"Welcome back, dear readers! Prepare yourselves for a new chapter. Though if I were you, I wouldn't get my hopes up too high; this arc is just the beginning," Ibrahim says enthusiastically, his back turned to the rest of the team. They all ask in unison, their faces filled with astonishment, "Who the hell are you talking to?"
Ibrahim turns to them and replies, "Well, folks, if we're going to work together, you should know that I do this often. So, don't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, what shall we start with?"
Mr. Joseph responds, "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's start with the confirmed information we have:
Firstly, about a month ago, gravity disappeared within a 500-meter radius around ancient archaeological sites on Earth.
Secondly, this phenomenon began at dawn Egyptian time.
Thirdly, gravity is absent only at a height of 1 cm above the base of the artifact in the center of the field.
Fourthly, gravity still exists within a 10-meter radius of the artifact at the center of the main field.
Lastly, a full military team went to explore inside the Great Pyramid, which might be related to these supernatural phenomena, but they were annihilated in the most horrific ways. Only I and the two soldiers standing here, Mohammed Abdul and Saeed Haridy, survived."
Alex asks, "And what did you find inside the pyramid?"
Joseph recounts the events they faced inside the pyramid, their encounter with the mummy, and the slaughter of the team members at its hands. The scientists listen to Joseph until the end, then Li Wei sarcastically remarks, "Mummies and ghosts inside the pyramid? That sounds like a bedtime story to scare mischievous children. And I thought we were scientists, not fools chasing myths."
Joseph responds angrily, "Are you calling me a liar or a fraud?"
Ibrahim interrupts and tries to calm things down, "Hold on, folks. There are places on this planet with no gravity, and a whole military team dead for unknown reasons. I might be a man of science, but honestly, I think we need to consider every possibility. In such a situation, there's no room for logic anymore."
Jonathan chimes in, "Mr. Ibrahim is right under the current circumstances..."
Ibrahim suddenly interrupts him, "Please call me Doctor... Doctor Ibrahim."
Jonathan continues, "Alright, as Doctor Ibrahim said, whatever we're dealing with is beyond logic, beyond the laws of nature, and beyond our human understanding."
Ibrahim smiles and comments, "See? That's exactly what I'm talking about. The Brit gets me." Then he turns to Jonathan and says, "Sorry for calling you 'the Brit,' I forget names quickly."
Then he continues, "Alright, everyone, if anyone has a theory, share it with the rest of us. It seems guessing is all we have at the moment."
The scientists begin presenting their theories and beliefs about the causes of such phenomena. The first to speak is nuclear physicist Alex Petrov: "Well, I think we should first consider what gravity is:
From the perspective of nuclear physics, gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in nature, alongside electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. Gravity itself isn't a nuclear force, but it affects nuclear particles the same way it affects all other matter.
- Gravity is the force of attraction that acts between all masses in the universe.
- According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Large objects like planets and stars cause spacetime to curve around them, creating what we feel as gravity.
- Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces, but it operates over long distances and affects large bodies like planets and stars.
- The exact reason for the existence of gravity isn't fully known, but it's considered a natural property of mass and energy in the universe. It's believed that gravity originated directly after the Big Bang with the formation and expansion of the universe.
So, I hypothesize that such a phenomenon might be due to the presence of an object or mass with immense gravity opposing Earth's gravity. I can't think of a reason for it to be concentrated around ancient artifacts, but this is the only scientific explanation I can think of for such a phenomenon."
Li Wei adds, "Gravity from a geological perspective is the force that attracts objects towards the center of the Earth. This force is fundamental in shaping and forming the Earth and its various geological phenomena.
Gravity results from Earth's mass. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every mass in the universe attracts every other mass with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Since Earth has a large mass, it generates a strong gravitational field that attracts everything towards its center.
Gravity plays a role in shaping terrain, the atmosphere, water cycles, and tectonic plate movements."
He continues, "Now, as you can see, none of these natural components of the Earth have changed or been affected by these phenomena. Therefore, I believe the cause is neither from outside the Earth nor within it, or it would have impacted these larger natural formations."
Salem Al-Kuwari politely interjects to share his opinion, "My colleagues, we all know that the moon has its own gravity that interacts with Earth's gravity and is responsible for natural phenomena like tides. I noticed that the night this phenomenon began was in the middle of the lunar month when the moon was full. According to the timing estimates, the phenomenon started near the time when the full moon was directly above the pyramid area. Perhaps, for some reason, the gravity around the pyramid was influenced by the full moon's gravity."
The scientists continue to present their opinions and theories about this phenomenon until Joseph says, "I don't think there's a scientific explanation for what's happening. I went to the epicenter, and what I saw had no logic. Dozens of soldiers were killed by a creature closer to myth. I admit I don't understand what's happening, but I'm sure of one thing: whatever is going on, the answer lies within the pyramid."
The other scientists listen to his words. Some dismiss it entirely, while others ponder it. When Joseph sees their hesitation, he points to Mohammed and Saeed and says, "I wasn't alone. These two were with me, and they saw everything," and asks them to testify. Saeed says, "Sorry, but we don't speak English." Ibrahim smacks the back of his head and says, "The whole novel is written in English; just speak, and they'll understand you automatically." Saeed and Mohammed, still confused, follow his instruction and explain everything they witnessed, their faces showing signs of shock and sorrow.
The rest of the team listens to their story. Although some still don't believe what they're hearing, they all agree on one thing: they need to enter the pyramid and investigate.
Salem suggests appointing a team leader to organize the mission better and nominates Joseph. However, Li Wei objects, "And why should you be the leader?"
Joseph responds, "I am the eldest and most experienced among us. Besides, I represent the United States here, the largest supporter of this mission."
Li Wei angrily retorts, "So you're only a candidate for leadership because you come from Uncle Sam, right?"
Tensions rise between the two, and Jonathan sides with Joseph while Alex joins Li Wei. Ibrahim steps in to break up the fight, sarcastically saying, "Calm down, folks. We're not here to stage a miniature version of your countries' political conflicts or a Cold War drama. We're here to do some scientific investigation into all this craziness. Let's finish this first, and then China and the USA can start a nuclear war if they want."
The argument ceases as Ibrahim laughs. The team prepares to return to the pyramid area in two days. As Ibrahim walks out with Saeed and Mohammed, he says to them, "I think you know what this means."
Saeed answers:
"OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN"
