Chapter 788: ‘Vacuum decay’ that destroys the universe?

CRHPC headquarters.

In the auditorium that can accommodate 10,000 people, a world-renowned event is taking place.

When Xu Chuan stepped onto the stage again and the big screens fell, the atmosphere in the venue reached a new height.

The applause was like a heat wave, one after another.

The 130 trillion electron volt collision experiment is undoubtedly the most magnificent high-energy physics experiment that mankind has ever conducted!

Standing in the center of the stage, Xu Chuan had a smile on his face and a confident look in his eyes.

After the applause in the venue stopped, he took a deep breath and spoke steadily and clearly:

"The first 130Tev collision experiment of the CRHPC Circular Intense Particle Collider will officially start in ten minutes."

"Glory is coming, let us witness this historic moment together!"

On the projection screen, the picture jumped, and different screens showed the tense and orderly working scenes of different working groups.

At the same time, clear reports echoed throughout the venue, reaching the ears of everyone with hope in their eyes.

[CRHPC fusion reactor preparations completed, energy supply and regulation are normal! ]

[Track cleared, confirmed to be faultless! ]

[Energy supply system in good condition! ]

[Superconducting system stable, liquid nitrogen circulation cooling completed! ]

[.]

[Detector calibration completed! ]

[Collision target energy level: 130 trillion electron volts! ]

When all the preparations were complete, everyone in the 10,000-person meeting held their breath, and the silence was audible.

On the stage, Xu Chuan took a deep breath and issued an order

"Release the particle cluster!"

Accompanied by the steady and powerful command, the staff who had already made all the preparations started their work in a stable and orderly manner.

Unlike the first 17Tev energy level collision, after more than ten days of stable acceleration, the particle clusters in the main pipeline energy storage ring had already been accelerated to the target energy level.

As the command fell, the particle clusters that were enough to simulate the explosion of the universe 15 billion years ago collided at the detector.

Sparks and fragments were ejected, energy and matter were manifested, and the detectors deployed on the pipeline recorded the dazzling light completely.

When the original collision data was processed by the supercomputing center and projected on the screen, the rough energy spectrum images pushed the atmosphere in the conference hall to the highest peak.

Everyone couldn't help but stand up, gave thunderous applause, and cheered for this moment from the bottom of their hearts.

The collision of particles at the energy level of 130 trillion electron volts created the most beautiful and brilliant scenery in the world!

At the same time, on the other side of the Eurasian continent.

In the headquarters building of CERN in Geneva.

The acceptance report meeting for the detection data of the coupling constant of strong electric symmetry breaking is also being held.

This meeting, which is also "attracting worldwide attention", was arranged by CERN in the largest lecture hall No. 1.

On the report platform, the Dalitz diagram with a confidence level of 5 sigma for the detection data of the coupling constant of strong electrosymmetry breaking has been released.

Below the report platform, the acceptance team arranged by CERN and the top physicists from all over the world sat in the front row, listening carefully and seriously to the work report of Professor Fox Hale of Stanford University.

As time passed, the report work gradually came to an end.

In the second row of the lecture hall, Professor Sheldon Glashow, with white hair, asked Professor von Klitzing beside him: "What do you think?"

Staring at the Dalitz diagram that had been released on the stage, after thinking for a long time, Professor Klitzing replied: "The logic is self-consistent, and there is nothing wrong with the Dalitz diagram from the data. At least I can't find any shortcomings."

"But."

"But what?"

Klitzing shook his head and said: "Nothing."

After casually responding to Professor Glashow, Klitzing stared at the PPT picture on the stage, on which the Dalitz diagram of the coupling constant of strong electrosymmetry breaking was deeply engraved in his eyes.

For him, this was not the first time he participated in the acceptance report of high-energy physics theory, and he even served as a member of the acceptance team for many times.

But to be honest, this was the first time he encountered such a perfect acceptance report.

From the time that Professor Fox Hale of Stanford University came on stage to report on his work, to the other party's work report, to the original data, analysis data, Daritz diagram data, etc., almost everything went smoothly to incredible.

Although there was a prediction made by the strong-electric unified theory, the acceptance report meeting that was so smooth and almost without any doubts always made him feel a little uneasy.

But he couldn't find where this trace of uneasiness came from.

After all, judging from the various data reported and the situation of the questioning session, it can be said that the acceptance work of the coupling constant of the strong-electric symmetry breaking this time was very perfect.

"The original data is correct, the analysis data is correct, and the Daritz diagram is also fine. There should be no problem."

After silently checking all the data again in his heart, Klitzing also let go of his uneasiness.

After all, science speaks with data, not relying on one's own feelings.

On the side, Professor Sheldon Glashow did not have such a feeling. He smiled and said, "It seems that the theory of strong-electric unification will be verified. I didn't expect to see this great achievement in my lifetime."

After a slight pause, he looked at the report desk and said with some emotion, "It's a pity that Professor Xu Chuan is not here and missed this historic moment."

Hearing this familiar name, Professor von Klitzing's heart moved.

If there is anyone who knows the coupling constant of the theory of strong-electric unification and strong-electric symmetry breaking better than everyone present, it is only Professor Xu Chuan.

Perhaps the relevant acceptance report video can be sent to him to see.

Thinking about it, von Klitzing decided to ask the CERN Council for an original acceptance report video and bring it to China.

In the afternoon of August 1st, China time.

Only half a day later, the news that the CRHPC circular strong particle collider was successfully started and successfully completed the 130Tev energy level collision experiment was transmitted to every corner of the world like riding a rocket.

The related reports were undoubtedly on the news panels of major media.

In this regard, China and foreign countries are divided into two completely different surfaces.

For the work of CRHPC, domestic reports can be said to be all positive, or wishing CRHPC scientific research to go smoothly.

In foreign countries, the related news reports are much more complicated.

There are both positive and negative ones.

[The large particle collider of China's CRHPC institution has broken through the 130TeV energy level for the first time, and high-energy physics research has entered a new era! ]

[Exploration of the microscopic world, China is simulating the scene of the Big Bang! ]

[InsulateBritain environmental protection agency issued a warning that the operation of the CRHPC collider is very likely to cause instability in the global magnetic field and trigger a huge geological disaster.]

[Beware! The CRHPC strong collider is very likely to create a black hole that destroys the entire world! ]

[The BBC radio media said that the collision energy level of up to 130Tev may cause vacuum decay, thereby endangering the earth and even the entire universe! 】

【.】

In his office at the CRHPC headquarters building, Xu Chuan sat on the sofa, flipping through the news on his tablet while taking the brewed tea from the newly recruited female assistant.

Looking at the headlines that were more exaggerated than the last, from the instability of the global magnetic field and geological disasters, to black holes and endangering the entire earth, to endangering the entire universe.

Xu Chuan couldn't help shaking his head.

This group of unscrupulous media is simply amazing.

On the side, Senior Brother Lin Feng, who was sipping his coffee, looked over and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Xu Chuan smiled, handed over the tablet in his hand, and said, "I just saw some interesting news."

Lin Feng took the tablet, flipped it over, and threw it directly on the coffee table. He couldn't help but complain, "You actually still read this?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's interesting to read it occasionally, isn't it?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I think they should implement the nine-year compulsory education work. The harm to the universe has come out."

Xu Chuan laughed and said, "Thanks to the BBC media, it seems that this time they consulted with physicists to understand it? They even know about vacuum decay."

Although I know that foreign media will definitely deliberately guide public opinion and criticize the work of CRHPC, at least find a more reliable reason, right?

Black hole? Vacuum decay?

What are these?

Theoretically, the Large Intense Particle Collider can indeed create black holes, and CERN even did this ten years ago.

But Cricket wants to create a black hole that can swallow the earth with a 100-Tev collider. Not to mention that the circumference is only 62 kilometers, even if a super collider is built around the equator, it is not enough.

Relying on this energy level alone is like the inherent impression that the atomic bomb can destroy the earth.

In fact, detonating all the atomic bombs currently owned by humans at the same time is only enough to scrape the earth.

The damage is no different from an adult scratching the skin, and even no blood will flow.

As for vacuum decay

It’s the BBC’s effort.

Maybe they were resentful because of the last time they were scolded?

I don’t know which physicist they interviewed, or from which corner they dug out the information.

Vacuum decay refers to quantum transition, that is, the process of quantum at a high energy level to a low energy level. Its basic principle is Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.

For example, a photon or an electron cannot have a definite position and a definite momentum at the same time.

The uncertainty of energy will lead to some strange effects. For example, particles such as photons can suddenly appear from nothing, but then disappear again immediately. The probability of this phenomenon is one of the above strange effects.

In Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "Morning Path", the concept of vacuum decay has appeared.

In the novel, once a high-energy particle accelerator is used to accelerate particles to an energy close to the energy of the creation of the universe, vacuum decay will be triggered, and the vacuum decay phenomenon will spread to the universe at the speed of light. Its energy will be concentrated at the edge of the spread, quickly devouring the outside and destroying all the contents.

But this is just a theoretical speculation. In all previous experiments, the vacuum state of the modern universe has not experienced vacuum decay.

As for the reason, no one can tell.

Perhaps the current vacuum and the "real vacuum" are blocked by energy? Or perhaps it is the instability of the vacuum? Or perhaps it is other unknown factors?

Anyway, for now, no one knows what the real vacuum decay is like, after all, it has never really happened.

But looking back, even if the vacuum decay phenomenon is theoretically established, if you want to trigger this condition through a collider, I am afraid that a super collider with a diameter of 100,000 light years around the Milky Way may not be able to reach this energy level.

It is really ridiculous to talk about this with the energy level of CRHPC being only more than 100 Tev.

PS: I will ask for a monthly ticket for the second update.

PY recommends this book, "Who is still a human being after rebirth?"

Recommendation: After being released from prison, Xu Qingshan was reborn in 2008 and found that his understanding was against the sky.

"The law of success, I only say three points: don't treat others as human beings, don't treat yourself as a human being."
