I am a great scientist

Chapter 515 The Real Universe ([-])

The city in the sky, the pinnacle of civilization, the center of a huge laboratory, Zhou Xing led a group of scientists to invest in various scientific research day after day, perfecting the theory of the universe, researching interstellar weapons, ..., the scientific and technological field of human civilization is under their promotion. Down, keep moving forward.

The huge command screen is divided into dozens of small screens, each of which has a major experiment going on, and Zhou Xing and a group of experts and professors are watching them remotely. They will be notified of the progress as soon as possible.

"Mr. Zhou, the 'Biark Ball Cup' has reached its limit, and the experiment in this direction can be ended." Lin Hai walked to the chairman's seat and watched Zhou Xing report to him.

"Well, let's end it then!" Zhou Xing glanced at the experimental area of ​​the 'Biark Ball Cup', turned his head to look at Professor Lin Hai, and asked with concern: "Did you encounter a difficult problem?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xing temporarily stopped the research project in hand. If there is no accident, everyone will perform their duties, and Lin Hai will not come to him for no reason.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, the FTL project has been realized, so the 'Tachyons' hypothesis should be established. However, our research in this area has not made any progress!" Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing with a wry smile, and said helplessly .

After the scientific research enters the depth of a certain field, you will find that there are more and more difficult problems that will continue to plague them. For example, after the existence of the "curvature" space is confirmed, the problem of "tachyons" immediately surfaced .

'Tachyson' corresponds to 'slow son', and scientists have already proposed this concept in the [-]th century.

In the microscopic world, protons, neutrons and other particles bound by the strong interaction force are called hadrons. According to their own weight, they belong to baryons, and electrons belong to leptons.However, whether protons or neutrons, hadrons or baryons, they all belong to slowons.

Among the 61 kinds of elementary particles predicted by the Standard Model, all particles except photons belong to slowons, and their moving speed can only reach below the speed of light, and can be infinitely close to the speed of light but cannot exceed it.

In this universe, a stationary matter has the least energy. When it gains energy, it starts to move, and the more energy it gets, the faster it moves. Until it gets infinite energy, the speed of objects also reaches the limit, but they have speed The upper limit is the speed of light, and their moving speed cannot exceed the speed of light, so they are called slowons.

With the exception of photons, these particles all have masses above zero, that is, they have positive masses.In fact, regardless of matter or antimatter, their mass is positive.The standard for distinguishing matter and antimatter is only the difference in charge.

Tachyon is a brand new particle, the biggest difference from positive mass particles is that its mass is negative.So its speed is eternally fixed above the speed of light.If energy is given to tachyons, the speed of tachyons will be accelerated. On the contrary, if energy is given to tachyons, the speed of tachyons will be slowed down.The more energy imparted, the slower the tachyons will travel.

Same as slowons, tachyons also have a speed limit, the lower limit of tachyons is the speed of light, that is to say, the speed of tachyons is always faster than the speed of light, and it can only be infinitely close to the speed of light, but cannot be reduced below the speed of light.

Because this characteristic of tachyons exceeds the speed of light, it is impossible to be directly observed, because human beings live in the world of tachyons, just like black holes, which cannot be directly observed, but can be detected through some kind of tachyons brought by it. effect, inferring its existence indirectly.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned. The 'tachyons' problem, like the dark energy of the universe, is a relatively advanced technology.

Tachyons are also divided into many different types. The mass of tachyons is negative, and the matter composed of tachyons is negative matter. Tachyons have many very wonderful physical properties.Because its speed is always above the speed of light, it cannot be directly observed.Because its mass is negative, it can annihilate with all positive matter in a broad sense and return to nothingness.

Negative one kilogram of negative matter can react with one kilogram of positive matter or antimatter. The reaction process is that the two disappear together and lose their traces from the universe. In this process, no energy is emitted. Does not emit any radiation.

The law of conservation of mass and energy fails in the small area involved by tachyons, but it is still conserved on the scale of the entire universe. If the hypothesis of 'tachyons' is introduced, then the ongoing construction of the universe model is almost complete. !
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly called up the holographic screen, tapped the keyboard with both hands, combined the hypothesis of 'Tachyons', various particle theories, and theories of the universe, and compared them.

Zhou Xing suddenly looked at the big screen, and told Zhou Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, establish the 'Tachyon' research project, integrate the unified theory of the universe, antimatter, negative matter, dark matter, and the theory of the tree system of the universe, according to the data I listed Models deduce models of the real universe."

"Okay, Boss." Zhou Xiaozhi complied. Immediately, Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power ran wildly at [-] trillion times per second, combined with many theories of the universe, corresponding to each other, and various theoretical data to deduce the real universe model.

The universe is made up of gigantic superclusters of galaxies surrounded by large, invisible clumps of empty space, each containing billions of stars made of particles too small to be seen.Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the most common particles, usually bound together in atoms, and protons and neutrons are made of even smaller particles called quarks.

The universe is governed by four forces or the interactions between them, namely gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force and weak interaction force, these forces are brought about by a group of particles called gauge Bosons, which are exchanged among the particles that make up matter.

Under the 'universal rules', gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak interaction force are all interrelated, and it is pointed out that all subatomic particles may be produced by a kind of elementary particle,....

……

Time flies, all kinds of theories on the holographic big screen, and all kinds of data streams are flying wildly.

The scientific and technological knowledge acquired through trading with alien civilizations, the exploration of the universe by human civilization, and Zhou Xing's research results in the field of the universe, ... are gathered together like a hodgepodge, and under Zhou Xiaozhi's huge computing power, he deduces with all his strength to establish the original reality. model of the universe.

Time passed bit by bit, and the scientists in the hall were staring at the big screen, their faces full of tension.

This cosmic deduction came too suddenly. Artificial intelligence absorbs human knowledge in the field of the universe. Once the deduction is successful, it will completely unveil the mystery of the universe for human beings.

According to the most influential big bang theory in modern cosmology, the temperature at the beginning of the universe was very high. As the universe expanded, the temperature began to decrease, and neutrons, protons, and electrons were produced.Afterwards, these elementary particles formed various elements, and these material particles attracted and fused with each other to form larger and larger clumps, and these clumps gradually evolved into galaxies, stars, planets, and even appeared on individual celestial bodies. life phenomenon.

However, there are still many unknowns in the universe, and what the real universe is like has never been determined.

Human beings have various speculations about the universe: multiverse: there are many parallel universes with different physical properties, and we exist in a universe suitable for life; absurd universe: the universe just happened to be like this; unique universe: some kind of hidden universe The coordinating mechanisms of physics make the universe what it is.

Principle of life: Some deep principle forces the universe to evolve in the direction that can produce life; Self-evident universe: An explanatory closure or causal loop: "Maybe only a universe that allows consciousness can exist."; God created the universe: God of the universe The universe is intentionally designed to be a product capable of producing complex life; virtual universe: human beings live in a simulated world of virtual reality,…  

Powerful artificial intelligence-Zhou Xiaozhi, can it deduce the real universe model for human beings?All the scientists looked at the big holographic screen expectantly, full of anticipation.

One hour passed, two hours passed, ..., the data stream on the big screen was still at a standstill.

"Mr. Zhou, this question is too complicated. I'm afraid Xiaozhi won't have any results in a short time!" Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing and reminded.

"Well, to support the Galactic Federation this time, we must obtain knowledge of the basic theory of the universe from them to complement our knowledge structure."

"This problem has already been reported to the Federation. Those guys in the Galaxy Alliance are also the ones who don't see the rabbits and don't scatter the eagles. For the time being, let's rely on ourselves first!"

"The theory of the explosion of the universe, the tree of the multidimensional universe, the unification of particles, the theory of space-time energy,... Can these theories really be combined? I really look forward to it!"

"..."

After waiting for the result for a long time, the scientists stared at the big holographic screen, discussing excitedly in twos and threes, and their emotions were abnormally excited.

Zhou Xing nodded, closed his eyes silently, and looked at the system task panel.

"SSS main mission: the real universe, mission completion condition: successfully learn the laws of the universe, mission reward: special reward (one), mission deadline: none, mission failure penalty: none."

(Mission reminder: host, you have successfully advanced to the middle-level great scientist, and human civilization has entered the interstellar era. However, human civilization still has a little understanding of the universe. Please use your ability to explore the real universe.)
Since there is no task deadline, before you know it, more than 100 years have passed, but this system task has not been completed. After such a long period of accumulation, it is almost time for a breakthrough!

"Mr. Zhou, look, look at the big screen, Xiaozhi has perfectly integrated multiple 'cosmic trees' and space-time energy theory! Now there is only one unified theory left." Professor Lin Hai's excited voice suddenly rang in Zhou Xing's ear sounded.

"Looks like it's almost done!" Zhou Xing opened his eyes, with a smile on his face.

"That's right! Multiple 'universe trees' are the most complicated. If you hadn't verified this theory yourself, who would have known such a side of the universe existed!" Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing with admiration, and said with emotion.

"Let's hit it right! It's a pity that the ultimate goal has not been realized!" Zhou Xing sighed with a trace of loneliness flashing across his face.

More than 100 years have passed, and the explorer has already reached the scale of tens of billions. Although we don't know the specific situation of the "discovery center", there are still countless explorers searching for the trace of the rock in the "tree of the universe". However, it is like finding a needle in a haystack , to this day, there is no news about the Panshi.

Seeing the expression on Zhou Xing's face, Professor Lin Hai understood something. He immediately changed the subject and asked: "Mr. Zhou, if the universe model can be established this time, will dark matter surface?"

"Well, we definitely can't escape. Even if this deduction is unsuccessful, dark matter is the focus of our next research." Zhou Xing nodded and said firmly.

So far, humans have discovered three types of matter in the universe, namely positive matter, antimatter, and dark matter.

Positive matter is the matter we usually see in contact with, and antimatter is the extension of antiparticles. As we all know, inside atoms, electrons carry negative charges, and their spin quantum number is positive half, while antielectrons are just the opposite. Carrying a positive charge, the spin quantum number is negative one-half.Not only electrons, neutrons, protons, etc. all have their own antiparticles, the matter composed of particles is positive matter, and the matter composed of antiparticles is naturally antimatter.

Positive matter and antimatter have been widely used in human civilization, but only the field of dark matter has not been able to achieve major breakthroughs.

The universe is like a giant "cosmic web," with galaxies linked together by entangled filaments made of baryons, subatomic particles made up of three quarks and three antiquarks The composed antibaryons are a kind of hadrons, but baryons are composite particles, not elementary particles. The protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus of everyday matter are actually baryons, and together with antiprotons and antineutrons, they are collectively called nucleons .

In the gaps of this 'cosmic web', a large number of tiny to invisible dark matter is densely covered, playing an unknown role. Because dark matter does not absorb and radiate electromagnetic waves, it is electrically neutral, and dark matter has a small density and is difficult to capture. Therefore, the research of human civilization on dark matter has been in a state of pioneering.

Zhou Xing glanced at the big screen and added: "The research direction of dark matter starts with axions."

The axion is the one-dimensional real particle with energy efficiency mass.Axion particles are new particles of polarized magnetic flux carrying 'positrons'. Axion particles can also be understood as 'magnetic monopole particles'. The mass of an axion is between 10^-10 and 0^-[-]eV. The color charge has no charge, and its spin is [-], so it is a boson, but its supersymmetric partner is a fermion.

Professor Lin Hai nodded in understanding. The nature of axions is very likely to be the elementary particle of dark matter. Research along this direction should yield some gains.

However, if Zhou Xiaozhi combines the basic theories to deduce the real model of the universe, it will be of great help to the study of dark matter.

Professor Lin Hai and a group of scientists glanced at the big screen, waiting for Zhou Xiaozhi's deduction results.
