1
00:00:00,722 --> 00:00:03,899
It has been called the
key to the universe...
2
00:00:04,278 --> 00:00:09,622
We are just discovering something
which is completely blowing our minds.
3
00:00:09,633 --> 00:00:12,408
... a gateway to new technologies...
4
00:00:12,431 --> 00:00:15,424
We're going into a vast unknown territory.
5
00:00:15,447 --> 00:00:17,935
Who knows what we'll find?
6
00:00:18,055 --> 00:00:19,106
... and possibly
7
00:00:19,107 --> 00:00:23,249
the most important scientific
breakthrough of all time.
8
00:00:23,566 --> 00:00:27,315
It's going to open up new layers
of our understanding of reality.
9
00:00:27,774 --> 00:00:30,457
Could the so-called God particle
10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,047
really reveal the truth about our origins?
11
00:00:34,769 --> 00:00:37,303
And might clues to its significance
12
00:00:37,315 --> 00:00:39,137
have been left here on Earth
13
00:00:39,138 --> 00:00:44,264
thousands of years ago by
extraterrestrial beings?
14
00:00:44,384 --> 00:00:47,968
We can use this to understand
our place in the universe
15
00:00:48,088 --> 00:00:52,016
and even to teleport and travel
16
00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:54,597
through time and space.
17
00:00:54,717 --> 00:00:57,350
Millions of people around the world
18
00:00:57,361 --> 00:01:01,982
believe we have been visited in
the past by extraterrestrial beings.
19
00:01:01,983 --> 00:01:04,909
What if it were true?
20
00:01:05,029 --> 00:01:09,700
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
21
00:01:09,964 --> 00:01:16,283
And if so, might there be evidence
in the discovery of the God particle?

27
00:01:56,247 --> 00:02:00,077
Every religion seeks to
answer the same question:
28
00:02:00,089 --> 00:02:01,878
"Where did we come from?"
29
00:02:03,151 --> 00:02:06,223
Philosophers, sages and priests
30
00:02:06,224 --> 00:02:10,042
have pondered our origins
since the dawn of humanity,
31
00:02:10,065 --> 00:02:16,210
while science has looked for evidence
that might one day give us the answer.
32
00:02:16,211 --> 00:02:18,585
Both religion and science
33
00:02:18,608 --> 00:02:23,068
approach the idea of where we
come from with a set of rules.
34
00:02:24,674 --> 00:02:27,506
Science has the scientific method.
35
00:02:27,626 --> 00:02:30,533
Religion comes at the same question
with its own set of rules...
36
00:02:30,556 --> 00:02:34,008
a presupposition that a God or gods exist.
37
00:02:34,570 --> 00:02:38,503
Religion gives us a
certain view of reality.
38
00:02:38,623 --> 00:02:41,539
And science gives us a
different view of reality.
39
00:02:41,542 --> 00:02:45,521
And yes, there are points at which
these two worldviews are compatible.
40
00:02:47,145 --> 00:02:49,659
Science and religion,
41
00:02:49,686 --> 00:02:52,392
at their best moments,
are searching for truth,
42
00:02:52,393 --> 00:02:54,018
as is philosophy.
43
00:02:54,228 --> 00:02:57,908
Especially at moments like
the moment of the big bang,
44
00:02:58,412 --> 00:03:01,226
the moment of creation, the genesis.
45
00:03:01,724 --> 00:03:05,450
These streams of thought converge.
46
00:03:05,808 --> 00:03:10,037
In effect, science and
religion and philosophy
47
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:12,303
are all searching for the same thing.
48
00:03:13,174 --> 00:03:15,587
It reminds me of Einstein's question:
49
00:03:15,633 --> 00:03:19,156
"What were God's thoughts when
he was making the universe?"
50
00:03:21,028 --> 00:03:24,101
If science and religion
51
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:27,514
are both searching for
answers to the same questions,
52
00:03:27,542 --> 00:03:30,799
then why do we so often
consider them at odds?
53
00:03:32,001 --> 00:03:35,550
Is it necessary that one negates the other?
54
00:03:36,963 --> 00:03:40,853
Science speaks nothing whatsoever
about the existence of God.
55
00:03:41,358 --> 00:03:43,550
And because of that,
56
00:03:43,577 --> 00:03:46,738
there's still an opening for God.
Right? There's still a possibility
57
00:03:46,770 --> 00:03:48,815
that God stands behind all this,
58
00:03:48,816 --> 00:03:51,302
that God's responsible for the big bang.
59
00:03:52,870 --> 00:03:57,549
In the ancient world, the
philosophers were the scientists.
60
00:03:57,568 --> 00:03:59,623
There was no clear distinction
61
00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:03,087
between hard research and
theological speculations.
62
00:04:03,207 --> 00:04:05,411
All serious thinkers were trying to
63
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,998
figure out the nature of reality.
64
00:04:08,118 --> 00:04:12,356
Now we consider these
to be separate pursuits.
65
00:04:13,457 --> 00:04:16,348
If we truly want to bridge the gap
66
00:04:16,375 --> 00:04:18,476
between religion and science,
67
00:04:18,907 --> 00:04:21,458
we must recognize
68
00:04:21,578 --> 00:04:25,834
that religion needs to
become more scientific.
69
00:04:26,364 --> 00:04:29,926
And science would benefit by
becoming a wee bit more religious,
70
00:04:29,953 --> 00:04:31,862
not in the mythological sense,
71
00:04:31,982 --> 00:04:35,137
but by looking back to the religious,
72
00:04:35,257 --> 00:04:37,632
and "what they interpret to be myth,"
73
00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:41,806
and say, if there's any legitimacy
or reality to this, what is it?
74
00:04:41,926 --> 00:04:43,173
Let's explore.
75
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:44,781
Let's discover.
76
00:04:44,882 --> 00:04:48,090
Let's find out what the truth is.
77
00:04:49,485 --> 00:04:51,700
As our technology advances
78
00:04:51,705 --> 00:04:54,145
at an increasingly rapid rate,
79
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:58,714
are we getting closer to
discovering our true origins?
80
00:05:00,585 --> 00:05:05,924
And finding out whether or not we
really are alone in the universe?
81
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:09,739
Some believe a recent
scientific breakthrough
82
00:05:09,764 --> 00:05:14,369
may prove to be a giant leap
forward in our search for the truth.
83
00:05:19,450 --> 00:05:21,421
Geneva, Switzerland.
84
00:05:22,367 --> 00:05:23,611
Here,
85
00:05:23,731 --> 00:05:26,770
buried over 300 feet beneath the Earth
86
00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:31,384
and covering a remarkable 17-mile expanse,
87
00:05:31,504 --> 00:05:35,701
is the largest and most
complex machine ever created:
88
00:05:36,968 --> 00:05:41,097
the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC.
89
00:05:42,317 --> 00:05:44,796
Smashing tiny protons together
90
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:49,011
at speeds of nearly 670
million miles per hour,
91
00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:52,531
the LHC creates such intense energy
92
00:05:52,651 --> 00:05:54,376
that some people are afraid
93
00:05:54,415 --> 00:05:56,887
it could actually create a black hole
94
00:05:56,910 --> 00:06:00,156
and swallow up the entire Earth.
95
00:06:00,946 --> 00:06:05,122
The Large Hadron Collider is a
real triumph of human civilization.
96
00:06:05,138 --> 00:06:08,814
It's easily the most
complicated and powerful device
97
00:06:08,822 --> 00:06:10,972
that human beings have ever built.
98
00:06:11,864 --> 00:06:15,523
You're actually firing
two protons into each other
99
00:06:15,726 --> 00:06:19,707
and having them collide with
an enormous release of energy,
100
00:06:20,708 --> 00:06:25,799
recreating conditions in a very
small area similar to the big bang
101
00:06:25,822 --> 00:06:28,458
in its very earliest instant.
102
00:06:29,045 --> 00:06:31,203
It is a bit like going back in time,
103
00:06:31,323 --> 00:06:33,393
towards the big bang or the
beginning of the universe...
104
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,718
getting to points in the history of the
universe where the energies were that high.
105
00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:44,640
On July 4, 2012,
106
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:47,471
thousands crowded outside an auditorium
107
00:06:47,471 --> 00:06:50,849
at the European Organization
for Nuclear Research,
108
00:06:50,865 --> 00:06:52,179
or CERN,
109
00:06:52,299 --> 00:06:56,449
to hear the announcement of
the LHC's first major finding.
110
00:06:56,918 --> 00:06:59,788
Streaming the event live across the world,
111
00:06:59,908 --> 00:07:02,697
scientists prepared to reveal a discovery
112
00:07:02,736 --> 00:07:05,044
that could solve a decades-old mystery
113
00:07:05,067 --> 00:07:07,820
about the nature of our universe.
114
00:07:07,867 --> 00:07:11,918
The atmosphere in the room
was, uh, was incredible.
115
00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:17,620
It was not like a normal
physics symposium or seminar.
116
00:07:17,635 --> 00:07:22,649
It was truly something of
completely different magnitude was...
117
00:07:22,672 --> 00:07:24,182
was going to be announced,
118
00:07:24,302 --> 00:07:27,991
that it is completely
extraordinary, which it was.
119
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,127
As a layman, I would now say...
120
00:07:31,588 --> 00:07:33,058
I think we have it.
121
00:07:37,899 --> 00:07:40,731
What the scientists at CERN had discovered
122
00:07:40,746 --> 00:07:42,498
was a tiny bit of matter
123
00:07:42,537 --> 00:07:43,812
that some call,
124
00:07:43,859 --> 00:07:45,735
the God particle.
125
00:07:46,181 --> 00:07:49,802
Scientists around the world celebrated
the discovery of the God particle
126
00:07:49,856 --> 00:07:52,492
as a milestone in human knowledge
127
00:07:52,539 --> 00:07:57,184
and thought that it's going to open up
new layers of our understanding of reality.
128
00:07:58,342 --> 00:08:01,548
But just what is the
so-called "God particle"?
129
00:08:02,088 --> 00:08:05,216
And what is it telling
us about the universe?
130
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:10,003
Known in the scientific
community as the Higgs boson,
131
00:08:10,441 --> 00:08:16,417
the particle was first theorized
by physicist Peter Higgs in 1964.
132
00:08:17,535 --> 00:08:21,578
Its discovery confirms the
existence of an invisible force
133
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:25,292
throughout the universe
known as the Higgs field.
134
00:08:25,706 --> 00:08:29,468
Scientists believe when particles
interact with this field,
135
00:08:29,499 --> 00:08:32,885
they acquire mass, which slows them down,
136
00:08:33,005 --> 00:08:37,124
and allows them to form matter
such as planets and stars.
137
00:08:37,244 --> 00:08:39,353
An image that's often used
138
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,568
is ping-pong balls moving
through sand or sugar.
139
00:08:42,607 --> 00:08:44,186
Sometimes they're pushed down real deep.
140
00:08:44,194 --> 00:08:45,899
Sometimes they're on top of the sand.
141
00:08:45,938 --> 00:08:47,752
If you're on top, you move around quickly.
142
00:08:47,784 --> 00:08:49,825
If you're deep in, you move slowly.
143
00:08:49,856 --> 00:08:51,717
And that interaction
144
00:08:51,749 --> 00:08:55,729
with this other Higgs particle is
what gives other particles their mass.
145
00:08:56,722 --> 00:09:01,290
You really can't overemphasize
the importance of finally saying
146
00:09:01,339 --> 00:09:03,277
there is a Higgs particle
147
00:09:03,331 --> 00:09:06,319
and that we really are on the right track.
148
00:09:08,446 --> 00:09:12,004
There's great excitement in the scientific
community because the Higgs field
149
00:09:12,028 --> 00:09:14,241
permeates all of space-time.
150
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:18,120
It's possible, theoretically,
151
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:21,404
to effectively switch
off the mass of particles
152
00:09:21,436 --> 00:09:25,143
and achieve near-light speed very easily.
153
00:09:25,416 --> 00:09:27,919
This could open up not only the planets,
154
00:09:27,927 --> 00:09:30,930
but the stars to human exploration.
155
00:09:35,583 --> 00:09:39,156
Whether it's through
science, religion, philosophy
156
00:09:39,172 --> 00:09:42,057
or the ancient astronaut
theory, the fact is
157
00:09:42,177 --> 00:09:45,835
we are all seeking answers
to the same questions.
158
00:09:45,850 --> 00:09:47,017
Who are we?
159
00:09:47,084 --> 00:09:48,486
Where do we come from?
160
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:49,429
And ultimately
161
00:09:49,432 --> 00:09:50,520
where are are we going?
162
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,873
And so we celebrate a discovery
163
00:09:52,927 --> 00:09:55,476
like the Higgs boson or "God particle"
164
00:09:55,492 --> 00:09:58,667
because it brings us that much closer
165
00:09:58,691 --> 00:10:02,546
to answering the questions
that have fascinated humanity
166
00:10:02,585 --> 00:10:05,268
for thousands of years.
167
00:10:07,747 --> 00:10:11,853
Scientists believe that the
discovery of this tiny particle
168
00:10:11,973 --> 00:10:14,200
could represent a quantum leap
169
00:10:14,223 --> 00:10:17,156
in our understanding of the universe.
170
00:10:19,408 --> 00:10:22,755
Some have even proposed
that it could open the door
171
00:10:22,787 --> 00:10:24,984
to anti-gravity technology,
172
00:10:25,015 --> 00:10:27,236
travel at the speed of light,
173
00:10:27,244 --> 00:10:29,934
and the creation of wormholes.
174
00:10:30,928 --> 00:10:33,983
However, ancient astronaut theorists
175
00:10:33,984 --> 00:10:35,971
propose that the God particle
176
00:10:35,994 --> 00:10:39,553
is not a new discovery, but rather
177
00:10:39,592 --> 00:10:41,242
a rediscovery.
178
00:10:47,522 --> 00:10:49,462
Chandigarh, India.
179
00:10:50,729 --> 00:10:54,780
This thriving city at the
foot of the towering Himalayas
180
00:10:54,827 --> 00:10:58,174
is the capital of India's Punjab state.
181
00:10:58,369 --> 00:11:01,287
It was in this region of Northwest India
182
00:11:01,326 --> 00:11:05,924
that scholars believe a series of
religious texts called the Vedas
183
00:11:05,963 --> 00:11:10,765
were compiled from oral stories that
had been passed down for centuries.
184
00:11:11,508 --> 00:11:12,900
The Vedas,
185
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,012
according to the Indian tradition itself,
186
00:11:15,043 --> 00:11:19,126
were put together in the final
form about 5,000 years ago.
187
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:20,901
But these hymns
188
00:11:20,925 --> 00:11:25,023
had been circulating in the
Indian region for a long time.
189
00:11:25,038 --> 00:11:26,461
We do know
190
00:11:26,581 --> 00:11:28,956
that not a single letter
191
00:11:29,003 --> 00:11:31,599
of the four Vedas has changed,
192
00:11:32,264 --> 00:11:34,554
unlike any other texts in the world.
193
00:11:34,993 --> 00:11:37,167
So, there was a belief
194
00:11:37,222 --> 00:11:41,209
that the text of the Vedas
should not be tampered with
195
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:44,244
because they represent the entire cosmos.
196
00:11:45,511 --> 00:11:47,709
In the Hindu lore,
197
00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:50,227
the Vedas are not of Earthly origin.
198
00:11:50,347 --> 00:11:52,112
They are from mysterious sources.
199
00:11:52,125 --> 00:11:54,060
And they are from before time.
200
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:56,257
They are from before human history
201
00:11:56,377 --> 00:12:00,934
and are said to be from
before even the gods.
202
00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:05,579
Major figures in modern science
were ardent students of the Vedas.
203
00:12:05,595 --> 00:12:08,731
Bohrs and Schrodinger read arduously.
204
00:12:08,786 --> 00:12:11,281
Oppenheimer could read it in Sanskrit.
205
00:12:11,813 --> 00:12:14,582
Even Einstein and Tesla
were known to have read it.
206
00:12:14,597 --> 00:12:18,570
It had a profound influence
on modern thinking.
207
00:12:21,949 --> 00:12:24,264
Inside these ancient tomes
208
00:12:24,287 --> 00:12:27,455
are Hinduism's first stories of creation.
209
00:12:28,291 --> 00:12:31,568
In one Vedic text called the Rig Veda,
210
00:12:31,638 --> 00:12:34,290
creation was said to have begun suddenly
211
00:12:34,298 --> 00:12:39,107
and explosively from an
infinitesimal point of pure energy.
212
00:12:39,451 --> 00:12:43,010
It describes this strange cosmic egg
213
00:12:43,065 --> 00:12:46,092
that begins as a single concentrated point.
214
00:12:46,212 --> 00:12:50,518
And everything expanded from
this single concentrated point
215
00:12:50,549 --> 00:12:52,379
to form the universe.
216
00:12:52,419 --> 00:12:55,710
Now, if you look at this
from a modern perspective,
217
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:59,418
this actually reflects modern
science's big bang theory,
218
00:12:59,459 --> 00:13:02,843
where the universe began as a singularity
219
00:13:03,321 --> 00:13:07,387
and expanded to form the
universe as we know it today.
220
00:13:07,638 --> 00:13:10,907
To me, the similarities are astounding.
221
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:15,982
It's not like this idea was just
banging around for anybody to see.
222
00:13:16,102 --> 00:13:19,572
It was a concept that our
scientists didn't start to embrace
223
00:13:19,627 --> 00:13:21,715
until the 20th century.
224
00:13:21,754 --> 00:13:25,179
And yet it was already there in these texts
225
00:13:25,203 --> 00:13:29,465
that are at least 3,000
years old, if not much older.
226
00:13:29,793 --> 00:13:33,155
What is remarkable in the Vedas
227
00:13:33,156 --> 00:13:38,560
is that they were able to
come to an understanding,
228
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:42,759
which is very similar to the understanding
that modern science has reached
229
00:13:42,806 --> 00:13:48,242
through the intuitions of our
great contemporary scientists.
230
00:13:50,134 --> 00:13:51,674
Is it really possible
231
00:13:51,690 --> 00:13:54,795
that the Hindu creation
story from the Rig Veda
232
00:13:54,810 --> 00:13:58,611
is evidence that people
living thousands of years ago
233
00:13:58,643 --> 00:14:02,193
may have had knowledge of
the precise scientific process
234
00:14:02,248 --> 00:14:05,220
involved in the creation of the universe?
235
00:14:05,932 --> 00:14:11,664
A process modern scientists are
only just beginning to understand?
236
00:14:13,072 --> 00:14:16,168
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
237
00:14:16,176 --> 00:14:18,796
and believe that further proof can be found
238
00:14:18,843 --> 00:14:21,620
in another early creation story...
239
00:14:21,659 --> 00:14:24,842
the Hebrew bible's Book of Genesis.
240
00:14:27,947 --> 00:14:31,270
One of the first phrases in
Genesis: "Let there be light."
241
00:14:31,544 --> 00:14:34,954
And this is like the
moment of the big bang.
242
00:14:35,287 --> 00:14:39,767
The whole universe began
effectively as light, as energy.
243
00:14:40,361 --> 00:14:43,089
We're speaking of moments of existence
244
00:14:43,352 --> 00:14:47,144
that humans would experience
just as a great flash of light.
245
00:14:47,958 --> 00:14:49,872
And in that sense,
246
00:14:49,922 --> 00:14:53,963
the story of Genesis in the
Bible and science converge.
247
00:14:55,064 --> 00:14:59,363
We have in this verse the
description of the very first light,
248
00:14:59,419 --> 00:15:02,128
the light out of which all things came,
249
00:15:02,248 --> 00:15:04,762
the light which led, finally, to matter,
250
00:15:04,787 --> 00:15:08,034
to things of substance,
to the universe itself.
251
00:15:08,453 --> 00:15:10,888
In current scientific theory,
252
00:15:11,125 --> 00:15:13,678
fractions of a second after the big bang,
253
00:15:13,697 --> 00:15:18,171
the Higgs field transformed what had
been particles of light into mass,
254
00:15:18,234 --> 00:15:20,880
matter into creation itself.
255
00:15:20,905 --> 00:15:24,370
We have very strong
parallels with the Scriptures.
256
00:15:25,002 --> 00:15:28,412
First, light and then matter.
257
00:15:32,798 --> 00:15:37,229
Similar descriptions of the universe
beginning from a single point of light
258
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:41,064
can be found in cultures
throughout the ancient world,
259
00:15:41,733 --> 00:15:43,641
from Egypt to China
260
00:15:43,703 --> 00:15:46,062
and to the American Southwest.
261
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:50,123
In the Egyptian creation narrative,
262
00:15:50,173 --> 00:15:53,025
the very first god was Atum.
263
00:15:53,207 --> 00:15:58,187
He emerged from the darkness
to create Egyptian civilization.
264
00:15:59,407 --> 00:16:02,004
The Sumerian, the Egyptian, the Norse...
265
00:16:02,035 --> 00:16:04,988
something emerges out of darkness.
266
00:16:05,001 --> 00:16:07,585
Order emerges out of chaos.
267
00:16:07,598 --> 00:16:10,964
Where there was no form, form begins.
268
00:16:11,158 --> 00:16:13,510
There is something about these stories
269
00:16:13,522 --> 00:16:15,718
that is beyond any one of them
270
00:16:15,756 --> 00:16:19,828
that seems to allude to a greater reality.
271
00:16:23,001 --> 00:16:27,205
But how is it that the ancient
world's most sacred texts
272
00:16:27,325 --> 00:16:30,676
all describe creation in much the same way
273
00:16:30,796 --> 00:16:33,454
as our current scientific theory?
274
00:16:33,998 --> 00:16:36,037
And where did our ancestors
275
00:16:36,038 --> 00:16:38,584
get this seemingly advanced understanding
276
00:16:38,609 --> 00:16:41,099
of the origins of the universe?
277
00:16:41,414 --> 00:16:43,408
Ancient astronaut theorists
278
00:16:43,452 --> 00:16:45,353
believe the answers may lie
279
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:49,064
in the stories of the man
who compiled the Vedic texts
280
00:16:49,076 --> 00:16:50,477
in written form,
281
00:16:50,597 --> 00:16:54,131
a mysterious sage named Veda Vyasa.
282
00:16:55,477 --> 00:16:58,349
In the Hindu mythologies, Vyasa is believed
283
00:16:58,355 --> 00:17:01,328
to be a reincarnation of the god Vishnu,
284
00:17:01,448 --> 00:17:04,875
and that Vishnu specifically
took on a human embodiment
285
00:17:04,995 --> 00:17:09,166
to be able to write
down these classic texts.
286
00:17:09,342 --> 00:17:13,271
This sage, Vyasa, who is
the author of the Vedas
287
00:17:13,391 --> 00:17:15,649
was said to be an immortal.
288
00:17:15,769 --> 00:17:19,672
And, ultimately, one of the gods himself.
289
00:17:20,730 --> 00:17:23,696
Some have suggested
that Vyasa came to Earth
290
00:17:23,721 --> 00:17:27,662
to record and impart this
Vedic knowledge to mankind.
291
00:17:28,944 --> 00:17:33,249
Now, could it be possible that
he was in fact an extraterrestrial
292
00:17:33,293 --> 00:17:37,591
who came here with the direct
mission to bring knowledge to mankind
293
00:17:37,885 --> 00:17:41,859
and guide them in their
understanding of science and physics?
294
00:17:43,585 --> 00:17:45,250
Could Veda Vyasa
295
00:17:45,287 --> 00:17:48,152
really have been an extraterrestrial?
296
00:17:49,153 --> 00:17:51,456
And might he have educated mankind
297
00:17:51,481 --> 00:17:53,558
about the workings of the universe
298
00:17:53,589 --> 00:17:56,962
thousands of years before
the Large Hadron Collider
299
00:17:56,980 --> 00:17:59,089
was ever even constructed?
300
00:17:59,270 --> 00:18:01,748
But if so, why?
301
00:18:03,556 --> 00:18:07,622
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
further evidence can be found
302
00:18:07,742 --> 00:18:10,219
in the stories of a Greek scientist
303
00:18:10,725 --> 00:18:13,860
2,500 years ahead of his time.
304
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:23,789
The Thracian coast, Greece.
305
00:18:24,584 --> 00:18:27,161
At the northern end of the Aegean Sea
306
00:18:27,281 --> 00:18:30,490
lie the ruins of an ancient metropolis.
307
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:32,849
2,500 years ago,
308
00:18:32,969 --> 00:18:37,034
Abdera was a thriving
seaport and trading center.
309
00:18:37,428 --> 00:18:41,082
It was a wealthy hub of
commerce between empires
310
00:18:41,132 --> 00:18:44,798
and the home of one of
history's greatest thinkers:
311
00:18:44,979 --> 00:18:46,350
Democritus.
312
00:18:47,275 --> 00:18:49,839
Democritus was a Greek philosopher
313
00:18:49,864 --> 00:18:52,504
in the fifth century before the Common Era.
314
00:18:52,542 --> 00:18:55,883
He was not just a philosopher,
but a scientific theorist.
315
00:18:55,902 --> 00:18:58,643
In fact, his great gifts have led him to be
316
00:18:58,674 --> 00:19:01,640
revered as the father of modern science.
317
00:19:05,362 --> 00:19:08,403
Democritus was born to a wealthy family
318
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:11,231
and educated by Persian Magi...
319
00:19:11,613 --> 00:19:15,323
learned priests who were
said to control the fates.
320
00:19:16,650 --> 00:19:20,028
It was believed that he
was trained by the magi,
321
00:19:20,148 --> 00:19:22,348
these priests of the east,
322
00:19:22,468 --> 00:19:26,934
and that he also traveled
to Egypt and to Babylon
323
00:19:27,002 --> 00:19:30,631
and studied with the secret masters
324
00:19:30,668 --> 00:19:35,041
who had these ancient wisdom
teachings hidden in their lineage.
325
00:19:35,941 --> 00:19:39,582
Democritus traveled quite a bit and,
326
00:19:39,702 --> 00:19:43,829
through his travels, learned,
uh, quite a lot traveling east
327
00:19:43,949 --> 00:19:46,951
through... in what we
call the Ancient Near East
328
00:19:46,977 --> 00:19:49,261
studying with the Magi
329
00:19:49,286 --> 00:19:52,095
and studying with Chaldeans who were
330
00:19:52,145 --> 00:19:55,611
known for their magical,
mysterious learnings
331
00:19:55,629 --> 00:19:59,465
and their magical,
mysterious knowledge as well.
332
00:20:04,526 --> 00:20:07,838
Through his travels and
his interactions with people
333
00:20:07,866 --> 00:20:10,329
said to have mysterious knowledge,
334
00:20:10,366 --> 00:20:12,820
the young philosopher and mathematician
335
00:20:12,829 --> 00:20:17,175
came up with a radical theory
concerning all matter in the universe.
336
00:20:18,430 --> 00:20:21,235
Democritus theorized that everything...
337
00:20:21,253 --> 00:20:25,027
people, plants, stone and sun...
338
00:20:25,147 --> 00:20:30,886
were made of the same stuff:
tiny particles he called "atomos."
339
00:20:31,402 --> 00:20:34,973
He developed an early
version of the atomic theory.
340
00:20:35,093 --> 00:20:40,462
It is an early theory of everything in the
world being made up of these very, very small,
341
00:20:40,485 --> 00:20:44,919
invisible particles which
Democritus then called atoms.
342
00:20:45,122 --> 00:20:48,784
Democritus argued that there's
a fundamental building block.
343
00:20:48,812 --> 00:20:51,396
Even though we couldn't see
them, that was the theory,
344
00:20:51,414 --> 00:20:54,763
the philosophical theory
that was in Ancient Greece.
345
00:20:54,773 --> 00:20:56,793
This is long before science.
346
00:20:56,913 --> 00:20:59,275
When Democritus was talking about atoms,
347
00:20:59,303 --> 00:21:01,905
it's amazing how close he
got to what we really know.
348
00:21:01,923 --> 00:21:03,887
What he was motivated by
349
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:06,813
was the idea that if you cut something up,
350
00:21:06,831 --> 00:21:09,156
the pieces still have the same properties.
351
00:21:09,157 --> 00:21:12,792
And so he just did the thought experiment...
well, if I keep cutting it smaller,
352
00:21:12,912 --> 00:21:15,975
then eventually, I'll have
the smallest possible piece,
353
00:21:15,984 --> 00:21:17,211
and that's the atom.
354
00:21:17,230 --> 00:21:19,167
And that's what gives it its properties.
355
00:21:19,287 --> 00:21:21,372
That's basically our
picture of matter now...
356
00:21:21,382 --> 00:21:24,537
that smallest piece is the
protons, neutrons, and the electron
357
00:21:24,556 --> 00:21:26,954
that make up the atom.
358
00:21:30,414 --> 00:21:34,668
What Democritus articulated 2,500 years ago
359
00:21:34,677 --> 00:21:38,995
is remarkably similar to today's
Standard Model of physics...
360
00:21:39,263 --> 00:21:44,254
the basis of our search for the
Higgs boson, or God particle.
361
00:21:45,490 --> 00:21:48,682
But how could Democritus
have known about the atom
362
00:21:48,701 --> 00:21:51,017
and the forces that govern it?
363
00:21:51,358 --> 00:21:55,241
Could it be that Democritus
had access to advanced
364
00:21:55,269 --> 00:21:58,765
and perhaps even
extraterrestrial information
365
00:21:58,775 --> 00:22:01,432
about the quantum realm?
366
00:22:01,552 --> 00:22:06,145
Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe that the answer may lie
367
00:22:06,146 --> 00:22:09,947
in an even more radical
suggestion Democritus made
368
00:22:09,966 --> 00:22:12,079
about the cosmos.
369
00:22:12,199 --> 00:22:17,171
In his writings, Democritus
proposed that there are many worlds
370
00:22:17,199 --> 00:22:20,520
and that these worlds even sustained life.
371
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,362
Now, could it be that by "other worlds"
372
00:22:23,388 --> 00:22:27,791
he was maybe even referring
to parallel universes?
373
00:22:27,911 --> 00:22:32,358
As we fast forward from
Democritus to the more current era,
374
00:22:32,579 --> 00:22:37,737
where the idea of parallel universes have
really taken off is the multi-universe view,
375
00:22:37,755 --> 00:22:40,513
where all possible universes has occurred.
376
00:22:40,523 --> 00:22:45,025
This is very similar to Democritus's
idea of making all possible universes.
377
00:22:45,062 --> 00:22:47,534
But now they're very
much next to each other,
378
00:22:47,562 --> 00:22:50,579
parallel in space, as
well as occurring in time.
379
00:22:53,494 --> 00:22:58,439
Some cosmologists today believe
our universe is one of many,
380
00:22:59,141 --> 00:23:04,575
and that the God particle could lead
us to discovering these other universes.
381
00:23:06,189 --> 00:23:09,981
Is it possible that Democritus
had knowledge of this
382
00:23:10,009 --> 00:23:13,118
2,500 years ago?
383
00:23:13,238 --> 00:23:18,238
And might that information have come
to him not only from a different world,
384
00:23:18,358 --> 00:23:22,132
but perhaps a different universe?
385
00:23:22,778 --> 00:23:27,419
Democritus claimed to communicate with
what he thought were parallel worlds.
386
00:23:27,446 --> 00:23:31,660
He sometimes would exercise his
energy by going into places of the dead
387
00:23:31,723 --> 00:23:33,824
and would receive what he thought were
388
00:23:33,849 --> 00:23:35,551
voices and information
389
00:23:35,564 --> 00:23:37,503
which would predict the future.
390
00:23:37,922 --> 00:23:40,706
Some accounts of Democritus describe him
391
00:23:40,707 --> 00:23:43,910
as having access to magical powers
392
00:23:43,935 --> 00:23:49,141
with which he could control the
weather and predict natural disasters.
393
00:23:49,829 --> 00:23:54,953
He also allegedly communicated with
what he referred to as other worlds.
394
00:23:55,073 --> 00:23:57,530
And he described images and voices
395
00:23:57,555 --> 00:24:01,359
that came to him giving him
all sorts of information.
396
00:24:02,304 --> 00:24:05,469
Is it possible that
the priests of the magi,
397
00:24:05,589 --> 00:24:08,566
the priests of the Egyptian mystery schools
398
00:24:08,616 --> 00:24:10,393
and the priests of Babylon
399
00:24:10,430 --> 00:24:13,677
taught him some form of ancient practice
400
00:24:13,715 --> 00:24:17,763
that allows the human body
to become an instrument
401
00:24:17,775 --> 00:24:20,678
to connect directly on a telepathic level
402
00:24:20,740 --> 00:24:23,005
with extraterrestrial beings?
403
00:24:23,305 --> 00:24:25,777
The more that we draw forth in science,
404
00:24:25,897 --> 00:24:29,074
we're going to discover
the truths of the past
405
00:24:29,111 --> 00:24:31,295
that have long been hidden from us.
406
00:24:31,415 --> 00:24:34,950
Yes, mankind has been
directed from the beginning.
407
00:24:38,316 --> 00:24:42,082
But did Democritus truly
understand atomic theory
408
00:24:42,483 --> 00:24:45,149
and the concept of multiple universes
409
00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:48,796
all the way back in the fifth century B.C.?
410
00:24:49,366 --> 00:24:53,896
Or is it possible... as some ancient
astronaut theorists suggest...
411
00:24:54,278 --> 00:24:56,775
that he was simply documenting information
412
00:24:56,895 --> 00:25:00,141
passed on to him by more advanced beings?
413
00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:03,288
Clues about our universe
414
00:25:03,332 --> 00:25:07,386
deliberately left for
us to discover over time?
415
00:25:07,717 --> 00:25:10,132
Perhaps the answer can be found
416
00:25:10,189 --> 00:25:13,148
by looking at the discovery
of the God particle
417
00:25:13,211 --> 00:25:16,576
and its connection to the Mayan calendar.
418
00:25:21,175 --> 00:25:23,177
Palenque, Mexico.
419
00:25:23,752 --> 00:25:26,424
These majestic stone ruins
420
00:25:26,467 --> 00:25:30,384
are all that remain of the
once powerful Mayan city.
421
00:25:31,385 --> 00:25:33,675
With its towering stone pyramids
422
00:25:33,693 --> 00:25:36,414
and ornate plazas, Palenque
423
00:25:36,534 --> 00:25:40,819
reveals the true sophistication
of the Mayan civilization.
424
00:25:41,616 --> 00:25:45,549
In terms of scientific
and artistic achievements,
425
00:25:45,555 --> 00:25:50,836
the Maya were among the world's
best ancient civilizations.
426
00:25:51,130 --> 00:25:55,366
Their advancements in math, engineering,
427
00:25:55,597 --> 00:26:01,446
astronomy, geometry were
unparalleled in the entire Americas.
428
00:26:05,238 --> 00:26:07,591
It was in this ancient Mayan city
429
00:26:07,711 --> 00:26:12,910
that researchers have unearthed one of
the best examples of a remarkable calendar
430
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:15,838
that tracked not only days and months,
431
00:26:15,906 --> 00:26:19,867
but also ages spanning thousands of years.
432
00:26:20,974 --> 00:26:26,918
The Maya were very, very intent
on recording the passage of time,
433
00:26:27,038 --> 00:26:30,815
so much so that early scholars
called the entire culture
434
00:26:30,865 --> 00:26:33,186
esoteric time worshippers.
435
00:26:33,243 --> 00:26:36,177
They had a number of calendrical cycles.
436
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,862
One of the last ones they
made we call the long count.
437
00:26:40,194 --> 00:26:44,486
To the Western mind, you could look
at it as the odometer on your car.
438
00:26:44,517 --> 00:26:47,307
It clicks through time,
439
00:26:47,427 --> 00:26:53,188
and scholars have a difference of opinion
whether it is a cycle that will reset itself
440
00:26:53,308 --> 00:26:58,124
or whether it is a system that can go
backwards and forwards into perpetuity.
441
00:27:02,191 --> 00:27:07,616
The Mayans were obsessed with the
idea of time cycles and worlds.
442
00:27:07,634 --> 00:27:11,088
They believed that we had
existed in three previous worlds
443
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:14,966
and that they could forecast or
predict the emergence of a new world.
444
00:27:15,023 --> 00:27:17,093
That was the purpose of the Mayan calendar,
445
00:27:17,112 --> 00:27:19,921
was to pinpoint a specific date and time
446
00:27:20,041 --> 00:27:24,044
when one world would end
and a new world would begin.
447
00:27:28,229 --> 00:27:33,573
The Mayan calendar last
turned on December 21, 2012.
448
00:27:34,705 --> 00:27:37,327
Thousands of people from around the world
449
00:27:37,346 --> 00:27:40,906
descended on Mayan sites to mark the event.
450
00:27:42,683 --> 00:27:46,862
Some, however, saw dire
omens in the occasion.
451
00:27:47,913 --> 00:27:50,791
The Mayan prediction
of the end of the world
452
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:54,395
in December 2012 caused a firestorm of
453
00:27:54,515 --> 00:27:59,337
prophecy watchers and people believing
that it was actually doomsday.
454
00:27:59,457 --> 00:28:01,033
But, as we know now,
455
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:04,724
nothing of that nature
actually happened at that time.
456
00:28:07,083 --> 00:28:10,456
If it wasn't a doomsday
clock as many believed,
457
00:28:11,006 --> 00:28:14,541
then just what was this
ancient calendar predicting?
458
00:28:17,801 --> 00:28:20,241
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
459
00:28:20,285 --> 00:28:23,200
it may have in fact been counting down,
460
00:28:23,411 --> 00:28:25,477
not to the end of the world,
461
00:28:25,546 --> 00:28:29,826
but to the dawn of a
new era in human history.
462
00:28:31,021 --> 00:28:33,792
The Mayans never said
it was gonna be doomsday.
463
00:28:33,792 --> 00:28:37,296
They simply said it would
be a new moment of creation.
464
00:28:37,703 --> 00:28:42,262
Maybe the Mayan calendar predicted
a monumental leap forward,
465
00:28:42,330 --> 00:28:46,274
a transition that would
lead us into a whole new era
466
00:28:46,299 --> 00:28:49,217
of scientific understanding
and possibility.
467
00:28:50,873 --> 00:28:54,295
What did happen was we
discovered the God particle,
468
00:28:54,357 --> 00:28:55,753
the Higgs boson.
469
00:28:55,984 --> 00:29:00,195
So perhaps what the Mayan
calendar was trying to predict
470
00:29:00,245 --> 00:29:03,442
was not some terrible catastrophe,
471
00:29:03,479 --> 00:29:06,733
but our own very important discovery
472
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,353
of the God particle
473
00:29:08,672 --> 00:29:10,411
and how...
474
00:29:10,805 --> 00:29:14,521
we can use this to understand
our place in the universe.
475
00:29:19,865 --> 00:29:24,075
If the Maya did indeed predict
the discovery of the God particle,
476
00:29:24,325 --> 00:29:26,164
did they also leave a clue
477
00:29:26,195 --> 00:29:28,810
as to where this knowledge will take us?
478
00:29:30,575 --> 00:29:34,805
Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer may be found
479
00:29:34,925 --> 00:29:40,092
480 miles north on carved
blocks of hard volcanic andesite
480
00:29:40,417 --> 00:29:44,253
at another Mayan
archaeological site in Izapa.
481
00:29:45,316 --> 00:29:46,942
On Stela 5,
482
00:29:46,986 --> 00:29:49,845
there is a depiction of a mythological tree
483
00:29:49,895 --> 00:29:54,331
that the Maya believed connected
the cosmos and the Earth.
484
00:29:56,408 --> 00:30:00,957
For the Maya, the world tree
bridged the seen and the unseen,
485
00:30:00,975 --> 00:30:03,915
the celestial and the earthly.
486
00:30:04,335 --> 00:30:08,770
The Mayans believed the tree
exuded a kind of syrup or sap
487
00:30:08,795 --> 00:30:11,780
called the itz. It had qualities that
488
00:30:11,824 --> 00:30:16,610
allowed portals to open to make
contact with unseen dimensions.
489
00:30:16,622 --> 00:30:20,726
It was the key, if you
will, to other worlds.
490
00:30:23,767 --> 00:30:26,826
The Mayans talked about
this type of cosmic ooze
491
00:30:26,889 --> 00:30:30,204
that they thought literally
emanated from the world tree.
492
00:30:30,211 --> 00:30:33,921
The itz actually opened
up portals to other worlds.
493
00:30:34,102 --> 00:30:37,506
Maybe they're talking about
some type of advanced energy
494
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:39,697
that they didn't directly have access to,
495
00:30:39,740 --> 00:30:42,168
but had the understandings and teachings
496
00:30:42,199 --> 00:30:44,651
possibly taught to them
by extraterrestrials.
497
00:30:46,309 --> 00:30:50,170
When I looked at the
symbolism of the sacred tree,
498
00:30:50,290 --> 00:30:53,280
I got to thinking, what if that sap is the
499
00:30:53,323 --> 00:30:55,882
Higgs boson, the God particle?
500
00:30:55,939 --> 00:31:00,530
And you have scientists saying
that it could potentially lead to
501
00:31:00,650 --> 00:31:05,104
time travel and our ability
to create tiny wormholes.
502
00:31:06,492 --> 00:31:11,998
Now, is it possible that we can use
the discovery of the God particle
503
00:31:12,036 --> 00:31:16,046
and the Higgs boson to understand
our place in the universe
504
00:31:16,103 --> 00:31:21,101
and even to teleport and
travel through time and space?
505
00:31:23,328 --> 00:31:29,122
Was the Mayan calendar devised to
predict the discovery of the God particle?
506
00:31:30,248 --> 00:31:34,547
And if so, could this mean
that we are getting closer
507
00:31:34,578 --> 00:31:40,096
to a reconnection with alien
beings that visited Earth long ago?
508
00:31:41,654 --> 00:31:44,194
Some ancient astronaut theorists
509
00:31:44,207 --> 00:31:46,540
believe another clue may be found
510
00:31:46,660 --> 00:31:51,014
just outside the entrance
to the Large Hadron Collider
511
00:31:51,220 --> 00:31:53,867
with the statue of Shiva.
512
00:31:58,777 --> 00:32:00,886
Geneva, Switzerland.
513
00:32:02,457 --> 00:32:06,380
Outside the headquarters of
CERN's Large Hadron Collider
514
00:32:06,405 --> 00:32:09,877
is a 12-foot statue of the Shiva Nataraja,
515
00:32:09,997 --> 00:32:12,417
or the Dancing Shiva,
516
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:15,864
one of Hinduism's most powerful gods.
517
00:32:17,384 --> 00:32:21,438
Lord Shiva is one of the three
great gods of the Hindu teaching.
518
00:32:21,463 --> 00:32:23,759
He is the god of destruction.
519
00:32:24,235 --> 00:32:27,626
His job is to destroy, but
it is in order to renew.
520
00:32:27,632 --> 00:32:30,829
He destroys and creates.
521
00:32:31,742 --> 00:32:36,985
His energy, the dance... he's considered
the lord of the dance, a cosmic dance,
522
00:32:37,010 --> 00:32:41,108
and it is the dance of
destruction and recreation.
523
00:32:43,291 --> 00:32:46,232
God Shiva is a complex character.
524
00:32:46,352 --> 00:32:49,397
It's very difficult to
understand Shiva in one...
525
00:32:49,435 --> 00:32:51,174
uh, in one word,
526
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:53,908
because he is the god of procreation,
527
00:32:54,028 --> 00:32:56,580
and he is also the god of destruction.
528
00:32:56,592 --> 00:32:58,676
He is also the god that
destroys everything,
529
00:32:58,714 --> 00:33:01,966
because everything that is
created must come to an end.
530
00:33:07,459 --> 00:33:09,599
According to Hindu mythology,
531
00:33:09,905 --> 00:33:13,540
Shiva is the god who will
one day destroy the universe
532
00:33:13,540 --> 00:33:15,968
to make way for a new one.
533
00:33:16,374 --> 00:33:19,734
Shiva's cosmic dance is
not seen as a negative,
534
00:33:19,753 --> 00:33:22,243
even though it is greatly destructive.
535
00:33:23,401 --> 00:33:28,267
It is destroying in order for
something new to be created.
536
00:33:28,387 --> 00:33:33,153
So it is an essential part of the process
of life that things are cleared away
537
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:37,915
so new things, new possibilities,
better possibilities can emerge.
538
00:33:39,523 --> 00:33:44,046
But could the various attributes
associated with this Hindu god
539
00:33:44,285 --> 00:33:46,768
be connected to a recent discovery
540
00:33:46,793 --> 00:33:49,389
made at the Large Hadron Collider
541
00:33:49,445 --> 00:33:54,375
about how our universe could
suddenly and catastrophically end?
542
00:33:56,509 --> 00:34:01,722
One of the intriguing outcomes of
the Higgs boson mass measurement
543
00:34:01,842 --> 00:34:05,982
is the realization that the Higgs boson
544
00:34:06,001 --> 00:34:08,272
and the top quark
545
00:34:08,297 --> 00:34:11,820
may put us right on the ragged edge
546
00:34:11,845 --> 00:34:15,292
of an instability
condition in the universe.
547
00:34:15,849 --> 00:34:19,677
The universe can exist in
several different states.
548
00:34:20,347 --> 00:34:21,254
Water.
549
00:34:21,435 --> 00:34:26,422
It can exist as steam, as
liquid water, frozen ice.
550
00:34:27,347 --> 00:34:30,356
If the universe changes state,
551
00:34:30,476 --> 00:34:33,973
it would produce bubbles of space-time
552
00:34:34,093 --> 00:34:36,531
expanding at the speed of light
553
00:34:36,594 --> 00:34:38,408
that could destroy everything,
554
00:34:38,421 --> 00:34:40,905
all normal matter, all everything
555
00:34:40,961 --> 00:34:43,101
in the universe as we know it.
556
00:34:45,666 --> 00:34:47,224
Some people are seeing theories
557
00:34:47,255 --> 00:34:50,051
that say there's going to be
expanding bubbles of nothingness
558
00:34:50,070 --> 00:34:52,016
that will create new...
whole new universes.
559
00:34:52,260 --> 00:34:56,482
And, in a sense, we know that
the universe has to be unstable
560
00:34:56,495 --> 00:34:59,122
because it made the big
bang in the first place.
561
00:35:04,660 --> 00:35:08,189
Could Shiva not only
be a mythological deity
562
00:35:08,257 --> 00:35:12,230
that represents the ancient Hindus'
understanding of the universe,
563
00:35:13,368 --> 00:35:17,129
but might he also have
been an otherworldly being
564
00:35:17,249 --> 00:35:20,025
who passed on information to our ancestors
565
00:35:20,038 --> 00:35:22,709
that we are only now rediscovering?
566
00:35:23,254 --> 00:35:25,844
Maybe the great god Shiva, the destroyer,
567
00:35:25,882 --> 00:35:28,578
was actually trying to
communicate in ancient times
568
00:35:28,609 --> 00:35:30,505
things that we're learning today about
569
00:35:30,543 --> 00:35:34,053
breaking things down to the finest
particles and understanding that
570
00:35:34,084 --> 00:35:36,981
these are how we
understand the basis of life
571
00:35:37,018 --> 00:35:38,670
at a subatomic level.
572
00:35:39,439 --> 00:35:42,680
In Hindu tradition,
Shiva was often portrayed
573
00:35:42,705 --> 00:35:47,285
as blue-skinned with a third eye
in the middle of his forehead.
574
00:35:47,585 --> 00:35:50,989
And if you look at the different
depictions of Shiva's dance,
575
00:35:51,021 --> 00:35:57,965
you see that he is almost always surrounded by
some type of a circular structure with flames.
576
00:35:59,661 --> 00:36:02,383
We see parallels to technology where
577
00:36:02,402 --> 00:36:06,118
he's always depicted in this circle
when he's doing his cosmic dance.
578
00:36:06,238 --> 00:36:10,323
It seems very similar to what we
see at the Hadron Accelerator in this
579
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,745
large circular particle accelerator.
580
00:36:12,763 --> 00:36:17,068
Maybe there's some tie-in between Shiva
being depicted in a circular device
581
00:36:17,130 --> 00:36:20,471
and the way we're smashing particles
now in the Hadron Accelerator.
582
00:36:21,922 --> 00:36:25,113
Now, what did our human ancestor artists
583
00:36:25,151 --> 00:36:27,065
try to depict here?
584
00:36:27,447 --> 00:36:31,407
Do the accounts of his cosmic dance
585
00:36:32,214 --> 00:36:35,361
refer to some type of
misunderstood technology,
586
00:36:35,481 --> 00:36:38,977
very much similar to the
Large Hadron Collider?
587
00:36:40,273 --> 00:36:45,297
In the Catholic Mass, there is a
ceremonial artifact called a monstrance.
588
00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:51,221
If you look at this image, if you look
at this item, it has a burst of light.
589
00:36:51,265 --> 00:36:54,613
Very similar to the
pattern of Shiva's light,
590
00:36:54,619 --> 00:36:56,890
this dance of creation.
591
00:36:57,303 --> 00:37:03,491
Some say this shape can be seen
in the Hadron Collider at CERN.
592
00:37:07,307 --> 00:37:10,116
Does this suggest that
the invention of tools,
593
00:37:10,116 --> 00:37:12,124
like the Large Hadron Collider,
594
00:37:12,161 --> 00:37:14,627
are happening as part of a plan?
595
00:37:15,352 --> 00:37:19,013
Did celestial beings who came
to Earth in the distant past
596
00:37:19,194 --> 00:37:24,319
give early humans insights
into the origin of existence?
597
00:37:24,439 --> 00:37:28,398
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answers may be found
598
00:37:28,518 --> 00:37:31,557
not in what CERN has already uncovered,
599
00:37:31,763 --> 00:37:35,117
but in discoveries yet to come.
600
00:37:38,551 --> 00:37:40,472
CERN headquarters,
601
00:37:40,766 --> 00:37:42,630
Geneva, Switzerland.
602
00:37:44,657 --> 00:37:46,616
The Large Hadron Collider
603
00:37:46,647 --> 00:37:49,544
was heralded as a monumental success
604
00:37:49,575 --> 00:37:52,172
when it helped to discover the Higgs boson,
605
00:37:52,197 --> 00:37:55,319
or God particle, in 2012.
606
00:37:55,775 --> 00:37:58,753
But that was only the beginning.
607
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,133
Since then, researchers have
embarked on a multi-year project
608
00:38:03,253 --> 00:38:07,212
to upgrade what is already the
most powerful machine on Earth
609
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,765
by retrofitting it with bigger,
610
00:38:09,815 --> 00:38:13,394
better, and more efficient systems.
611
00:38:13,707 --> 00:38:18,993
When the Large Hadron Collider
is activated again in 2015,
612
00:38:19,113 --> 00:38:23,842
it will wield at least double
the power it did in 2012,
613
00:38:23,904 --> 00:38:28,966
and could boast even ten times
more by the end of the decade.
614
00:38:30,462 --> 00:38:33,278
When you look at the size of the detectors
615
00:38:33,398 --> 00:38:35,487
at the Large Hadron Collider,
616
00:38:35,537 --> 00:38:40,385
you realize that we really are
pushing the limits of technology.
617
00:38:41,136 --> 00:38:46,003
The Large Hadron Collider is something
like seven times more powerful
618
00:38:46,066 --> 00:38:49,163
than anything else that's existed before.
619
00:38:49,676 --> 00:38:55,582
We'll be even able to get even
closer to conditions in time,
620
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:58,779
even closer to the
beginning of the big bang.
621
00:39:01,545 --> 00:39:06,418
The work that is happening
right now during the LHC shutdown
622
00:39:06,474 --> 00:39:10,198
is to prepare the detectors
and the experiments
623
00:39:10,318 --> 00:39:12,688
for the big energy step.
624
00:39:12,976 --> 00:39:16,304
We are going into even more higher energy,
625
00:39:16,424 --> 00:39:21,096
and that means that we are probing deeper,
and we can be just around the corner
626
00:39:21,096 --> 00:39:26,069
of discovering something which
is completely blowing our minds.
627
00:39:27,052 --> 00:39:30,461
The human race is going
to be focusing more energy
628
00:39:30,581 --> 00:39:33,727
in a small area than
we've ever done before.
629
00:39:33,765 --> 00:39:36,518
So, we're looking for
a whole new phenomenon.
630
00:39:38,532 --> 00:39:40,609
The scientists at CERN
631
00:39:40,609 --> 00:39:45,227
hope that by increasing the
power of the Large Hadron Collider
632
00:39:45,471 --> 00:39:49,368
they will not only be able to
learn more about the God particle,
633
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:51,758
but also uncover other,
634
00:39:51,846 --> 00:39:56,132
perhaps even more profound
secrets of the universe.
635
00:39:56,394 --> 00:39:59,654
But some scientists have voiced concerns
636
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:01,625
that the Large Hadron Collider
637
00:40:01,688 --> 00:40:03,633
could create a black hole
638
00:40:03,652 --> 00:40:06,016
that would swallow up the Earth,
639
00:40:07,305 --> 00:40:10,177
set off a massive nuclear explosion,
640
00:40:10,465 --> 00:40:13,105
or even form a vacuum bubble
641
00:40:13,337 --> 00:40:16,784
that could tip the balance
of the entire universe.
642
00:40:19,331 --> 00:40:21,357
Perhaps this is a little hubris.
643
00:40:21,477 --> 00:40:24,324
And we all know what
happens when physicists
644
00:40:24,342 --> 00:40:26,144
get full... full of hubris.
645
00:40:26,264 --> 00:40:30,624
But there's always a little bit of fear when
you're pushing back the frontiers of science.
646
00:40:30,637 --> 00:40:32,977
It's part of the frontier spirit.
647
00:40:34,591 --> 00:40:37,788
We have to admit that we don't
know how the universe started.
648
00:40:37,813 --> 00:40:40,503
And as we go into higher
and higher energies,
649
00:40:40,541 --> 00:40:42,893
we don't know what we are going to find,
650
00:40:42,899 --> 00:40:47,385
because this physics at these levels is
an experimental, completely experimental,
651
00:40:47,404 --> 00:40:48,699
uh, science.
652
00:40:48,749 --> 00:40:53,278
We don't have the complete understanding
and description of the universe
653
00:40:53,329 --> 00:40:55,706
that can create this anxiety and fear
654
00:40:55,826 --> 00:40:59,792
that we might create something
that will end the universe.
655
00:41:00,318 --> 00:41:04,029
When we look at the experiments
that have been conducted at CERN
656
00:41:04,149 --> 00:41:06,181
with the Large Hadron Collider,
657
00:41:06,613 --> 00:41:10,892
it may be that humanity is
taking its first baby steps
658
00:41:10,955 --> 00:41:15,278
towards the actual
construction of the universe.
659
00:41:16,373 --> 00:41:19,670
We're manipulating matter
at the subatomic level.
660
00:41:19,790 --> 00:41:24,613
And we are literally harnessing
the forces of creation themselves.
661
00:41:24,857 --> 00:41:30,276
The amount of the universe
that we see and know
662
00:41:30,282 --> 00:41:33,216
that is part of the
standard model of physics
663
00:41:33,336 --> 00:41:37,357
is only, like, four percent
of the mass of the universe.
664
00:41:38,020 --> 00:41:41,199
We're going into vast, unknown territory.
665
00:41:41,224 --> 00:41:46,191
We're going to be witnessing events that
no human being has ever witnessed before,
666
00:41:46,216 --> 00:41:50,295
and energy density scales no human being
has ever been able to create before.
667
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:52,216
So it's very exciting.
668
00:41:52,336 --> 00:41:54,393
Who knows what we'll find?
669
00:41:57,778 --> 00:42:02,182
By wielding the incredible power
of the Large Hadron Collider,
670
00:42:02,420 --> 00:42:05,266
could we one day recreate the big bang
671
00:42:05,279 --> 00:42:08,544
to form an entirely new universe,
672
00:42:09,327 --> 00:42:11,203
and at the same time,
673
00:42:11,266 --> 00:42:13,280
destroy our own?
674
00:42:13,587 --> 00:42:19,367
Or might we instead be reaching the
threshold of a new age for mankind?
675
00:42:20,149 --> 00:42:24,886
If ancient astronauts came to our
planet hundreds of centuries ago,
676
00:42:25,006 --> 00:42:28,627
perhaps they deliberately
planted the seeds of knowledge
677
00:42:28,665 --> 00:42:32,094
that would eventually lead
us to where we are today.
678
00:42:33,451 --> 00:42:36,817
Perhaps finding the
so-called "God particle"
679
00:42:36,937 --> 00:42:42,354
will allow us to finally answer
mankind's most persistent questions.
680
00:42:42,611 --> 00:42:44,213
Who are we?
681
00:42:44,333 --> 00:42:46,571
Where did we come from?
682
00:42:46,621 --> 00:42:49,249
And the most persistent of all:
683
00:42:49,693 --> 00:42:51,795
Are we alone?
