Chapter 61 Weird! Space-Time Particles!
Boom——————
At Hongqiao Airport, the Boeing plane roared and accelerated, rushed onto the runway, raised its head, and flew southwest to Guizhou...
The Lunar New Year is coming soon, and it is the peak of returning home.
Even the first-class cabin, which is usually sparsely populated, is full today, with no empty seats. But fortunately, they are all independent surround cabins, so the space is still very spacious and the privacy protection is good. Most passengers are either resting with their eyes closed or watching programs on the small TV.
Last night, after receiving Liu Feng's excited call, Lin Xian booked the earliest flight to Guizhou.
[Spacetime particles, found! 】
This exciting news not only excited Liu Feng, but Lin Xian was also equally impatient.
The earliest.
When Liu Feng proposed different Planck scales in different time and space, space-time gaps, and space-time particles that drilled through the wall of space-time...
Lin Xian did not say that he did not believe it.
But in fact, he did not believe it too much. It felt like listening to fantasy.
So he did not think deeply at all.
I thought, wait till I find it; before I really find the space-time particles, studying the space-time clock and space-time curvature is meaningless.
After all, these subsequent theories must be based on the premise that the space-time particles are certain to exist, otherwise, they are just empty words.
And now.
After three months of searching at Guizhou Tianyan, Liu Feng finally found the existence of space-time particles.
Tiny particles from other space-times...
Planck scale different from the current universe...
Benchmark point for measuring the change of space-time curvature...
Reference for judging the deviation of the world line...
Lin Xian can hardly describe his current mood.
To sum up...
I can't believe that space-time particles really exist!
So.
Without further ado, Lin Xian decided to go to Guizhou Tianyan to find Liu Feng immediately, learn more about the observed results, and formulate the next capture plan.
Now, Lin Xian is wearing an eye mask, lying on his back with the seat as flat as possible.
In his empty mind, he was still thinking about the thoughts that were suddenly interrupted by the dance yesterday -
What is the purpose of the world's richest man, Jask, a member of the Genius Club, coming to see him this time?
It seems that he just came to say hello.
He also studied the wax block of the seal that he stuffed into him. There was nothing hidden in it. It was just an ordinary wax block, and it was not particularly exquisite... It gave people the feeling that it was a handmade work made by Jask himself.
But exquisiteness is not important.
The genuine and unique logo of the Genius Club on the wax block is the best proof of Jask's identity.
There is no doubt that unlike Ji Xinshui, who is a peripheral member and reserve who is painted with pie in the sky, Jask is definitely one of the official members of the Genius Club.
Lin Xian is very sure of this.
Because Ji Xinshui, a believer who worships and wants to join the Genius Club, has always been very cautious and careful. His timidity is reflected vividly, fearing that he will miss the qualification to join the Genius Club because of doing something wrong or saying something wrong.
Therefore, he has always kept things like Copernicus, the seal of the Genius Club, and the style of the invitation letter in his heart, and he has never mentioned them to Ji Lin, whom he trusts the most. This is enough to show how much he values and is cautious.
But Jask...
He doesn't care at all.
He directly handed the wax seal to him by shaking hands, and revealed his identity directly:
"I am a member of the Genius Club."
This made Lin Xian very confused.
I am not a member of the organization, can I tell others about this directly? What is the purpose of Jask revealing his identity to him directly?
Is he trying to train me to be a lackey like Ji Xinshui who works hard for him?
Or...
He wants to win me over? Become a teammate with me?
Or...
Just like Huang Que, Jask also has his own unique purpose, so he is guiding me and reminding me?
"Ah..."
Lin Xian sighed.
It's too messy.
As more and more members who are suspected of being members of the Genius Club appear around him, the nature and essence of the Genius Club is becoming more and more confusing.
Presumably, the answer to this can only be revealed after getting an invitation letter from the Genius Club and actually joining it?
"See you in the sky..."
He whispered the words left by Jask.
How should this be understood?
Sky, space, moon, universe...
Where exactly is the sky?
He pushed open the blindfold and looked out through the porthole next to him.
Now the plane has left the airport and is slowly increasing in altitude. It has to pass through the troposphere with strong winds and turbulence and fly steadily in the stratosphere.
As the altitude increases.
The buildings and cities on the ground quickly become smaller and become model-sized ornaments. Then, when the plane sinks into the clouds, the vision is pale up and down, left and right, and nothing can be seen clearly.
Wait for the altitude to increase for a while, break through the clouds, and you can see
When the plane's altitude increases a little more and reaches the stratosphere above 10,000 meters for stable flight. The rolling sea of clouds just now will turn into scattered cotton candy as the distance increases, and the originally unclear ground scenery will become clear again.
This is an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, which is the normal flight altitude of civil airliners. Generally speaking, the highest flight altitude of civil airliners is 15,000 meters, which is already its limit.
This altitude...
Is it the sky that Jask mentioned?
Lin Xian came back to his senses and looked at the small TV in the headache cabin seat in front of him. He felt that VV had been unusually quiet since the fireworks were set off last night.
"VV?"
He tried to call.
"I'm here, Lin Xian."
VV's voice sounded very depressed.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xian was a little surprised:
"Since yesterday, after setting off fireworks for Zhao Yingjun... you became silent as if you had no electricity. What are you thinking about?"
"I don't know, Lin Xian..."
VV said in the Bluetooth headset:
"I obviously didn't think about anything, but... I have an indescribable feeling, as if I'm in a bad mood."
"Mood?" Lin Xian chuckled:
"Don't you understand emotions and can't understand emotions?"
"I really can't understand."
VV replied:
"But even if I search all the databases, I can't find a word that better fits my current state than the word 'mood'. It's really hard for me to describe this feeling. I can't say that my memory is very messy, the hard disk has too many bad sectors and data fragments, the CPU silicone grease is dried up and the temperature is too high, and the network cable is gnawed by mice, causing the network speed to slow down, right?"
After another silence, VV said:
"Lin Xian, I think I need to rest for a while. I feel that I must think clearly about this matter and my state. Maybe... this is also a part of my iterative evolution. I don't know what I will become after breaking through this bottleneck, but... if I don't break through this level, I can't convince myself, and I will feel confused. "
Lin Xian nodded:
"I understand."
He thought of the end of the third dream, the Rhine Sky City that rose and fell like a heartbeat, and the dilapidated trash can that seemed to have life.
What is life?
What is the real thought and soul?
Maybe...
This is the crucial evolutionary link that VV is breaking through:
"You go VV, but you still have to pay attention to protecting my safety, pay attention to the danger signals within a few kilometers around me, and notify me immediately if there is any danger."
"Don't worry, Lin Xian."
VV said calmly:
"What I call rest is just not using my computing power for learning and iterative evolution, but like meditation, using all my energy and computing power to think about the problems that are bothering me. This does not affect my protection of you, nor does it affect my 24-hour surveillance of Jask. "
"If you need me, just call me in time, I will definitely appear immediately."
After that.
There was no sound in the headset.
Lin Xian knew that VV had left.
This kind of telepathy is really a magical thing.
It is obviously just a data stream, without quality, entity, and no specific judgment of where it is.
But.
Lin Xian can really feel VV's departure.
This is probably the emotion that humans themselves cannot figure out clearly.
...
Guizhou, Pingtang County, Dawotang, Tianyan Radio Telescope Feed Cabin.
"Lin Xian, come and see."
Liu Feng pulled Lin Xian to the front of the experimental table, pointed to a messy pile of drawings in front of him, and pulled out one of them:
"Look, these are the capture parameters I input into the Tianyan Radio Telescope. Through these parameters, we can analyze the weak signals scattered in the universe at all times, so as to-"
Lin Xian waved his hand and interrupted Liu Feng:
"Skip the process and give the answer directly."
"Okay. "
Liu Feng was simple and clear. He pushed all the messy papers in front of him aside, took out a globe in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way, and put it on the table.
"This is the earth."
After that, he took out a pen holder and placed it a little further away from the globe:
"This is the sun."
Then, he clenched his fist and placed it diagonally above the globe:
"This is the moon."
"In fact, the position relationship of these three celestial bodies is constantly changing, moving quickly, and changing positions at any time in the universe. But in order to make it simple and clear for you to understand, I will demonstrate it like this first. After all, you don't care about some details. You just need to understand what space-time particles are and where they are. "
"That's right." Lin Xian nodded:
"Let's start the show."
"I thought that this kind of [space-time particles] that can pass through the cracks in the wall of space-time should be very small in scale, because according to my previous inference, these particles must be small enough to pass through the Planck gap. "
Liu Feng spoke faster and faster:
"But! According to my observations, this is not the case! The space-time particle I observed is very large! Of course, this large size is only relative to microscopic particles. According to calculations, the size of this space-time particle should be about the same size as a baseball, a fist, an apple, or an orange! "
"So big?"
Lin Xian frowned:
"How could such a big thing pass through the wall of time and space, let alone the wall of time and space... Even if it is a brick wall or even a tennis net, it can't penetrate it. How can it travel through time and space? Unless the wall of time and space is not complete, has a crack, a hole, or even collapses."
"Yes, that's what you said!"
Liu Feng looked serious:
"Now, it is no longer a problem of gaps in the wall of space-time. The fact that space-time particles of this scale can be observed is enough to show that-"
"[There are cracks in time and space!]"
"We don't know where this crack is and how big it is, but it is definitely much larger than the microscopic scale we thought! Think about it, since a space-time particle the size of an apple baseball can penetrate... then it can penetrate There are so many things! Such as energy, such as physical matter, such as-"
"【people】."
Lin Xian replied in a low voice.
The Riddler's oriole appeared in his mind, recalling her luminous blue eyes, recalling all her mysterious and unpredictable ways... He raised his head and looked at Liu Feng:
"[Time Traveler]."
Lin Xian said word by word:
"Since there can be cracks between time and space, and since space-time particles can get through, then other things must have a way to get through. This is why the Thousand Miles of Dike was destroyed by an ant nest. Of course... it is not appropriate to quote this allusion here. I just want to express that if things like space-time cracks are allowed to appear within the rules of the universe and space-time, then there will definitely be time-travelers!”
"Actually, I'm more curious. You said..."
"[Is it the time-travelers' behavior of traveling through time that creates space-time rifts; or does it mean that there are time-space rifts first, and then time-travelers can appear?]"
“This is a question of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, the rule or the phenomenon. What do you think?”
Um……
Liu Feng dragged his chin and thought for a while.
Lin Xian always has an open mind and puts forward some incomprehensible but constructive opinions.
Time Traveler is a setting that often appears in movies and movies. To be honest, Liu Feng didn't think about it at first.
This is also a question that cannot be verified or perjured.
The famous physicist Hawking once conducted a "Time Traveler" experiment to prove that there is no time traveler in the world——
Without telling anyone, he held a "Time Travelers Party" alone in a classroom, and then the next day, he sent a public invitation on the Internet, specifying the party location, and inviting time travellers. Came to the party last night.
Follow his logic.
If it is really possible to travel through time and space in the future, then those time travelers will definitely be able to see the invitations they sent, and then appear in the classroom where the party was held at that time yesterday.
However.
Last night, no one came to the party, and Hawking was the only one in the room the whole night.
Therefore, he used this interesting logical experiment to rule out the possibility of time travellers.
Of course... this experiment is not rigorous and is somewhat taken for granted. But his ideas do provide a new way of thinking in many fields, and they still have some teaching significance.
Do time travelers really exist?
Of course Liu Feng was not sure.
He didn't believe it before.
but……
Lin Xian is right now.
Since space-time particles from other time-spaces can come to their own time-space through space-time cracks, why can't humans?
"I think..."
Liu Feng licked his lips and said:
"If I have to make a hypothesis, I think a time-space rift must appear first, and then time travel, time travelers, and time travelers can be realized."
"But if you struggle with this, there will be no end. The next question is - how do space-time cracks appear? Is it man-made? Or is it a natural phenomenon? After all, space-time cracks don't happen for no reason, right? There needs to be an opportunity.”
"Okay, Lin Xian, let's not talk about this for now. I haven't finished telling you about space-time particles yet."
Liu Feng took a step towards the other side of the table, took out a tea egg, and placed it on the other side of the pen holder, which now symbolizes the sun:
"We assume that this tea egg is a space-time particle, and its trajectory is like this."
Liu Feng held the tea egg in his left hand and let it pass directly by the sun, and then fly straight towards the earth without any arc.
finally.
The tea egg touches the globe, symbolizing the arrival of space-time particles into the Earth's atmosphere.
"That's it."
Liu Feng explained:
"It is definitely impossible to find where this space-time particle first appeared and where the space-time rift is. In short, it is quickly passing through the sun and then flying straight towards the earth."
"According to my initial estimate, it will take about two months to reach the Earth's atmosphere, but I can't analyze the specific trajectory, because this space-time particle is really amazing, it...its movement trajectory It is very irregular and keeps changing irregularly, but the general direction remains unchanged and it is indeed heading towards the earth.”
"Moreover, this space-time particle is indeed something from outer space and time! Do you know how magical it is? I analyzed its wavelength data and found out... This space-time particle is very stable! It is extremely stable to the point of abnormality! It has no mass, It has no entity and is not affected by any external force! It does not react with any matter!”
"It's like... it's like this space-time particle is not on the same layer as our universe! We can only see with the naked eye that they are in the same picture, but they are not on the same layer at all. Can you understand this magic? Does it feel like a ghost? You can see it, but you can't touch it; you can't attack it, you can't interfere with it, and you can traverse any object. ”
"I can understand."
Lin Xian nodded.
Rather...
Precisely because of such characteristics, it can be a space-time particle, which makes it more reasonable in theory.
Um……
Um?
"wrong."
Lin Xian suddenly thought of something:
"No, no, no... there's something wrong."
He turned his head and looked at Liu Feng, feeling that the air in the feed cabin was gradually getting colder:
"You said that this space-time particle is not affected by any external force, but this is very unscientific!"
"Our earth, sun, and even the Milky Way are not stationary in the entire universe, but are all moving rapidly. The earth revolves around the sun under the gravity of the sun; the sun revolves around the center of the galaxy under the gravity of the black hole at the center of the galaxy. ; The Milky Way itself is rotating, and the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are attracting and approaching each other, and are expected to collide in 4 billion years..."
"So, our Earth's position in the universe is changing and moving all the time. I have told you before that the Earth revolves around the sun at 30 kilometers per second, and around the Milky Way at a speed of 220 kilometers per second. "
"The root of this series of motions is the attraction of [gravity]. And you just said that the space-time particle is completely unaffected by any external force. If it also obeys Newton's laws of mechanics... No external force can now If you act on it, it should always move in a straight line at a constant speed in the universe, and it should be farther and farther away from the earth, or even be thrown away in the blink of an eye!"
"If it can be attracted by gravity, then there is no problem for it to fly towards the earth, just like meteorites and comets, it is reasonable. But... if it is not attracted by any external force, how can it chase the earth and pursue it closely? What if you chase straight behind, and it will rotate and change direction with the earth, and you will never lose it?”
…
…
This discovery made Lin Xian think about it and become extremely frightened.
This is not a natural cosmic phenomenon!
Space-time particles seem to come to the earth with a goal and a purpose!
"That's right."
Liu Feng lowered his head and gently rotated the globe with his hands:
"This is why I specially asked you to come here. This is also something I can't understand. According to the normal physical laws of the universe, it is not affected by external attraction, and it is definitely impossible to exist in the universe. Chasing the earth to death.”
"Either it can control its own direction, but this is unlikely because space-time particles do not have such a complicated structure, and everything is very transparent and thorough."
"So, excluding the possibility that space-time particles will adjust their directions on their own, then there is only one truth and answer -"
Liu Feng raised his head and looked at Lin Xian with a stern expression:
"[There...is something on Earth that can attract space-time particles!]"
"Or..."
"[It's a space-time particle, I'm looking for it!]"
