including a unique saw used to open her skull. She also recounted conversations between the medical staff about her veins being too small and in other stuff they talked about it was pretty insane seeing as her eyes had been taped shut, her ears had been plugged with speakers emitting loud clicks to monitor her brain and the fact that she was clinically dead throughout the operation. When Pam later recounted
her experience, the doctors were completely stunned. the accuracy of her descriptions, especially the surgical tools and the conversations that she just had no way of hearing it just left the doctors completely baffled. It's still cited as one of the most convincing cases of outof body experiences. >> Manhodo, an archaeological site in Pakistan, might just be evidence of an ancient nuclear war taking place that somehow this reality has completely overlooked.
 Unusual findings in the area include incredibly high levels of radioactivity in certain layers of soil that have been vitrified, which basically means that they have turned into a glass-like substance due to extreme temperatures, far hotter thanany temperature reached by a simple primitive fire. These findings, paired with ancient texts describing advanced weapons with devastating abilities that could produce immense amounts of light and heat, have led many people to believe that an ancient nuclear battle did in fact take place in the area. But
there is not enough evidence to definitively support that thought process. So many people believe that the battle actually took place in an alternate reality after which the battlegrounds somehow ended up in our own. I mean, it would answer the questions of why the areas surrounding Mahenodaro don't share the same anomalous features, but for now, it's anyone's guess, really.
>> Bold Street in Liverpool is known for its trendy shops and cafes, but it's also become famous for something much stranger. Time slips. Stories of people suddenly finding themselves in a different time period. One of the most famous stories involves a man named Frank. Frank was a retired policeman. And one day in 1996, he decided to meet his wife for a coffee on Bold Street.
 As he walked down the street, he suddenly noticed that everything seemed oddly different. The modern shops had vanished, replaced by oldfashioned storefronts. The people around him were dressed in clothes from the 1950s, and classic cars were parked along the street. Confused and obviously a bit scared, Frank walked into a store called Crips to buy something for his wife.
 As soon as he stepped inside, everything changed back to normal. The shop was a modern clothing store, and the old-fashioned atmosphere was gone. Had he just imagined the whole thing? Another strange story happened to a couple shopping on Bold Street in 2006. They were walking past a bookshop when the woman decided to go inside.
 As she entered, she felt an intense chill and then found herself in an oldfashioned bookstore. The shelves were lined with books that looked like they were straight out of the early 20th century. She quickly left the shop and to her shock found herself back in the present with her husband wondering why she looked so shaken up.
 You'll find a whole bunch of stories like this online and even people writing posts detailing their firsthand experiences. The bold street time slips have become an urban legend in Liverpool. So, what's going on here? Are the stories completely bogus? Or maybe, just maybe, could there really be pockets of this street acting as portals to other periods in time? >> While you might not consider 2006 historic, I guarantee this earthshattering event will go down in history.
 Okay, maybe it's not earthshattering, but it's definitely mind-boggling and in my opinion, clear evidence of the possibility of an alternate reality. In 2006, a man named Derek Amato suffered a severe concussion after hitting his head on the bottom of a shallow swimming pool. The concussion caused Amato to suffer 35% hair loss, as well as a fair amount of memory loss.
 It also caused him to become an incredibly talented composer, despite the fact that he'd never written music and had never practiced an instrument a day in his life, making this the only known case of someone gaining genius level talent after suffering from severe head trauma. Amato said that after the incident, every time he closed his eyes, he would see black and white structures moving from left to right that represented his mind in a fluish continuous stream of musical notation.
 It really makes no sense how this could have happened until, of course, you take into account the possibility of alternate realities. Is it possible that when Amato hit his head, he entered into an alternate reality where at the same time the other him hit his head and they somehow switched places? If that's the case, I have to say I feel pretty bad for the other Aato who probably had a show coming up and now all of a sudden doesn't know a lick of music.
 Tough times. In 1977, Kimberly Clark Sharp was treating a heart attack patient named Maria at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. At one point, Maria flatlined. She was clinically dead. The doctors managed to resuscitate her, though, and she later described having an outof body experience.
 While floating outside her body, she claimed to have seen a tennis shoe on a high ledge outside the hospital. The shoe was described in detail, a blue scuffed up tennis shoe. The story was pretty unbelievable, but all the same, Sharp thought, "Well, what the heck? I'm going to take a look." And sure enough, right in the spot Maria had described, there was a scuffed up blue tennis shoe.
 The level of detail in Maria's account was so precise that it left some wondering if she really had left her body, crossing over into another reality before being brought back down to Earth. All the way up until the 20th century, more specifically 1846, the small island of Romeia, located just off the north coast of the Yucatan, was present on almost all maps.
And then one day, all of a sudden, itdisappeared, as though it had never even existed in the first place. Interest in the island peaked in 2008 after it was pointed out that the island, if it's real, would have no real boundaries or oil rights in the Gulf of Mexico. This prompted a large number of search parties to go out and look for the island, but ultimately each and every one of them were unsuccessful.
 And to this day, the mysterious island has never been found. Some people believe that the island either fell to the sea or perhaps never existed at all. But you and I, we know better. And I think, just maybe, the island did exist. And it still does, only it somehow got bumped to an alternate reality. I mean, it's possible. Anything's possible.
 The case of the missing Canadian Pacific Airlines flight of 1951 is one of the most mysterious missing plane cases in history. On July 21st of 1951, the DC4 aircraft flying from Vancouver to Tokyo with a stopover in Anchorage, Alaska, seemed to vanish into thin air. Everything seemed routine as flight 3505 took off from Vancouver.
 The passengers settled in for their long journey. At about 90 minutes from Anchorage, the flight reported in at the Cape Spencer intersection in British Columbia with an estimated time of arrival in Alaska at midnight. The weather wasn't ideal, though. Heavy rain, icing conditions, and visibility of just 500 ft made for a rather treacherous journey.
 But nothing seemed out of the ordinary until the radio went silent. As the clock struck midnight and there was no sign of the plane, an emergency warning was issued. The United States Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force launched a search operation and for weeks they hunted for the plane and any signs of its 37 occupants, but it was as if it had just vanished into thin air.
 The search continued until October 31st of 1951 before it was finally called off. No wreckage, no bodies, no clues. Oftent times I lay awake at night and let my mind wander. Strangely enough, more than a few times that wondering has led me to questioning just why the heck we haven't found Cleopatra's tomb. I mean, according to some archaeologists and historians, we're close.
 But we've been close for years and still no cigar. It doesn't make any sense because according to ancient Egyptian texts, Cleopatra was to be buried alongside her lover Mark Anthony. Furthermore, she was to be buried in a splendid and regal fashion. So why hasn't her final resting place been found? Surely as one of the most prominent members of Egyptian society, she would have been buried in one of the great pyramids. No.
 So either we're missing a pyramid because we haven't found it yet or because it no longer exists in this reality. Because the grave site of Cleopatra really doesn't seem like something the ancient Egyptians would have wanted anyone to miss. And it's quite literally written into their ancient text that she was buried in Alexandria and said burial was incredibly grand.
 There is of course another theory and that is that Cleopatra's tomb and the other missing tombs have since their creation sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea due to a devastating tsunami that washed over Egypt back in 365 AD. Which one do you think it is? >> The Witchcraft. One of the many ships swallowed up by the Bermuda Triangle.
 On December 22nd of 1967, the Witchcraft, a 23- ft luxury cabin cruiser, vanished without a trace off the coast of Miami. The ship was owned and captained by Dan Burack and was known for its state-of-the-art features. It had a high-tech radio and was apparently built to be unsinkable. But we all know what happens to ships that claim to be unsinkable, don't we? On the evening of its disappearance, Bureack and his friend, Father Patrick Han, set out for what was going to be a short cruise along the Miami coastline. Around 9:00
p.m., Barack radioed the United States Coast Guard to report that the witchcraft had hit something and was starting to take on water. The Coast Guard immediately dispatched a search and rescue operation, and they arrived really soon. It was just 15 minutes after having received the distress call, but the boat was gone.
 Not even a small sign of wreckage. The search for the missing vessel continued for several days, but it was never [music] found. In May of 1957, two sisters, Joanna and Jacqueline, died after being hit by a reckless driver. It was later discovered that the driver who had been under the influence had actually killed them purposefully after having her own daughters taken away from her by force.
But that's not really the point of the story. The point is that Joanna and Jacine's parents were heartbroken and they wanted to do whatever they could to bring their daughters back. And somehow on October 4th of 1958, it seems as though they did. Mrs. Pock gave birth to twin sisters, Jennifer and Jillian, who shared eerily similar traits to both Joanna and Jacqueline.
 In fact, as they aged, Jennifer even developed a birthmark that looked exactly like the one Jacquine had on her left hip. And on her forehead, she had a birthmark that matched a small scar Jacquine had in the exact same location. Furthermore, although the twins grew up in an entirely different town than Joanna and Jacqueline, they both were called living in Hexom, where the original Plock sisters had grown up.
 They could describe in great detail places they had never been before, but that Joanna and Jacqueline had. I'm not sure whether or not this proves alternate realities, but it seems as though something in the universe was not going to stand for a reality in which Joanna and Jacqueline truly ceased to exist. >> The North settled in Greenland around the 10th century, creating a colony that lasted for about 500 years.
 But then in the late 15th century, they vanished. Now, it's not like it was uncommon for people to relocate back then, but what was strange about this was that they'd left behind a lot of their supplies and belongings. It was like they just evaporated. Historians and archaeologists still haven't come up with a clear answer.
 But there are theories. One is that environmental changes made life too hard for them, forcing the settlers to leave. Another is that local Inuit may have raided the colony, killing or capturing the settlers. But there weren't any clear signs of an attack. Everything had been left in a pretty tidy manner. If they knew it had raided the colony, there would have been signs of a struggle.
 But the the site had been found neat and intact. There's also the theory that a plague in the late 15th century, which hit Iceland and Norway, left many farms empty, meaning the Greenland settlers might have returned to Europe to claim the abandoned land. But that doesn't make much sense either. I mean, the Vikings back home would have known that these guys had returned.
 There wouldn't be much of a mystery, would there? This is a very strange case. Sakai Huan is an impressive Incan fort built in the 1400s just outside Cusco, Peru. The fort is famous for its massive stone walls made from stones that each weigh around 100 to 120 tons. What's even more amazing, though, is how these stones fit together, which is perfectly.
 They also had these smooth finishes, almost like they were melted and then hardened again in a giant kiln. But back then, there was no way they could have had a kiln big enough to do something like that. Researchers have been trying to figure out how the Incas managed to mold these stones for years.
 Some think they might have used mirrors or glass to focus sunlight and heat the stones until they were soft enough to fit together, but there's no evidence of a method like that having been used. Others have theorized that the stones may have been rough at first and then natural fires partially melted them together, but tests have shown that regular fires don't really get hot enough to melt the stone. Here's a theory for you.
 Maybe the Incas had some kind of a deal with a race of stone carving aliens, but I had to do it. In Jordan and Syria, there are mysterious stone circles spread across the desert plains. Some of these circles are huge. The smallest is about 720 ft wide, and the largest is more than 1,450 ft across.
 They're all between 3 and 5t high, and none of them have any openings or entrances, which is strange because if they'd been used to, say, house animals, you'd think there'd be doors or gates. By that same token, they don't really seem to have been used as burial sites either. The circles are incredibly wellformed, though, almost perfectly round, which is surprising given how old they are.
 Archaeologists think they were built between 4,500 BC and 2,000 BC, a span of about 2500 years, which really doesn't narrow down their purpose much. Researchers believe there were once even more of these strange stone circles, but many have been destroyed as new towns and settlements were built. Scientists are still trying to figure out why they were used and who built them.
 There's also a strange circle of stones in Miami. In 1998, while preparing to build new condos in South Beach, developers came across something they'd never seen before. As they were tearing down old buildings and digging deep into the ground, they discovered a circle of 24 large holes, each filled with heavy limestone tablets.
 This discovery was so unusual that they had to call in archaeologists to investigate. The archaeologists found that these stones were arranged in a perfect circle about 38 ft across. They also uncovered other ancient items like animal bones, shark teeth, and old axe heads made of bassalt rock. After studying the area, the experts estimated that the Miami Circle was about 2,000 years old.
 The circle is believed to have been created by the Teesta people, a tribe that lived in the region until the early 18th century. The Teesta were known to be nomadic. Today, the Miami Circle sits right in the middle of the city. Researchers arestill studying the site and the artifacts, but the purpose of the circle and even a lot about the Tequesta themselves, it's still a mystery.
 All right, this story is one of the wildest and most mysterious tales from World War II. So, in October of 1943 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, the Navy was working on a top secret project to make ships invisible to enemy radar. The ship at the center of all this was the USS Eldridge.
 The story goes that they were using some kind of high techch equipment involving powerful electromagnetic fields. When they turned on this equipment, something bizarre happened. The ship disappeared. Not just off radar, but physically vanished from sight. Some say it was teleported to Norfolk, Virginia, and then brought back to Philadelphia in just a few minutes.
But the strangest part is what happened to the crew. When the ship reappeared, some sailors had been fused into the ship's metal. while others had gone missing entirely. The tale first came about in 1955 when a man named Carl Allen who claimed to be a witness sent a series of letters to a US Navy research organization and a UFO researcher.
 Of course, the Navy denies that the experiment ever took place and the letters are often chocked up to a very creative hoax. But there is a small chance something really did happen that day. I mean, hey, who knows? None of us were there. The story of John Zaggress is often referenced as one of the eeriest examples of an alternate reality crossing over into our own, at least in some versions of the story.
 Anyway, yeah, this one falls into the realm of urban legends, but it is a pretty great story all the same. The story goes that in 1954 at Tokyo's Haneda airport, a man handed over his passport, leaving the officials in utter confusion. His passport was from a country called Torid. If you're wondering what Torid is, well, it doesn't exist.
 They looked at the man and he seemed completely normal. He was well-dressed and polite, but he insisted that Torid was a real country located between France and Spain. And he was shocked when the officials told him that that place just didn't exist. The man had other documents, too, like a driver's license and bank statements, all from this place called Torid.
 His passport even had stamps showing he had traveled to other countries before. The officials were just completely baffled. They checked maps and globes and they were like, "Are we just crazy?" But no, there was no torid. They put him in a nearby hotel while they investigated further and they posted guards outside his room just to make sure he didn't leave.
 But when they went in to check on him the next morning, he disappeared. The room was on a high floor, no balcony, and the guards swore they didn't see or hear anything strange during the night. His documents also disappeared, leaving no trace of the mysterious man from Torid. No one could figure out where he came from or where he went.
 So, where does John Zegris come into the picture? Well, there is a documented case of a foreign man being detained in Japan for identity fraud, but it's never been 100% verified if John Zegris's story spawned the legend of the torid man or if his case was completely unrelated. All right, y'all know I love my cryptids and uh these just might be the coolest cryptids I've ever heard of. Neody dinosaurs.
 I'd never heard about these till fairly recently. These are exactly what they sound like, sightings of dinosaurs in modern times. And yes, there have been multiple sightings of these things in the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The most common type of neodyinosaur reported in the Amazon. It's a large long necked amphibious animal that looks a lot like a sorropod.
Then there are ones that look like iguanadons and less frequently bipeedal reptiles similar to allosaurus. There have been tracks discovered that look like dinosaur type footprints and actual sightings of the creatures themselves. If you can believe it, which most of you I'm sure can't, fair play.
 One of the famous tales of these creatures comes from the British archaeologist and explorer Percy Faucet. That's the guy who claimed to have found the lost city of Z. He claimed to have found these three toaded tracks in the forests of Brazil. And a friend of Faucet claimed to have seen a large long necked reptile near the Brazil Bolivia border.
 There were also reports of an iguanadonlike creature in Colombia in 1921. And a Brazilian named Alvaro Mosquita reported encountering a camptosaurel like animal on the shore of a swampy lake between the Purus River and the Dwarro River. And even as recently as 1995, geology students in Brazil's Sora Mountains reported seeing two large creatures about 30 ft long with 8ft necks and tails bathing in a river. Very bizarre.
And I can understand why some people may not believe this. I just think it's a really cool idea. One of the most inspiring and welldocumented UFO sightings came in 1997. It was March13th in Arizona. A clear starry nights. People were just going about their usual business when out of nowhere, strange lights started to appear in the sky.
 And no, they were not stars. First, there was this V-shaped formation of five lights slowly gliding across the state. The lights were first spotted in the town of Henderson, Nevada around 7:55 p.m. And from there, they made their way to Arizona, passing over Prescott, and heading towards Phoenix. As the lights moved, more and more people saw them.
Hundreds, maybe even thousands, looked up and saw this weird, silent, glowing formation. Some folks described it as a massive solid object blocking out the stars as it passed. The police were flooded with reports. Phone lines were lighting up in news and radio stations. And the odd V-shaped craft wasn't the only one reported.
 A police officer in Paulen, Arizona would report seeing a cluster of orange colored lights. And later around 10 p.m., there were a number of reports in the Phoenix area of a row of brilliant lights hovering in the sky or slowly falling. Later came out that the Air National Guard had been carrying out test flights that night, but people were skeptical.
 Until this day, people still don't buy the official explanation. As for why that is, well, we could do a whole video on this case, but essentially, the military said one of the light formations was a plane and the other sets of lights were flares, and it just didn't look like that. The story of the Orang Madan is one of the creepiest and most mysterious sea tales out there.
 It all started in 1947 when a distress call came in from a Dutch freighter named the SS Orang Madan. The message, "All officers, including the captain, are dead." Lying in chart room and bridge, possibly whole crew dead. Then there was some garbled Morris code, followed by the final words, "I die," which has always creeped me out.
 Rescue ships were quickly sent to check things out. When they boarded the ship though, they found that the entire crew was indeed dead. Their bodies were scattered around the ship. Their faces were frozen in expressions of pure terror, and their arms were reaching out like they'd been trying to fight something off.
 There were no signs of physical injuries, though. The rescuers didn't have much time to figure things out either. Shortly after they arrived, a fire broke out in the ship's cargo hold. They had to abandon the vessel, which then exploded, sinking into the depths of the ocean. And another one of the most mysterious maritime tales in history is of course the case of the Mary Celeste.
On December 4th of 1872, a ship called the Mary Celeste was found floating in the Atlantic Ocean was found completely empty of people. Anyway, all the cargo, the food supplies, and the crews belongings, they were all still in place. All that was missing was a single lifeboat. The Mary Celeste had left New York about a month earlier, led by Captain Benjamin Briggs.
 He was traveling with his wife, his young daughter, and seven crew. The ship was headed for Italy. Now, everything seemed normal during the journey, and that's because we have the log entries. The last entry in the log book, too, was just a regular note about the ship's position and weather. There were no clues in these logs about any sign of trouble.
 There was no sign of a struggle or any kind of damage to the ship. It looked like everyone had just calmly left in the lifeboat. But why? The weather was fine. The ship was in good shape. It was unlikely that pirates had attacked either because again nothing had been stolen and there were no signs of violence. To this day, nobody knows what happened to Captain Briggs, his family, or the crew.
>> Starting off number 10 are dreams. I'm pretty sure everyone in life has wondered what their dreams meant. Anytime I dream of anything traumatic, I always Google it and I'm like, "Oh my god, I'm about to start a new chapter of my life or one's about to end. What do I do?" Either way, dream travel is a theory that our dreams show glimpses of alternate universes or realities that are beyond ours.
 In a multiverse where there are endless versions of you and your life, and they've all branched off and have lived different lives, if you're having a really vivid dream to the point it's so lifelike, you feel like you're really there. It's possible we're tapping into the experiences and memories of an alternate us. Say if you keep dreaming about living in a different country or having a different job or eating something so detailed you can smell it and taste it.
 It's been theorized it's because you've probably already experienced those things in another timeline and our sleeping mind somehow lets us access it. Physicists have theorized since our conscious minds as barriers are down during sleep, it allows our subconscious mind to go into the windows between realities and contact the consciousness of our other selves.
 This suggests that maybe oursubconscious mind operates in our own reality and the others all at the same time. Another theory is that despite only seeing one course of events for each action or decision we make, we still imagine what would have happened if we did or chose differently. So based on that, our dreams could be showing us how all those other decisions would have played out if our other selves made them.
 That was a lot to digest, I know, and there's a lot more to come. Coming in at number nine is missing time. So, I feel like a lot of people will be able to identify with this feeling or experience and yet not know it could very well be evidence of an alternate reality. So, this is a story of John Carlson. In the late '7s, John was in high school and his house was about a 1.5 mile walk from his school.
 He walked there and back every day and it was a pretty straightforward route that he knew very well. One day, he was walking home and he saw a bunch of guys that usually bullied him and he took a different route. Again, even this other route he knew very, very well. He'd also taken it before, so it wasn't anything new.
 But on the walk, things just seemed off. Despite school just ending, it was eerily quiet, and he felt like things just weren't real. As he was approaching an intersection, he saw the stores he usually saw there, but the silence persisted. He realized even though he was walking towards the intersection, the stores and landmarks kept getting further and further away from him.
 like a mirage. He didn't understand and started feeling anxious and disoriented and then blank, a complete loss of memory. And when he awakened, he was on a different street in a different part of town, quite a while away from the intersection he was at before. And he had no idea how he got there. But within a few minutes, his mom pulled up and asked him if he was all right.
 Normally, his parents never looked for him as long as he came home before dinner, but his mom somehow just knew exactly where he was. When he asked her why she went to look for him, she said she was just doing chores at home. when a voice in her head said, "Get John. He needs you." And a lot of people have had the same missing piece of time experience.
 So, they've theorized that perhaps these blips are us crossing into another universe and taking your alternate selves as place and vice versa. So, when you swap back, you end up somewhere else and not knowing how you got there. At number eight, we have the Large Hadron Collider, LHC for short. CERN, which is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, restarted their newly upgraded LHC in order to find out more about dark matter and look for tiny black holes that could be gateways to alternate universes. This LHC is the world's most
powerful particle accelerator. And the point of it is to try and recreate the conditions present during the big bang to see what kind of matter was produced. Its other project is finding those tiny black holes. A paper published by scientists at the University of Wateroo proposed a way to prove black holes connect our universe with other universes.
 So CERN intends on testing and proving their hypothesis. If they do, and it's likely that they do, it'll be the first experiment that proves the existence of alternate realities ever. Hopefully, they also find out how to transition from this reality to that one. Thanks. Filling our number seven slot is the Bermuda Triangle.
 I've been interested in the Bermuda Triangle ever since I found out people and airplanes and ships go missing in the area. There's just too much intrigue to not be interested. It's mysterious. Things disappear. Time and space becomes distorted. It's like a world of its own. The first article ever written about the place dubbed it the Sea of the Devil, which is just it's just not the way you want to debut into the world of print.
It's really not. Over the past century, there have been hundreds and hundreds of large air and sea vessels that have just disappeared. Other cases involve perfectly intact and working sea craft, completely abandoned by their crew and the crew never being found. Eyewitnesses who have been and survived recall compasses going crazy when they entered the area, unusual clouds, and entering a rotating substance and exiting through a luminescent curtain of some kind.
 I don't know. Scientists like Einstein and Mo Kaku came up with theories about the refraction of time. Kaku had a theory about the river of time saying it can lead to the formation of wellpools of time in which it's possible to enter into different time spaces and that the river can fork into many directions and obviously those different time spaces have alternate realities.
 The founder of the spiritual practice Falun Dafa said the triangle is definitely a gateway to another reality but it's just very unpredictable. If the door happens to be open, then a ship could slip in for a moment and come back out by accident.But that second could be decades in our world because time is different in every dimension.
 What do you guys think? Now, at number six is the desert blip. Back in 1972, four girls were coming back from a Utah rodeo and they took the Utah Highway 56. Since their land lady had a really strict 12 a.m. curfew and it was already 10:30, the girls decided to take a shortcut off the highway which went towards Gadington Canyon.
 They were driving on Black asphalt for a while, but somewhere along the way, it transformed into cracked concrete. The girls encountered a dead end and went back the way they came. But it took them a few minutes to realize their surroundings had completely changed. They went from driving in the desert to driving by lush fields of wheat near a large lake.
 At this point, the girls had no idea where they were, and in the distance, they saw a light coming from a building. So, they went towards it. And when they got closer, they saw the neon sign spell out a message which they couldn't read. The letters or symbols were twisted lines and curves, a language none of the girls had ever seen before.
 Then all of a sudden, extremely tall men started pouring out of the building and started waving their arms and pointing at the girls and then coming towards them. They looked human, but they weren't. And the girls took off, screaming and crying. 30 seconds later, they realized that people were following them in egg-shaped vehicles that had one headlight, two front wheels, and one rear.
 They drove back into the canyon and soon lost the eggs. But wow, I really wonder where the hell they ended up. I'm convinced it was another universe. The sign, I can just imagine the sign being one of those fonts on word that you have no idea what it's saying. It's probably one of those. Coming in at number five are psychopaths. Juicy, I know.
 So, way back during the eugenics movement, scientists believe mankind could be improved by breeding out the evil and bad ones amongst us. It led to sterilizing prisoners and mental patients by the early 20th century. But Linda Campbell puts forth a theory that psychopaths are spiritually dead demonized human predators that disguise the fact their mind is demonically filled.
 Their lack of empathy allows them to ignore reality and impose false realities on others made up of lies. The lack of empathy makes them blind to humanity and so humans to them can be easily sacrificed, abused, tormented. You name it, it can happen to them. They possess an unlimited amount of demonic energy and get a thrill out of things we would categorize as screwed up.
 So, Linda theorized these people actually exist in a demonically twisted upside down reality where everything they're doing and feeling makes complete sense to them in their reality. Our reality and theirs overlap. And their reality [music] is a devilish anti-world within ours. And how this overlap happened, I have no idea.
But it's not the first time blip or overlaps have popped up within this topic. So, at number four is The Cabin. It was so hard finding links about the story. It's like the universe just didn't want me to share it and know more, but I will. But anyway, many years ago, a woman and her friends went camping near a forest.
 They were having a good time toasting marshmallows, the whole shebang, when they heard some music come from a stone cabin. First of all, I don't know why they weren't suspicious of a random stone cabin in the forest to begin with, but sure. Moving on. When they went to the cabin, they apparently saw a bunch of people wearing 17th century clothing just dancing inside.
 The woman was almost drawn to it and she tried to enter it. But before she entered all the way, her friend pulled her away and half her body immediately became paralyzed. Yes, the half that entered the cabin. Like out of nowhere, nothing happened. She just became paralyzed. Many believe the woman actually stepped into a dimensional gateway to an alternate reality.
 But when she was pulled away, she felt a shift that completely threw off her nervous system. I mean obviously since our systems don't experience alternate realities frequently and thus she became paralyzed. Filling our number three slot are doppelgangers. It's a tricky subject. How is it possible for someone unrelated to us at all to look exactly like us? Looks are genetic.
 We look the way we do because of our ancestors. I don't need to explain that. So how can anyone else look exactly like us from a scientific and biological standpoint? It just doesn't make sense. They're meant to be us in an alternate reality living their lives, but somehow in the configuration of endless possibilities of realities and universes.
 A glitch occurred and two of the same person ended up in the same reality when technically they shouldn't have been. They're not our clones. They still carry out their own lives like they would have in the alternate reality except they're here and they look exactly like us. Andnow at number two is Laxaria. Back in 1851, a man called Jofalvorin was found in a German village speaking a bit of broken weird German.
 When locals in the area found him, he said he spoke the languages Ibramian and Laxerian and that he was from Laxeria from an area called Sakria which was separated from Europe by an ocean. He said his world had five great compartments aka continents called Sacria, Aar, Affla, Upl, and Ocla which obviously stunned everyone because none of those things exist.
 He went on to say he was Christian, but that it was also called Espatian in Laxaria. You may be wondering why he was in Germany to [music] begin with. He could have just easily stayed in Laxaria. He was trying to find his long- lost brother, but then suffered a shipwreck on his way and wound up in Germany.
 Despite looking at many maps, he couldn't trace his route from any shore or find his way back. People believe he's from an alternate universe and somehow ended up in ours. [music] Who knows? Maybe he went through his world's version of the Bermuda Triangle and that's how he got here. And finally at number one are the green children of Woolpit.
 Now in the 12th century a brother and sister were found near a wolf pit in the village of Woolpit Suffk. Yes, they got the name of the village from the wolf pits in the village. Now they looked like normal human kids except for the fact that their skin was heavily tinged with green. They spoke an unknown language that none of the locals had heard of, would only eat raw beans, and their clothing was just very bizarre.
 After a while, they learned how to eat normal food and lost their green hue. But the boy soon died. The girl, however, learned how to speak English. And she explained how her brother and her had come from a place called St. Martins's Land, which was a subterranean world that only housed green people. She said the sun never shone there and it was twilight all the time.
 When asked how they got to Woolpit, she said she had no idea. She recalls her dad's cattle with her brother and then hearing a loud noise and then they suddenly just end up near the wolf pit. The girl grew up and got married and led her life. But many people theorize the kids came from an alternate reality but just adapted to ours.
 For me personally, since it was the 12th century and travel was hard for locals of small villages, maybe the kids were from the Middle East or Asia, which could explain why the locals didn't recognize their language or clothing. But that still doesn't explain how they got there or the greenness of their skin. So maybe I should just stop talking.
 Starting off at number 10 is the cold spot. According to a study published by the Royal Astronomical Society, there's a patch of cool space called the cold spot, which can be seen in the radiation produced by the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago. It was first discovered by one of NASA's satellites in 2004 and then confirmed by ESA's Plank Mission in 2013.
 The latest study actually ruled out the pre-existing explanation for this, which was that the cold spot was an optical illusion produced by a lack of intervening galaxies. One of the authors of the study said the cold spot could very well be caused by collision between our universe and another bubble universe.
 Every bubble universe has its own laws of physics that could be similar to ours or completely different. So that ending statement still makes everything inconclusive, [music] but it may be evidence. Coming in at number nine is deja vu and co. So, pretty sure we've all experienced deja vu multiple times in our life, so I'm not going to bother explaining it.
 But the co- part of the title was referring to other phenomenons. The first being deja vu, which means you instinctively know what's about to happen next. And the second being alteru, which is when someone feels like their whole history has been altered somehow. So to make that clearer, when certain memories just aren't really meshing with reality, that's what altervu is.
 And dΓ©ja vu and dΓ©ja vu are said to be memories bleeding into a reality from an alternate self. Altvu on the other hand is meant to indicate being transferred to a completely new timeline and universe while still remembering things from your [music] previous one. So next time you feel any of these things, just think twice and think very deeply about what's going on.
 At number eight, we have the Mandela effect. And now we have talked about the Mandela effect in another video, but if you haven't seen it, then I'll give you a quick recap. The Mandela effect was formed by paranormal researcher Fiona Broom, who realized she remembered a huge historical event completely differently to everybody around her.
 She said she clearly remembered Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 80s when in real life, or at least this reality, he died in 2013 at home. She didn't understand this because she remembered his death so vividly. She voiced her doubts onlineand realized there were so many other people who shared the same memory as her to the point they remember being taught about his death in the 80s in school.
There's another example like in Star Wars most people remember Darth Vader saying Luke I am your father. Me definitely included but the actual line is no I am your father. I feel like really hardcore fans will know that but clearly I'm not. She then formulated the idea that this huge gap between reality could very well be because some people and in this case the people who remember the 80s death had somehow managed to splinter off and shift between parallel dimensions but still kept in contact with I guess this dimension. Hence their
memories of an old and different timeline doesn't always line up with our world or our timeline and that was coined the Mandela effect. The end. Filling our number seven slot is eternal inflation. So, this isn't a physical piece of evidence, but it's a significantly backed up scientific theory.
 So, good luck to me trying to explain this. So, let's start at the start. The Big Bang was an event that created our universe when it expanded outwards faster than the speed of light. And that process is called inflation. I honestly feel like Bill Nye the Science Guy right now. So, according to cosmologist Alexander Villain Ken, some areas of spaceime stop inflating, but others keep expanding.
 In that regard, the big bang stopped expanding all of a sudden. for our universe. But according to the theory of inflationary multiverse, it kept expanding into multiple parallel universes, creating more and more infinite realities, and we just happened to be one of them. If they do exist, there were bubble universe probably right next to us or even overlapping with us.
 Now, at number six is the case of Elenia Barcia. Now, this Spanish woman woke up in her Madrid apartment one day and was hit with the realization that something was very, very wrong. She didn't recognize the bed sheets she had just woken up on. Some items from her apartment were missing, whereas there was some items she had never even seen before.
 But the worst part was her boyfriend. She just couldn't find him anymore. She then tried to look for his number in her phone. Couldn't find it. She asked her friends about him. None of them knew who she was talking about. She then reported him missing to the police and they told her there was no records of that person even existing.
 A psychiatrist offered that perhaps Lennia was hallucinating due to stress, but she vehemently disagreed. She wasn't stressed. Something was wrong. She went to visit her family and spoke about her sister's surgery that had happened a few months prior. And her parents and sister had no recollection of that event. Even when she went to work, everything was anarchy.
 She now worked for the same company, but in a different department in a different part of the world. She told her boss she was ill and went home, even though she had to figure out who her boss was. Yet, the boss seemed to know her pretty well. Yet, she didn't know him at all. She's never been declared mentally ill and she's not a drinker or a drug user, but she thoroughly believes that she slipped into another universe, only a bit different from her own universe, but now she can just never get back there cuz she doesn't even know how she got to
this one to begin with. Coming at number five are ghosts. Now, I know ghosts are almost always exclusively linked to the dead and that ghosts are known to just to be dead people haunting us or their spirit, but that's actually never been proven. We keep looking towards signs for the answers, but the answer may be a lot simpler than we think.
 People have offered that ghosts are actually living beings from a parallel universe. They could very easily be visions through breaches between planes and into alternate realities that exist in unison with ours. That's why we can never see ghosts that well. They're always just mirages. They could just be real people that are flickering into our worlds from theirs.
 And we could very well be doing the same in their world. For all I know, I could be appearing as a vision over there right now, but some little kid poppy is himself thinking I'm a ghost. Another explanation for ghosts could be that they're humans that live with us but exist in a totally different realm or timeline. Hence, they're never fully here and we can't observe them properly with our senses.
 But maybe they can with theirs. I would take that explanation over them being evidence of the afterlife any day because it's just a lot less scary and I can sleep better at night that way. At number four is ancient lights. Caltech cosmologist Ranga Ramchari found evidence of cosmic bruising which he thinks is evidence of a parallel universe.
 Cosmic bruising basically means one universe bumping against another universe. In his study published in the Astrophysical Journal, he said cosmic bruising may explain ananomaly in a cosmic microwave background produced using data from ESA's Plank Observatory. When he compared the map created to a map of the night sky, he found this unexplainable blob of bright light.
 The cosmic background shows bursts of ancient light displaying radiation signatures from just a few hundred,000 years after the Big Bang. And I know that seems like a long time, but in the bigger picture, it's probably like a minute. Ancient light is the result of the recombinations of electrons and protons that initially teamed up to make hydrogen.
 And hydrogen only gives off a limited range of visible light. So, all astronomers know which colors they should be and which colors they shouldn't be. And the blob he found in the map wasn't the color it should have been, and he posited that our universe may have just simply been a region within another eternally inflating super region. That's nice.
Filling our number three slot is quantum mechanics. Science teacher Aean is back at it again, people. And I don't know how I'm going to make quantum mechanics easy to understand in one minute, but I'm going to try. So bear with me. And for the record, none of this is in dispute.
 So you can't slate me in the comments cuz even scientists aren't doing it. So haha. Now, so quantum particles exist at the subatomic level and are the smallest particles in existence. Well, from what we've discovered so far, these particles exist in a superp position state, which means they either exist in two places at once or they're spinning in two different directions simultaneously.
 That's their standby state. Are we understanding so far? Are we all getting this? I feel like that was the simple part. I cannot make this simpler. Believe me, I tried. So, this is the hard part. When these particles are not being observed in their standby state, they're taking on every possible state, position, configuration that they can.
 And when they're observed, the state or configuration that they're in becomes adopted. And so that's set in stone now. But at the same time, it spawns like billions of other alternate timelines in the process. Basically, these particles can be in so many configurations, and all of them represent an alternate version of reality.
 But we literally can't even begin to count how many possible combinations of factors and outcomes there are. But it's science. Heck, even physicists haven't even fully understood it. How am I meant to make you guys understand it on YouTube? But I think that was pretty easy to understand and it also makes your mind wander to every possible thing that can happen or could happen or is happening.
Now at number two is the black hole theory. So black holes are apparently useful for something other than stretching us into non-existence. Now the idea of black holes being gateways to parallel universes has been part of sci-fi plots for like five ever. But Steven Hawking himself believes in parallel universes.
 And he calculated that black holes aren't just giant sink holes where nothing ever survives. In his final calculations, he discovered that mathematically black holes must end. Eventually they have to. They just do. Based on his calculations, he realized black holes actually start to leak information and eventually explode. And that explosion would release previously trapped particles in any form.
 Emphasis on any if you didn't get that the first time. Being ejected via explosion wouldn't just throw someone back to where they came from. It would make them reappear somewhere else, most likely an alternate universe. And who knows what form they'll even reappear in. And finally, at number one is the professor.
 Now, this story took place in the early 1970s on the campus of the University of the Andes in Venezuela. A prominent unnamed professor has been missing for the last 40, 50 years, and how he disappeared has led people to believe he slipped into a parallel world. One afternoon, many students saw him walking across the parking lot of one of the buildings.
 He even stopped to chat with a student as he went to his car. He got to his car. He saw some students wave at him and he waved back. And when he finally got into the car and closed the door, he straight up disappeared. And I'm not talking disappeared as in he drove away and was never seen again. No, the car was never driven.
 It was just stood there and he sat in the car and disappeared into thin air. After police conducted interviews with witnesses, it was concluded no one saw him get out of the car either. The story was so big it was even covered by Eltempo, one of the largest Venezuelan newspapers. Like, how did he just disappear like that? Mind blown.
 In our number 10 spot, we have unknown objects. Over the years, archaeologists have discovered items while on expeditions [music] that they truly can't explain. objects that cannot be identified as an object of this world [music] or an object that is so old and doesn't fit with our idea as to what existedduring that time.
 A good example of this is a hammer that was found in London in the 1930s. And this hammer is said to be over 500 million years old when humans weren't known to exist. There is also the antithetheria object that is a stone-like computer that was found near a Greek island. [music] A stone computer. W.
 These items are from civilizations and times where there is no other data and proof [music] that they existed. And so some have of course concluded that perhaps they are objects left by time travelers or [music] dimension travelers or perhaps alien species. I think dimension travelers. [music] What do you think? Let me know in the comments section below.
 In our number nine spot, we have the case of Lina Garcia. This is a story that was covered in the news around the world because of how different it was and how it may possibly prove the existence of alternate realities. Allegedly, a young woman by the name of Lina Garcia woke up one morning to find that nothing was familiar to her.
 her home, her friends, job, [music] everything was completely different, as if she was brand new to this planet. Many think that the reason everything was so far off is because she slipped into another dimension. No explanation made more sense as she was still her and looked like her and yet everything, her whole world was completely [music] different.
 People have speculated that she suffered from memory loss. However, all signs pointed to her being in perfect health, not to mention nothing traumatic had occurred that would make anyone believe that [music] theory. This sounds actually so similar to a popular book called A Thousand Pieces of You. I bet the author based the story off of this story.
 If you like the idea of alternative realities, then I would very much recommend that book. In our number eight spot, we have deja vu. This is a phenomena that is widely talked about as it is seemingly a phenomena that almost everyone experiences. The phenomena that is deja vu is essentially a weird sensation that you have experienced a situation once before.
 You have a feeling kind of like yeah this happened before or this feels familiar. People try to explain it off as if it is something familiar that you are thinking is similar or it is some kind of troubleshooting in the brain. There are also other versions of deja vu such as deja vu, a feeling that you know what's going to happen next or altervu which is the act of remembering your history differently.
 [music] Similar to the case of Lina Garcia, where the person realizes that the world around them is unfamiliar and they can recognize their history and recognize the history forming [music] in front of their eyes as well. Pretty trippy. What if psychic predictions are just knowings that we have from other realities? [music] And maybe when they don't happen and we feel sure that they were supposed to happen, then maybe that fate wasn't meant for this reality, but it [music] is meant for another reality.
 Ooh, interesting. In our number seven spot, we have the Baronstein Bears phenomena. If you haven't heard of this sign of an alternative reality, then perhaps you did not grow up in the '9s when literally everyone I speak to that grew up in this time seems to remember this book being called the Baronstein Bears, not the [music] Baron Stain Bears as it is seemingly published as today.
 This has been a popular thread on internet chat rooms for many years now and so widely talked about. Most people believe it to be a sign that we possibly jumped into another reality in the millennium or perhaps in 2012 [music] or just in another time because there are just too many people that are confused about the name change.
 [music] If we didn't jump into another reality, then I'm convinced some aliens have changed it somehow to mess with all of us. One of the two [music] theories feels about right. In our number six spot, we have the many worlds theory. There is a physicist by the name of Hugh Everett who back in 1957 [music] came up with a theory of multiple realities in quantum mechanics and he suggested that all possible alternate histories and futures are real but are within their own worlds.
 This theory basically states that any possible occurrence that could have happened in reality would be a world of its own. WA. It's a theory that is one of the more popular ones in the physics and philosophy world being added to and expanded upon by other physicists such as Bryce Sillingman [music] Dwit. In our number five spot, we have dreams.
Out of all the explained phenomena in the world, you know, we've even placed a person on the moon for Christ's sakes. We have not been able to solve the mystery of our dreams. Researchers are nowhere close to understanding exactly how the mind works and dreams are an element that are still quite [music] a mystery.
 Nobody quite knows if dreams are a result of the brain as it rests. You know, the brain [music] perhaps sorts through thoughts,memories, and anxieties or do we perhaps jump into other worlds and realities in our dreams. Some think both. There is also the phenomenon of astro travel that many have proven to have done in dreams and were able to give accurate information when they've woken up about what happened while they were dreaming.
So yet another phenomenon about dreams we can't explain. But my money is on jumping into alternative realities. I've had too many weird dreams in my life that make me think, "Yeah, that's probably true." In our number four spot, we have torid. Okay, this story is kind of wild. Apparently, in the year 1954, [music] there was a man coming into Tokyo airport in Japan with a passport from a country that [music] didn't exist.
 The customs officials grilled the man on why he had a fake passport [music] and fake custom papers, and he insisted that his passport and papers were real. He apparently had all kinds of bank statements and documents from a country in Europe called Torrid. Apparently, this country has thousands of years of history as well.
 The man was held in a hotel room for several hours while the government analyzed his [music] papers only to go into the hotel room and find him to be banished. Yeah, that's enough proof for me. Clearly, he was a person from another reality where torid is a country. Cool. [sighs and gasps] What a wild story.
 I'm surprised that a movie hasn't been made about this yet. In our number three spot, we have ghosts. There are some scientific theories out there that possibly tie ghosts to people from alternative realities. I know we usually think of ghosts and think that they're [music] our deceased loved ones who have moved on to wherever another place.
 But some scientists have theorized that perhaps ghosts are actually some kind of bleedth through from alternative realities, a sort of misfiring of electrons that have landed on a possible wrong plane of existence. Or perhaps it really is just our deceased loved ones in an alternative reality and that's where we move on to when we pass away.
Who knows? [music] But interesting to think about. In our number two spot, we have superposition. Okay, so scientific research has led us to have a good understanding of how the universe works as we [music] have been able to observe the behavior of electrons and protons which make up atoms.
 And in case [music] you don't know, but atoms make up humans and every object on this planet. Something that we have learned through observing protons and electrons is that [music] they can be in multiple places or in multiple states of existence all simultaneously. H this has been called superposition. This means that [music] people and things could also possibly exist in multiple states of reality too.
 [music] Thus proving to me that alternative realities exist. I wonder if there's a reality that I'm a princess. [music] That just feels right. In our number one spot today, we have the Large Hadron Collider. There is a large Hadron Collider that has been subjected to many urban legends over the years. This Hadrron Collider is the world's largest and highest particle collider that lies 27 km deep below the surface between the France and Switzerland border.
 It was originally created by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, [music] between 1998 and 2008 as a collab between 10,000 scientists and hundreds of labs and universities from over 100 different countries. Anyways, some say that the purpose of this was to possibly create a black hole in reality, but of course, this [music] is just hearsay and a theory.
 Regardless of what they are actually doing down there, they did stumble across some crazy evidence that may further prove the existence of alternate realities. By throwing a bunch of particles around at crazy speeds, these scientists were able to measure how long particles disappeared for and it has been assumed that they traveled to new dimensions or planes of existence.
 Apparently, one of the scientists at CERN by the name of Aurelion Bau has been quoted as saying, [music] "The multiverse is no longer a model. It is a consequence of our models." Fascinating is all I've got to say. I'm obsessed with Interstellar, and apparently that movie did a very good representation as to describing [music] what is believed to be the fifth dimension and what could be assumed as an alternate reality.
 God, my little third dimension brain is feeling mind blown thinking about all this. I think I'm going to [music] go take a nap now. [music] [music] >> [music]

Welcome to "The Chronically Online Algorithm" 1. Introduction: Your Guide to a Digital Wonderland Welcome to "πŸ‘¨πŸ»‍πŸš€The Chronically Online AlgorithmπŸ‘½". From its header—a chaotic tapestry of emoticons and symbols—to its relentless posting schedule, the blog is a direct reflection of a mind processing a constant, high-volume stream of digital information. At first glance, it might seem like an indecipherable storm of links, videos, and cultural artifacts. Think of it as a living archive or a public digital scrapbook, charting a journey through a universe of interconnected ideas that span from ancient mysticism to cutting-edge technology and political commentary. The purpose of this primer is to act as your guide. We will map out the main recurring themes that form the intellectual backbone of the blog, helping you navigate its vast and eclectic collection of content and find the topics that spark your own curiosity. 2. The Core Themes: A Map of the Territory While the blog's content is incredibly diverse, it consistently revolves around a few central pillars of interest. These pillars are drawn from the author's "INTERESTORNADO," a list that reveals a deep fascination with hidden systems, alternative knowledge, and the future of humanity. This guide will introduce you to the three major themes that anchor the blog's explorations: * Esotericism & Spirituality * Conspiracy & Alternative Theories * Technology & Futurism Let's begin our journey by exploring the first and most prominent theme: the search for hidden spiritual knowledge. 3. Theme 1: Esotericism & The Search for Hidden Knowledge A significant portion of the blog is dedicated to Esotericism, which refers to spiritual traditions that explore hidden knowledge and the deeper, unseen meanings of existence. It is a path of self-discovery that encourages questioning and direct personal experience. The blog itself offers a concise definition in its "map of the esoteric" section: Esotericism, often shrouded in mystery and intrigue, encompasses a wide array of spiritual and philosophical traditions that seek to delve into the hidden knowledge and deeper meanings of existence. It's a journey of self-discovery, spiritual growth, and the exploration of the interconnectedness of all things. The blog explores this theme through a variety of specific traditions. Among the many mentioned in the author's interests, a few key examples stand out: * Gnosticism * Hermeticism * Tarot Gnosticism, in particular, is a recurring topic. It represents an ancient spiritual movement focused on achieving salvation through direct, personal knowledge (gnosis) of the divine. A tangible example of the content you can expect is the post linking to the YouTube video, "Gnostic Immortality: You’ll NEVER Experience Death & Why They Buried It (full guide)". This focus on questioning established spiritual history provides a natural bridge to the blog's tendency to question the official narratives of our modern world. 4. Theme 2: Conspiracy & Alternative Theories - Questioning the Narrative Flowing from its interest in hidden spiritual knowledge, the blog also encourages a deep skepticism of official stories in the material world. This is captured by the "Conspiracy Theory/Truth Movement" interest, which drives an exploration of alternative viewpoints on politics, hidden history, and unconventional science. The content in this area is broad, serving as a repository for information that challenges mainstream perspectives. The following table highlights the breadth of this theme with specific examples found on the blog: Topic Area Example Blog Post/Interest Political & Economic Power "Who Owns America? Bernie Sanders Says the Quiet Part Out Loud" Geopolitical Analysis ""Something UGLY Is About To Hit America..." | Whitney Webb" Unconventional World Models "Flat Earth" from the interest list This commitment to unearthing alternative information is further reflected in the site's organization, with content frequently categorized under labels like TRUTH and nwo. Just as the blog questions the past and present, it also speculates intensely about the future, particularly the role technology will play in shaping it. 5. Theme 3: Technology & Futurism - The Dawn of a New Era The blog is deeply fascinated with the future, especially the transformative power of technology and artificial intelligence, as outlined in the "Technology & Futurism" interest category. It tracks the development of concepts that are poised to reshape human existence. Here are three of the most significant futuristic concepts explored: * Artificial Intelligence: The development of smart machines that can think and learn, a topic explored through interests like "AI Art". * The Singularity: A hypothetical future point where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. * Simulation Theory: The philosophical idea that our perceived reality might be an artificial simulation, much like a highly advanced computer program. Even within this high-tech focus, the blog maintains a sense of humor. In one chat snippet, an LLM (Large Language Model) is asked about the weather, to which it humorously replies, "I do not have access to the governments weapons, including weather modification." This blend of serious inquiry and playful commentary is central to how the blog connects its wide-ranging interests. 6. Putting It All Together: The "Chronically Online" Worldview So, what is the connecting thread between ancient Gnosticism, modern geopolitical analysis, and future AI? The blog is built on a foundational curiosity about hidden systems. It investigates the unseen forces that shape our world, whether they are: * Spiritual and metaphysical (Esotericism) * Societal and political (Conspiracies) * Technological and computational (AI & Futurism) This is a space where a deep-dive analysis by geopolitical journalist Whitney Webb can appear on the same day as a video titled "15 Minutes of Celebrities Meeting Old Friends From Their Past." The underlying philosophy is that both are data points in the vast, interconnected information stream. It is a truly "chronically online" worldview, where everything is a potential clue to understanding the larger systems at play. 7. How to Start Your Exploration For a new reader, the sheer volume of content can be overwhelming. Be prepared for the scale: the blog archives show thousands of posts per year (with over 2,600 in the first ten months of 2025 alone), making the navigation tools essential. Here are a few recommended starting points to begin your own journey of discovery: 1. Browse the Labels: The sidebar features a "Labels" section, the perfect way to find posts on specific topics. Look for tags like TRUTH and matrix for thematic content, but also explore more personal and humorous labels like fuckinghilarious!!!, labelwhore, or holyshitspirit to get a feel for the blog's unfiltered personality. 2. Check the Popular Posts: This section gives you a snapshot of what content is currently resonating most with other readers. It’s an excellent way to discover some of the blog's most compelling or timely finds. 3. Explore the Pages: The list of "Pages" at the top of the blog contains more permanent, curated collections of information. Look for descriptive pages like "libraries system esoterica" for curated resources, or more mysterious pages like OPERATIONNOITAREPO and COCTEAUTWINS=NAME that reflect the blog's scrapbook-like nature. Now it's your turn. Dive in, follow the threads that intrigue you, and embrace the journey of discovery that "The Chronically Online Algorithm" has to offer.
