ramla ant nest

"You are all right, this is exactly the problem." Situ said, "The speed of waves is also limited, and each wave takes time. The theoretical maximum speed of curvature drive is ten times the speed of light, but we are now far away The earth is already a thousand light years away. If the atomic clock of my consciousness is not wrong, one year has passed since we were in the South Pacific. In other words, we have advanced at least a thousand light years in one year. , our speed is a thousand times the speed of light, far greater than the theoretical maximum of curvature propulsion."

"Maybe your atomic clock is not accurate!" Crow said.

"That means a hundred years have passed since the earth, or even longer." Situ said.

"Um..." Crow thought of Ruhua, who was over a hundred years old, using a cane to make elbows for him. He quickly shook his head, and then said seriously, "After careful evaluation by the undergraduate, Crow, your atomic clock is still very accurate. The croak!"

Situ laughed loudly and said, "Thank you for your assessment, Science Crow!"

Alice said thoughtfully: "So is it possible that it is a wormhole and that we have a space jump?"

Su Huilan said: "Anyone who tries to pass through a wormhole will die in the pinch. Theoretically, only wormholes connecting black holes and white holes are possible to pass through. Matter will be sucked in at the black hole end, and at the white hole end. Be ejected. Let’s not talk about whether there can be a black hole on the earth. Even if there is an unstable wormhole somewhere in the South Pacific and we are captured by it when it opens, then our body will enter the event horizon of the black hole. will be torn into pieces. Unless all we have left now is a consciousness, and our nervous system may not have time to perceive the fact that we have been torn into pieces, so we still think we are alive."

This sounds a bit scary. Although Boris is a big boss, he can still understand the words being torn to pieces by a black hole and dead. He pinched his face hard and screamed, "Impossible! I can still feel the pain!"

Situ smiled and said: "Yes, each of us is alive and well, there is no doubt about that! Even if there are stable wormholes that can be traversed, such as space jumps based on cosmic strings. But the problem now is, we The position has been moving, which shows that we are still in the process of crossing, not at the end point of the crossing. It is impossible for anyone to stay inside the wormhole or in the space crack!"

"Then what the hell is this place?"

"This is Ramla!" Mrs. Larry, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

"Ramla?"

"Yes." Mrs. Larry said, looking at the savages standing or sitting quietly not far away, "That's what they call it."

"My tribe is also called that." Situ said, "It seems that although their languages ​​​​are different, they are consistent in the names of some important terms."

"What's the use of just knowing a noun? I can also give it the name of a 5A-level scenic spot in the Milky Way! You have to at least give it a definition-" Boris said, "Is it Ramla Island? Or La Planet Ramla? Or Ramla Bragging Club?”

Mrs. Larry said: "There is more than one island here, but I am not sure if it is a planet. They obviously have no such concept."

"I can help them refine this term -" Situ said, "Ramla ant nest!"

"Anthill?"

Situ nodded: "In our impression, we have always been on the island. But from the changes in the starry sky, we can infer that we have been changing our spatial positions. In other words, the Ramla space we are in is very likely It is not a wormhole connecting two endpoints, but a complex twisted space composed of multiple wormholes or multiple cosmic strings. It connects more than one endpoint, possibly three, five or even countless. Any two Each endpoint can be interconnected. When the number of endpoints increases, the number of spatial connecting lines, that is, channels, will increase exponentially. There is only one channel for two endpoints, ten channels for five endpoints, and there will be (n endpoints) n-1)n/2 channels. These channels all return through a high-dimensional space, just like the bottleneck of the Klein bottle returns to the belly of the three-dimensional bottle through the four-dimensional space.

When discussing the structure of the universe, we once made such a model and named this structure the 'ant nest' structure. The high-dimensional space through which all channels pass is called the mother nest, and the mother nest is usually a black hole. "

"Why is it called an anthill? It sounds a bit like..." Boris imagined many soft and twisted tentacles extending out of a black hole, "a black sea anemone?"

Situ said: "The appearance of sea anemones may be more vivid, but it does not meet the definition of space. Have you ever seen an ant's nest? Ants can be simply defined as approximately two-dimensional creatures. In their world, everything is flat and there is no ground. It is undulating, so when we explain the planar structure of a Möbius strip or a Klein bottle, we always like to let an ant crawl over it. But the structure of the ant's nest is very complex, even in the three-dimensional world, it can be called It's very exquisite. This is a typical example of organisms establishing a spatial structure that transcends their own dimensions, so we call this complex spatial structure that exists in the dimension we live in but is higher than our dimension an 'anthill'."

"To put it bluntly, it's still a wormhole!" the crow muttered.

"Yes, an ant hole is still a wormhole!" Situ said with a smile, "But this wormhole is much more complicated and advanced than ordinary wormholes."

"Then we still have to go through a black hole?" Su Huilan felt that going through a black hole was unrealistic.

"A single wormhole must start from a black hole and end in a black hole or a white hole, but not an anthill. All channels in an anthill are connected to the black hole, but they do not necessarily need to pass through the black hole. Remember the Klein bottle you said? Bottleneck When entering the bottle, you pass through a four-dimensional space, but the surface of the bottle can be fully exposed to the three-dimensional space, because it has only one plane, and the same plane will not be in two different three-dimensional spaces. Ant The same is true for caves, whose passages pass through the black hole or are affected by the gravitational pull of the black hole, but when we travel through its three-dimensional walls, we do not need to enter the interior of the black hole."

"Because it's squirming?" Su Huilan thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, because it is crawling." Situ nodded, "Any type of wormhole that conforms to the general theory of relativity will collapse unless it is supported by strange matter with negative energy. We are now in Ram, which is full of strange energy. Inside the anthill, this is the surfboard we are riding on. When we approach the black hole, this energy and the repulsion of the black hole will cause space to creep, and we will slide away from the edge of the black hole."

"Are you saying that every time there is fog, we are closer to a black hole?"

"That's not necessarily true. For example, we go to the island when there is fog on the earth, but the earth obviously cannot be close to the black hole. I think it may be that when some energy in this space accumulates to a certain extent, Ramla will It automatically opens the closed state to release this energy, and fogging is just its appearance. Just like when we drive, if people stay in the car for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be fog on the car glass. At this time, we need to open the window to ventilate it. "

"Then when the fog starts, the space rift opens, and we have a chance to return to Earth!"

"Yes, but it's possible to go further afield."
