Politicians have never been known as the most trustworthy bunch. Despite the fact that their personal lives are often closely followed, quite often, they find themselves in a bit of a compromising position. The so-called “Leader of the Free World” is no exception. Many U.S. presidents have been accused of cheating on their wives before, […] The post 10 U.S. Presidents Who Cheated on Their Wives appeared first on Listverse.

Scientists from Charisma University in the Turks and Caicos Islands have proposed a bold hypothesis that during dreams, human consciousness may transcend the boundaries of space and time, opening doors to alternative realities. In their recent paper, they suggest that dreams are not merely reflections of our daily lives, but may also act as guides to parallel worlds, connecting us with other versions of ourselves. While dreams are traditionally seen as mirrors of our desires, fears, and experiences, these researchers offer a deeper interpretation. “Dreams may be windows into distinct realities governed by their laws, in which the mind, unfettered by the constraints of wakefulness, can explore and interact with new forms of existence,” says Leong, an honorary professor at Charisma University in Turks and Caicos. They argue that dreams could function as portals to alternate dimensions or heightened states of consciousness, drawing on the multiverse theory. This theory posits that every quantum event results in multiple possible outcomes, each unfolding in a separate universe. “Imagine you’re playing a football match,” explains Leong. “In one universe, your team wins, and in another, it loses. Perhaps, through dreams, we are able to visit these parallel universes.” Leong adds that during sleep, when consciousness is less tethered to logical thinking and physical senses, such journeys may become possible. The researchers propose that our consciousness could operate similarly to quantum entanglement, where particles interact regardless of distance. This suggests the possibility that consciousness might engage with other versions of ourselves in parallel realities. The study also draws on Carl Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious. According to Jung, different versions of a person might share a common unconscious, filled with instincts and ancestral memories. “Dreams may serve as the psyche’s way of tapping into this collective unconscious, exploring a shared narrative that goes beyond the individual,” the researchers note. Though these ideas remain speculative, they offer intriguing insights into the nature of dreams. Leong suggests that recurring vivid dreams, especially those charged with strong emotions, could be glimpses into alternate versions of ourselves. “Say you have a repetitive dream of being stuck in high school. While it may reflect unresolved psychological themes, such as feelings of stagnation or anxiety about personal growth, it could also indicate that in another reality, you are still in high school, dealing with the same challenges your waking self has moved beyond,” remarked Leong, as reported by Popular Mechanics. However, the researchers acknowledge that there is currently no empirical evidence to support the idea of traveling to alternate realities through dreams. Their study, published in the journal Qeios, calls for further investigation into recurring dreams with vivid imagery and intense emotional responses, which may hold clues about consciousness and its potential connection to the multiverse.

U.S. Intel on Israeli Plans Against Iran May Have Been Leaked by the Biden-Harris Admin

An exceptionally well-preserved Roman portrait statue has been discovered in Black Sea resort town of Varna, Bulgaria. The statue dates to the late 2nd or early 3rd century A.D. and despite its age, has suffered only minor damage: a missing right hand and some worn areas on the face. The statue was found during construction just outside the defensive walls of the ancient city in an area where a river once flowed in antiquity. It was lying on its back in a thick sand drift when the construction crew exposed it. The contractor immediately alerted the Varna Regional Museum of History to the find and archaeologists recovered the statue. The sculpture is larger-than-life-sized and made of high-quality white marble. It depicts an adult man with a short beard wearing a neatly draped toga. He holds a scroll in his left hand. The statue stands on a plinth with a Greek inscription. The initial translation of the inscription identifies the person being depicted as one G(aius) Marius Hermogenes, but epigraphic experts are working on fully deciphering and researching the text now. The ancient city of Odessos (modern-day Varna) was founded in the 6th century B.C. by colonists from the Greek city of Miletus. They built the city on the site of an earlier Thracian settlement going back to the late Bronze Age (13th-12th c. B.C.). It flourished thanks to its location on the Black Sea and proximity to gold and copper mines. Its prosperity peaked under the Roman Empire around the time the sculpture was made. The toga and scroll suggests Gaius Marius Hermogenes was a prominent citizen, perhaps a magistrate, who could afford an expensive marble statuary portrait. The former riverbed outside the city walls where it was found was almost certainly not its original location. It’s possible the statue was deliberately tossed by Hermogenes’ political opponents. They can’t have been very vehement in their opposition, since the statue is intact. Most of the time statues destroyed for political/religious reasons lost their heads at least. The statue is now at the Regional Museum of History where conservators will analyze, clean and stabilize it for future display.
