### Michio Kaku Reveals the Dark Truth About Chandrayaan 3’s Lunar Exploration
In 2023, India made history when its Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon’s south pole, becoming the fourth country to achieve the milestone. However, what the probe discovered left even renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku—a staunch advocate of space exploration—deeply concerned.
### Chandrayaan 3 Mission and Its Ambitious Goal
Chandrayaan 3, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on July 14, 2023. It landed on the Moon’s south pole on August 23, 2023—a region that had never been directly explored before. The mission is a follow-up to Chandrayaan 2, which had a landing failure in 2019.
So why the South Pole? The region contains shadowy craters that may hold large amounts of water ice from the early days of the Solar System—some 4.5 billion years ago. If successfully mined, the water ice could provide oxygen, fuel, and drinking water for future missions. That’s why NASA, China, Europe, and Russia are all eyeing the region to set up space bases by the end of the decade. The success of Chandrayaan 3 marks a major step forward for India in the race to explore the Moon.
### Unexpected Discovery: Mysterious Material
Chandrayaan 3 consists of three main parts:
– **Propulsion Module**: Orbits the Moon and carries a spectrometer to study light from Earth.
– **Vikram Lander**: Sends a rover to the Moon’s surface.
– **Pragyan Rover**: Explores and analyzes lunar soil and rocks.
Pragyan uses laser light-emission spectroscopy (LIBS) and X-ray analysis to study the composition of the soil and rocks. Initially, the results show familiar elements such as sulfur, aluminum, calcium, iron, titanium, and oxygen—consistent with samples collected from the Apollo, Luna, and Chinese missions.
But then something strange appears: **a material never before recorded on Earth, the Moon, or any other planet in the Solar System**.
This substance has the ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation in a way that no other material has ever known, almost like a “sponge” for energy. This raises two surprising hypotheses:
1. **If this material is natural**, it could defy modern principles of chemistry and physics. 2. **If it is artificial**, the question is who or what made it?
Michio Kaku described the discovery as **“groundbreaking but fraught with uncertainty”**. If it is artificial, is it a trace of an alien civilization or a lost human civilization from the past?
### The Mystery of Heat and the Giant Cave
Not only that, data from the temperature measuring device on Chandrayaan 3 also detected **mysterious heat pulses from under the Moon’s surface**. While the Moon is believed to have been geologically inactive for billions of years, these temperature fluctuations appear to respond to external factors, raising the question of an **hidden energy process or structure underneath**.
More remarkably, Pragyan’s ground-penetrating radar also identified a **giant cave under the surface of the Moon’s south pole**, which is large enough to accommodate a small city. The images show that the internal structure does not resemble a natural formation but appears to be designed with highly conductive supports.
This raises the following hypotheses:
– **Could this be an artificial base, perhaps built by an alien civilization or ancient humans?**
– **If it is still active, are thermal pulses its operating system?**
ISRO remains cautious, but many scientists around the world, including NASA and ESA, are calling for further research to determine the nature of this structure.
### Global Significance and Risk
If these findings are confirmed, they could revolutionize science and technology, with potential applications in energy storage, stealth technology and propulsion. But on the other hand, if exploited for the wrong purpose, the consequences could be unpredictable.
Michio Kaku warns that **reaching the Moon cannot be about personal or political gain**, but requires international cooperation to ensure transparency and safety. But with the space race heating up—NASA, China, India, and Europe all plan to explore the South Pole in 2025–2028—will humanity be cautious?
### Conclusion
Chandrayaan 3 will not only help explore the Moon, but also raise philosophical questions: **Are we really alone in the universe? If not, what awaits us out there?**
Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: the Moon is **no longer a deserted world**, but a mystery waiting to be solved.
