A secret ballroom lies under this lake, with a statue of Neptune above it. It was built in the late 1800s by Whitaker Wright, a businessman. The roof of the ballroom is paned in translucent glass to let light filter through from the water above. Now owned by entrepreneur Gary Steele, it lies empty. (Source)

The Search For Neutrons That Leak Into Our World From Other Universes

“Braneworld” theories predict that matter can leak into and out of other universes. So physicists are searching for the first evidence

One of the more exciting ideas in high energy physics is the possibility that our three-dimensional universe is embedded in a much bigger multidimensional cosmos. Physicists call these embedded universes “branes” and say that it should be possible for stuff from our brane to leak into other branes nearby and vice versa.

Today, Michael Sarrazin at the University of Namur in Belgium and a few pals say they have worked out to detect this leakage by measuring whether neutrons can bypass barriers by leaping into another brane and back again.
