CIA Revelations Under Way?

Is CIA disclosure coming? From dolphin spies to real warp drive technology, cover-ups are finally being revealed.

Could faster than light travel be possible? NASA now has a team dedicated to Star Trek warp drive tech, and they say it will be achievable in the future. By creating a “warp bubble” and using quantum fields that interact with spacetime, a ship could fly faster than the speed of light. However, these conversations are theoretical, so does this technology already exist? A CERN scientist already announced that neutrinos have been documented traveling faster than the speed of light.

Ever heard of Dr. John C. Lilly? He created a tank that no sound, light, sense of time, or even gravity could penetrate, leading to the separation of the mind from the body. As soon as the CIA found out about his experiments, the next phase for them was allegedly how to weaponize it. Possibly most interesting of all, Lilly’s experiments also tested physical and psychic communication with dolphins. Yes, even dolphins were converted into CIA spies.

Now with mass changes happening in the government, will we see a huge disclosure of secrets on all fronts? Will we finally see classified files get opened? Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Edge of Wonder to hear all about it.

Lost Waves Of Time

Musician, historian, artist & scientist Jill Mattson joins Sarah Westall’s program to share her life long research into the intersection of music, art, science, and history. Her book the “Lost Waves of Time” is a journey through time and music; how music was used by the ancients for everything from medicine, agriculture, to war, but not widely for entertainment. She explains how today is very different from the past. This episode is a journey into the power of sound through out history.

This is part one of a two-part program. We will present the followup after it appears.

How Did Mummies Sound?

When Egyptian priest Nesyamun died more than 3,000 years ago his departing wish was that he be allowed to speak in the afterlife so he could address his gods, and be granted entry into eternity.

Now, with the help of science, the holy man has indeed found his voice after death.

Academics at Royal Holloway, University of London, University of York and Leeds Museum scanned the mummy of Nesyamum, 3D printed his vocal tract then played soundwaves through it to create an impression of how the priest might have sounded.

So far, the only noise they’ve created is a nondescript bleat, sounding something like ‘beh’ but the researchers are hoping to use computer modelling to recreate words and even sentences.

The experts said it allowed people to ‘make direct contact with ancient Egypt by listening to a sound from a vocal tract that has not been heard for over 3000 years.’

And they want to eventually try the technique on other famous ‘heads’, and bring back the voices of notable figures. More from The Telegraph.
