May 2017.
Scientists working at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
fire the world's most powerful X-ray laser
at a molecule.
They were looking to see what would happen
if you took an atom with a lot of electrons
and hit it with high-energy X-rays,
could you knock the electrons out of orbit around the atom
and produce something that had very few electrons?
But the system behaved very differently than expected.
[narrator]
Electrons are knocked out of their orbits like pinballs.
But then, in one quadrillionth of a second,
a powerful force sucks electrons into a void
and the molecule dramatically explodes.
[man 1]
and then drew other electrons into the process.
And by golly, it looked like a black hole.
[rumbling tone resonates]
[narrator]
A region of space
that exhibits such a strong gravitational field
that nothing, not even light, can escape from it?
Fundamentally, they're just a lot of mass
crammed into a very small space.
What does that mean?
It means there's a very strong
gravitational field around them,
light can't even escape.
And that's where it gets the name "black hole."
[man 2]
one gets a much more exotic phenomena.
What happens then is you get a vortex
around the black hole.
A vortex of space-time.
[Kaku]
except it wasn't gravitational.
It was electromagnetic.
That is, it used the power of laser beams.
Now how is that possible?
Well, it turns out that in Einstein's theory,
not just gravity, but any form of energy,
if it's concentrated enough,
could become a black hole.
[rumbling explosion]
[man 3]
we think of a collapsed star and-and a great mass.
But with these new experiments, it's showing us
that black holes can be created in different ways
including with, uh, electromagnetic energy
or high-energy pulses in a laboratory
And so, therefore, black holes
could be in any place.
On Earth, there have been stories of people
missing time
or jumping a distance
at much faster speeds
than what it would have taken
in their plane or in their boat.
And that raises the question whether very strange things
apply in the vicinity of a black hole.
Maybe a vortex opens.
Maybe some type of passageway
into the other realms and dimensions
which exist all around us.
[mystical, dramatic music plays]
[narrator]
that evidence of humans taking incredible journeys
through time-space portals
exists in ancient texts from all over the world.
One such example can even be found
in the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible
and involves the story of Moses on Mount Sinai.
[rumbling]
[gentle, mystical instrumentals play]
[Tzadok]
There's an ancient legend that states
when God calls Moses to Heaven,
a cloud descended.
And then it curiously states
a door opened in the cloud
and Moses walked in.
The door closed behind him
and he ascended.
According to the Bible, Moses ascends
for 40 days and 40 nights,
does not eat, does not drink, does not sleep.
Forty days passed for us on Earth.
How much time passed for Moses in Heaven?
What was the opening at Mount Sinai?
It sounds like the cloud was some type
of a transportational device
within the context of an open vortex.
If this has any kind of a literal understanding to it,
then a doorway to Heaven would have been an alteration
in the fabric of space as we understand it today,
possibly of time itself.
In light of our modern understandings,
we need to reinvestigate
what the Bible is actually teaching us.
