This is not the same method at all and this is much more reliable. For King Tut, they used ground penetration radar, which is very hard to interpret. Here: (1) this is confirmed by 3 independent teams using 3 different detection technologies, (2) we used the same statistical criteria as for discoveries in particle physics (deviation 5 sigma from the model).
In addition, we clearly see the new void on Nagoya's data (Fig.2).
Unfortunately, cosmic-ray muons cannot be used in King Tut tomb because we can only see "above us" (the muons come from the sky).
- TwoFactor 9y agoI'm definitely looking forward to where this research takes us. I'm curious if there have been any efforts to create a muon-like transmitter that would add more flexibility to the sensor system. Is there something about muons that prohibits this?
- jbmouret 9y agoThis would basically require a LHC-like particle accelerator. However, we can acquire data for more time (depending on the detector technology), which will give us more statistics.
- tamersalama 9y agoOn a tangent, but as has been asked here, does this disprove Jean-Pierre Houdin theory?
