@@Stellarffxi the building theory was proposed more than a decade ago, they brought the theorist an X-ray that they didn’t know what to make of at the time.
Wow... weren't muons like... incredibly hard to detect 10 years ago? And now we can scan stuff with them? Just amazing. Edit: How tf did I get 1k likes on a confused thought like this xD Muons were detected in the 1930s, not that difficult. I was thinking of neutrinos... those are still really hard to detect today.
Nah, I think you're thinking of neutrinos. Neutrinos interact with other matter _so seldom_ that you need a _huge_ amount of detection material just to spot _one_ out of the trillions that pass through. Muons are more like electrons, _relatively_ easy to spot. What makes them interesting and useful for _this_ purpose is that they're very rare in nature, because once created, they quickly decay into electrons. So if we spot one, we know 2 things with pretty high confidence: (a) it almost certainly was created by a cosmic ray from space; (b) it's moving very fast, and from the sky, not from below. (It has to be moving fast, because slower muons don't have time to get through the atmosphere to the earth's surface before they decay. _Most_ muons from those cosmic ray collisions don't make it this far.) (Neutrinos, muons, and electrons are all in a particle class called _leptons,_ but neutrinos are waaaaaaaaaay harder to spot than the others.)
I made by bachelors thesis about muon radiography. One thing to add: already in the 50s/60s the soviets did the very first muon radiographys. [Alexandrov 2017]
I remember when the documentary came out about the finding, where scientists from different parts of the world came and did these tests and scans, finding a void that had never been detected. Like a month later the documentary disappeared from RUclips. I couldn’t find it anywhere. That seemed strange to me that they would remove such a spectacular finding.
Just found you and my favorite thing is that you end on Optimism. The content is really cool and I'm super excited to see more. I just like your attitude and vibe the best.
This tech is also being used to map out the inside of Qin Shi Huang Di's tomb in China, and multiple archeological teams are looking for the funding to do it around ancient sites of all sorts, like the Hittite capital of Hattushas, and Troia. Edit: I should say China is WORKING to use this tech to map out the First Emperor's Tomb, I don't actually know how far along in the project they are.
@@Stroke999 The Chinese have been working like crazy to figure out other ways to scan inside, and they've used LIDAR to get a good idea of how they could use muon technologies to get a really good view inside part of it. Unfortunately, the mercury in the ground has made LIDAR less effective than normal, so the muon scans (as well as ground penetrating radar) seem to be the way to move forward. Last I checked (this was like 8 months ago) China was basically working with a few international archaeology groups to get it done. Knowing China when it comes to archaeology, it may be a few years until we get great details. But they are on the horizon! I am excited! I know the technology was also tried on several of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings to see if they could find secret compartments and the like, but on very small scales due to funding. I bet we will see a LOT more of this over the next 20 years!
and we will never know because they don't want us to know what they know I want to know why there is so much mercury how was it that around the world another area was also filled with so much mercury how did they know how to mine it make it and then why fill up a tomb with it how many died making it and they still felt it was so worth them doing this
Hawass deserves no credit he hindered that kind of research, blocked the guy who actually came up with the idea to do it and then takes credit for the results ?! He’s a disgrace to Egypt and the Egypt government. They should fire him and have a real scientist in his place
Thats cute, but lets get a cure for breast cancer, alzheimer dementia, and colon cancer. Sorry, but spouting pointless conjecture aint gonna cut it in the modern world.
Excellent film and edits with good description! Fun to have learned about their accidental discovery, there has been a lot of discoveries that led up to something greater than what they imagined , this is a good example of this.
My guess its just the remnants of a secondary counterweight lift, as the grand gallery is theorised to have been (with substantial evidence). Edit: also Hancock is a deceitful quack that uses manipulative rhetoric to get people to believe his crackpot ideas
You forgot the coolest part of muons, the theory at first glance wouldn't allow for muons formed from cosmic ray interactiond in the high atmosphere to hit the surface, even if they were travelling at the speed of light they would decay before hitting the ground. In reality the muons experience time dilation allowing them to cross larger distances in the same time from their perspective
This technique started being used at least a couple of decades ago, and it has been progressively refined. It's not exactly new, but it's slowly been getting some "traction" (so to speak) in more recent years.
Jess H Brewer won the Brockhurst award for Muon Spin Theory as a new field of material physics several decades ago. Searching his name, or MUSR (or micron symbol SR), will find a lot of info. Jess is any American who expatriated to lead projects at TRIUMF in Vancouver. His findings led to the classic 24 year Susskind - Hawking debate. He's now emeritus status.
@@mikafizz1022 It's the honorary status some people retain after retirement, usually as university professors who've not just taught, but led research.
They’re one of the fundamental particles of the universe !! Same electric charge as the electrons but heavier and have extremely short lifespans (half-life, meaning they soon decay away and disappear after having been created)
It's funny because my only experience hearing about Muons was in junji ito Maniac where they were actually spirits that caused you to be eaten by the walls
@@1tortillaplsTo add something, they belong to the leptons. Muons are of special interest because they are heavier than electrons. In principle you detect them the same way as electrons but sadly, because they are heavy, they often interact more weakly with matter so its harder to detect them. Fun fact: some people want to build a muon collider, which would be insane.
Gotta be honest, I much prefer the long form videos. Whether 10-15 minutes or 1 hour. I find the shorts' content to be Interesting, but presented in a way that doesn't speak to me at all.

@@FiftyStates5doesn’t matter if they didn’t. First of all they’re not preserved, they are being kept stolen.

That’s the equivalent of saying “Oh yeah I stole that guys Television because he didn’t know how to use it properly!”
The matter is a bit more complex than you think..First of all, the type of X-Ray machine that could do this does not exist on such a scale, secondly, the X-Ray rays on today's machines still cannot penetrate through such a thick structure without interference and thirdly if It could do, it is very likely that the pyramid would become radioactive through constant scanning, and the research would become dangerous for people and for the research, even if it were possible, would be very slow and inefficient, as archaeologists and scientists would like..

@@Monkey80llx Wow, well she has made many, so I can’t truly say I read them all. However I do like her content because it correlates with other scientistic views. She’s very knowledgeable in my opinion.
Muons penetrate so much tissue that they would likely not be absorbed enough to show any current sensors any tangible data, maybe in the future when we have more sensitive scanners we could use them but as of right now it’s just too difficult and impractical
Reading these made me think muons aren't meant to scan smaller stuff than celestial bodies in space. If we use muons it'll be like putting ants in microwaves, aka just won't affect the ants in the least.
Given how muons can pass so much materials, the human body may not be able to absorb enough of them for modern sensors to register a difference. That said, my claim is an educated guess at best, and even if it's true, I can't claim anything about future technology.
@@williamxie3085that's actually a pretty good guess. Also exposure time would be a problem. There's so few muons that the exposure time would be really long in order to get any significant resolution. Technically possible.... Yes. Practical, no.
@@williamxie3085 Quite a good hunch. Muon decay is a radioactive process and they’re known to pass through our bodies in the thousands every day. Perhaps we’d be able to use that as an advantage and manipulate their decaying behavior for tracking purposes (just a thought formulated while being blasted by muons on a daily basis 😎)…
Yeah that was my first thought too. Some of the other commenters mentioned it would take a while. I'm wondering if this is something we could use while sleeping every night. I wonder how cheap they can make the detectors.

Thank you Natalie Portman for sharing this information
Are you saying she looks like Natalie Portman?
@@watamatafoyu Either that or confused Natalie Portman for Anne Hathaway.
Her delivery is annoying as hell to me for some reason
@@watamatafoyu yes she does.
I always got Keira Knightley vibes from her.
If i had a science teacher like her in high school, I'd be a scientist.
No you wouldn't have, you would have failed the h€✓✓ out of the class. Just like the rest of us would have.
I would just never leave school
Nobody has energy to teach like that everyday for hours let alone years
No you wouldn't. Do you think all the scientists had great teachers who took personal interest in them? It's not how much interest they show in you, but about how much interest and effort you put into the subject. 😅
what they most likely meant was having a teacher like this would make them interested in science because they enjoy learning it. A teacher can literally make or break a child's enjoyment of something
I love her content, spreading nothing but cool new information
ironically Zahi Hawass is the type of guy that wouldn't allow the scientists or anyone else to check the pyramid hidden chamber
You mean to tell me an imminent Egyptologist has trust issues about first world scientists hanging around his national heritage?
Maybe he has good reason to do so, mate.
@@rustomkanishka oh, you mean the guy that was caught smuggling artifacts and charged for corruption while he was a minister in the government? Don't be so naive. Yeah, a great reason? Money, control, and power... it's not so romantic as "national heritage" worries. Grow up, mate.
@@theSUBVERSIVE go look at the British museum.
He actually does but he has to be the star of the show or else!
@@rustomkanishka Zahi Hawass is a well known fraud and grifter who traffics Egyptian artefacts to the black market. Egypt is a corrupt dystopia. I won't be surprised if there's little remaining from Pharaonic Egypt by the end of this century. Go on though, whine about the British valuing and preserving Egyptian antiquities. Also the term "first world" is anachronistic and derives from the Cold War period... which ended 35 years ago.
And then they released a terrible curse pushing humanity to it's extinction

Bob Briar predicted this corredor years ago with his internal ramp theory
So cool to see his theory garner some substantial evidence
And this isn't a new discovery - there was xray of this over 10 years ago
@@GabrielBaconhow do you know it was the same corridor?
@@Stellarffxi the building theory was proposed more than a decade ago, they brought the theorist an X-ray that they didn’t know what to make of at the time.

Perfect example of how scientific research for space benefits the people of Earth
Wow... weren't muons like... incredibly hard to detect 10 years ago? And now we can scan stuff with them? Just amazing.
Edit: How tf did I get 1k likes on a confused thought like this xD Muons were detected in the 1930s, not that difficult. I was thinking of neutrinos... those are still really hard to detect today.
Nah, I think you're thinking of neutrinos. Neutrinos interact with other matter _so seldom_ that you need a _huge_ amount of detection material just to spot _one_ out of the trillions that pass through.
Muons are more like electrons, _relatively_ easy to spot. What makes them interesting and useful for _this_ purpose is that they're very rare in nature, because once created, they quickly decay into electrons. So if we spot one, we know 2 things with pretty high confidence:
(a) it almost certainly was created by a cosmic ray from space;
(b) it's moving very fast, and from the sky, not from below.
(It has to be moving fast, because slower muons don't have time to get through the atmosphere to the earth's surface before they decay. _Most_ muons from those cosmic ray collisions don't make it this far.)
(Neutrinos, muons, and electrons are all in a particle class called _leptons,_ but neutrinos are waaaaaaaaaay harder to spot than the others.)
@@ps.2 Ah mb, you're right, muons were detected in 1936... so a little over 10 years ago... and apparently not that difficult 😂
We have quite a few in office, they just need to open their mouths for you to detect it.

@@ryan-qz5xb I have a feeling that might finally change soon...
I remember when the documentary came out about the finding, where scientists from different parts of the world came and did these tests and scans, finding a void that had never been detected. Like a month later the documentary disappeared from RUclips. I couldn’t find it anywhere. That seemed strange to me that they would remove such a spectacular finding.
Probably because the documentary was uploaded by someone who didn't own the rights to it.

This tech is also being used to map out the inside of Qin Shi Huang Di's tomb in China, and multiple archeological teams are looking for the funding to do it around ancient sites of all sorts, like the Hittite capital of Hattushas, and Troia.
Edit: I should say China is WORKING to use this tech to map out the First Emperor's Tomb, I don't actually know how far along in the project they are.
That's awesome I've always wanted an excavation of the first Emperor's tomb complex, but I realise how dangerous that would be.
@@Stroke999 The Chinese have been working like crazy to figure out other ways to scan inside, and they've used LIDAR to get a good idea of how they could use muon technologies to get a really good view inside part of it. Unfortunately, the mercury in the ground has made LIDAR less effective than normal, so the muon scans (as well as ground penetrating radar) seem to be the way to move forward.
Last I checked (this was like 8 months ago) China was basically working with a few international archaeology groups to get it done. Knowing China when it comes to archaeology, it may be a few years until we get great details. But they are on the horizon! I am excited!
I know the technology was also tried on several of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings to see if they could find secret compartments and the like, but on very small scales due to funding. I bet we will see a LOT more of this over the next 20 years!
and we will never know because they don't want us to know what they know I want to know why there is so much mercury how was it that around the world another area was also filled with so much mercury how did they know how to mine it make it and then why fill up a tomb with it how many died making it and they still felt it was so worth them doing this
so many questions

@@MainAcc0Show me the evidence that points to Atlantis.

@@MainAcc0😂
You forgot the coolest part of muons, the theory at first glance wouldn't allow for muons formed from cosmic ray interactiond in the high atmosphere to hit the surface, even if they were travelling at the speed of light they would decay before hitting the ground. In reality the muons experience time dilation allowing them to cross larger distances in the same time from their perspective
They could scan containers for human smuggling, but that may interrupt their cash flow!!
I was thinking the exact same thing
Would the process be fast enough to do that? Genuinely asking.
@@nickthephoenix8494 Has to be worth a try, don't you think?

I don’t mean to be a bummer, but I don’t think that is the most important discovery of the entire 21st century.
This technique started being used at least a couple of decades ago, and it has been progressively refined. It's not exactly new, but it's slowly been getting some "traction" (so to speak) in more recent years.

in more detail
big electrons
They’re one of the fundamental particles of the universe !! Same electric charge as the electrons but heavier and have extremely short lifespans (half-life, meaning they soon decay away and disappear after having been created)
It's funny because my only experience hearing about Muons was in junji ito Maniac where they were actually spirits that caused you to be eaten by the walls
@@1tortillaplsTo add something, they belong to the leptons. Muons are of special interest because they are heavier than electrons. In principle you detect them the same way as electrons but sadly, because they are heavy, they often interact more weakly with matter so its harder to detect them.
Fun fact: some people want to build a muon collider, which would be insane.

Shorts have been awesome lately Cleo, love your work
Gotta be honest, I much prefer the long form videos. Whether 10-15 minutes or 1 hour. I find the shorts' content to be Interesting, but presented in a way that doesn't speak to me at all. Geared more towards viewer retention and engagement (14 year old on tiktok), and much less towards educational/informational content. The curse of modern media really. And I fell right into the trap by commenting.

I love how in all of her contents she is just extremely happy and amazed
If they’re scanning shipping containers for hazardous materials, they can scan your house or car for whatever they want to know about.
The matter is a bit more complex than you think..First of all, the type of X-Ray machine that could do this does not exist on such a scale, secondly, the X-Ray rays on today's machines still cannot penetrate through such a thick structure without interference and thirdly if It could do, it is very likely that the pyramid would become radioactive through constant scanning, and the research would become dangerous for people and for the research, even if it were possible, would be very slow and inefficient, as archaeologists and scientists would like..

@@Monkey80llx Wow, well she has made many, so I can’t truly say I read them all. However I do like her content because it correlates with other scientistic views. She’s very knowledgeable in my opinion.
Can we use muons for human scans?
Muons penetrate so much tissue that they would likely not be absorbed enough to show any current sensors any tangible data, maybe in the future when we have more sensitive scanners we could use them but as of right now it’s just too difficult and impractical
Maybe if you weigh 20000lb and therefore can't fit in the room with a conventional scanner...
Reading these made me think muons aren't meant to scan smaller stuff than celestial bodies in space. If we use muons it'll be like putting ants in microwaves, aka just won't affect the ants in the least.
@@MollyHJohnsI think an ant would be affected if I microwaved it

You’re truly a mix of Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley
Interesting. Would we be able to see inside the human body and identify different tissues instead of EM waves or X rays?
Given how muons can pass so much materials, the human body may not be able to absorb enough of them for modern sensors to register a difference. That said, my claim is an educated guess at best, and even if it's true, I can't claim anything about future technology.
@@williamxie3085that's actually a pretty good guess. Also exposure time would be a problem. There's so few muons that the exposure time would be really long in order to get any significant resolution. Technically possible.... Yes. Practical, no.
@@williamxie3085 Quite a good hunch.
Muon decay is a radioactive process and they’re known to pass through our bodies in the thousands every day.
Perhaps we’d be able to use that as an advantage and manipulate their decaying behavior for tracking purposes (just a thought formulated while being blasted by muons on a daily basis 😎)…
X rays are EM waves
Yeah that was my first thought too. Some of the other commenters mentioned it would take a while. I'm wondering if this is something we could use while sleeping every night. I wonder how cheap they can make the detectors.

The saddest part of that is that GH actually made one seriously well reasoned analysis of global sea level rise during the start of the interglacial period, but since everything else he did puts him in the 'it was aliens' camp, he's still basically a lunatic.
I think a single muon when fallen on a transistor can also change its state from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0.
Sounds like binary computerization utilizing neutrino substrate divided by the Faraday insulation effect.

Because science today has been turned from what it originally was used for into just another false religion. Thanks for asking. Science and religion were never at odds until mankind made if so. And we aren't even embarrassed by it which shows what pigshit we all are.
