0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .jp. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.J-P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.6 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:38.8 | For 4,500 years, the Great Pyramid, or Kufu's Pyramid, has kept watch over the Egyptian desert. |
0:45.7 | In that time, it's suffered the indignities of tomb raiders and gunpowder-toating archaeologists |
0:50.8 | a la Indiana Jones. But the latest investigation of the pyramid's mysteries |
0:55.2 | is far more sophisticated, and it takes a page from particle physics. Scientists use muons, |
1:01.6 | a byproduct of the cosmic rays constantly raining down on our planet to image the interior |
1:06.5 | of the pyramid. The particles interact differently with stone than with empty space. And that fact |
1:12.0 | led the scientists to discover a previously unknown, 100-foot-long void, sitting somewhere above |
1:18.0 | the pyramid's grand gallery. The good news is the void is there. The other good news is that |
1:22.6 | this void is very big. Now what is it? We need the help of the people.i Taiyubi of the Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute and an author of a paper detailing |
1:31.9 | the findings in the journal Nature. Maybe Egyptologists and specialists in ancient Egyptian |
1:37.4 | architecture will provide us with some hypotheses that we can use for simulation and to compare with the data that we have to try to find |
1:46.6 | a kind of architectural explanation for this voice. |
1:50.2 | Until then, the newly discovered space will be just one of many enduring mysteries of this |
1:55.5 | very old wonder of the world. |
1:59.9 | Thanks for listening. |
2:01.3 | For Scientific American 60 Second Science, I'm Christopher in Daliatta. |
