Great Country Academician

Chapter 960 Warp Drive

The scholars who paid attention to the CRHPC acceptance report meeting were not only the physicists on the scene.

Many scholars who were unable to come to China for various reasons, as well as universities and physics research institutions in various countries around the world, also paid great attention to this acceptance report meeting.

Although the media news report has not yet come out, professional scholars in the field of physics have never relied on media news to understand the progress and breakthroughs in their familiar fields.

They will find the live video of the acceptance report meeting through various channels, or learn about the information from friends who attended the report meeting.

Of course, it may also be a document waiting for the organization holding the report meeting to be officially disclosed to the public.

Just like now, after the CRHPC organization uploaded the live video of the acceptance report meeting of the 125Tev energy level collision experiment of inert neutrinos and massive dark matter particles to the official website, almost all scholars who followed the latest progress of this research showed surprise and astonishment on their faces.

It is not a big deal for the 125Tev energy level collision experiment to pass the acceptance.

For scholars who keep paying attention to the research of the CRHPC organization, everyone knows that this is sooner or later.

But no one expected that at the report conference, Professor Xu Chuan would complete such an achievement and make an amazing prediction.

Cτ inert neutrino particle!

A medium-mass dark matter particle with a fission energy level of 13Tev-17Tev and a mass of 12.5Tev!

The most important thing is that this particle is outside the standard model!

It is a dark matter particle that human civilization has never explored and confirmed before today!

For many physicists, they are amazed not only by the Cτ inert neutrino particle itself, but also by the brand-new predictions made by that person at the report conference.

If it is true as Xu Chuan predicted, then the massive dark matter particles in the early universe are much larger than the dark matter in the universe now.

This will play a key role in promoting the study of various celestial structures such as the origin of the universe and the formation of galaxies, and provide extremely important evidence and theories.

And compared with these, the conjecture he made in the final prediction can be said to make everyone crazy.

"Our universe is not smooth. It may be like the waves, full of wrinkles."

"Perhaps one day in the future, we can use the huge energy released by the fission of massive dark matter to distort the wrinkles of space, and use the curvature of space itself to generate power, so that spacecraft can safely travel at speeds several orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light."

"Or with the energy released by dark matter, we can directly make a hole in the wrinkled film of space and connect to the universe several light years or even more distant."

These two sentences are very easy to understand for any physicist.

The former corresponds to one of the solutions for superluminal travel in the physics community, the curvature engine!

It is also called the 'warp engine', which is a superluminal propulsion system.

Its working principle is based on Einstein's general theory of relativity, that is, the existence of matter will cause the surrounding space-time to be curved.

The curvature engine creates an artificial "bubble" (curvature bubble) of normal spacetime around the spacecraft, using the curvature of space itself to generate power, so that the spacecraft can safely travel at speeds several orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light, while avoiding the relativistic problem of time dilation.

The latter is also based on the concept of "Einstein-Rosen Bridge" perfected by Einstein and another scientist Nathan Rosen.

This is its academic name. If it is in science fiction novels or science fiction movies, it is usually called "wormhole", "space-time tunnel", "space-time hole" and other familiar names.

A wormhole is a special structure allowed to exist in general relativity. It can directly connect two points in spacetime, no matter how far apart the two points are in space or time interval.

Simply put, a "wormhole" is a thin tube of spacetime connecting distant regions of the universe.

It is equivalent to if you are on the surface, if you want to rush from China to the United States, you need to cross the curved surface.

A wormhole is that you directly drill a hole underground, jump in, and then come out on the other side of the earth in the United States.

By using this characteristic of wormholes, we may be able to complete long-distance space travel or time travel in a shorter time.

But for modern physics, both the curvature engine and the Einstein-Rosen bridge are only theoretical speculations and conjectures.

So far, scientists have not observed any evidence of the existence of either, and even the corresponding mathematics have not been completed by anyone.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost every scholar who noticed this prophecy was shocked, and some even exclaimed in disbelief, is time travel going to be realized in this era?

Many people are regretting why they did not choose to attend this acceptance report meeting and missed such exciting content.

At the same time, on the other side.     Compared to those scholars who regretted not being able to participate in this acceptance report meeting, the situation on the scene was obviously even crazier.

Just after Xu Chuan made this new prediction and conjecture, when the applause that could overturn the entire lecture hall gradually stopped, the scholars and other staff members or media reporters in the venue also came back to their senses.

Looking at the back of the person who was about to leave the venue, when the first reporter who reacted rushed over with a camera to try to interview, the others also came to their senses.

Almost everyone stood up quickly and rushed to the report table.

Some people followed Xu Chuan's footsteps, hoping to interview him or learn about dark matter, warp engines, space-time wormholes and other issues.

Some people also walked towards the mobile blackboards standing on the report table, hoping to take a complete picture of them and take them back for further research.

In short, the scene was in chaos.

If the staff within the CRHPC institution had not reacted quickly, I am afraid that there might be a serious stampede at the acceptance report meeting today.

Of course, not everyone was like crazy, there were still some relatively calm scholars sitting in their chairs without moving.

Some of them looked at the dense crowds rushing to the front of the lecture hall and knew that they could not squeeze through, so they were forced to sit back in their seats. By the way, they took out their mobile phones from their pockets to record this historic moment.

Some of them were real big guys. At this moment, they sat in their seats as steady as a rock, and communicated with their friends with emotion.

Sitting in his seat, looking at the chaotic scene, Witten said with emotion.

"It's hard to imagine that he seems to have really found the secret about time and space. How long has it been?"

Sitting next to him, Professor Frank Wilczek asked curiously: "What secret of time and space? I have heard you say this twice."

Although Witten had revealed a little about Xu Chuan's research to him before, he was not very clear about the so-called secret of time and space in his mouth.

The research on the Einstein-Rosen bridge direction was proposed by Xu Chuan at the National Mathematicians' Congress in St. Petersburg in 2022. Wilczek is not a mathematician and did not participate in that meeting.

As for the subsequent vacuum field theory, although he knew about it, there was no content about it in it. At least, the papers related to the void field theory revealed and published by Xu Chuan did not mention these things in full.

Recalling in his mind, Witten thought and said: "That was proposed at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 22 years. You are not a mathematician, so you did not attend that meeting."

"In short, at that time, he was trying to explore the Einstein-Rosen bridge, that is, the space-time wormhole, a mechanism that can travel through the universe and time through mathematics."

"He tried to use mathematics, high-dimensional space and topology and related mathematical theories to establish a complete set of theories on Einstein's general relativity."

Hearing this, Wilczek asked quickly with interest: "Did he succeed?"

Witten shook his head and said: "Probably not."

After a pause, he continued: "In the discussion of the conference at that time, he proposed that the curvature of space-time would construct the Einstein-Rosen bridge, that is, the concept of 'wormhole'. But he believes Under normal circumstances, they are in a 'silent' state in the universe, requiring huge energy or a certain particle or something to start and stabilize. "

"However, no results were obtained at the discussion meeting at that time. Later, I contacted him to inquire about the progress in this regard, but nothing was obtained. "

Wilzek ​​thought for a while and said, "You just said that he might have found the secret about time and space, and found the mysterious particle?"

Witten: "I don't know."

Wilzek: "? ? ? What do you mean by not knowing?"

Witten shrugged and said, "I don't know. For research in this area, I'm afraid you can only get some answers by asking him in person."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go find him now."

As he said, Frank Wilzek ​​was about to get up and drag this friend to find Xu Chuan.

However, Witten's body sitting on the chair did not move. His eyes fell on the blackboards on the report desk that were surrounded by people, and he spoke lightly.

"Don't waste your energy. I think he may be perfecting this part in his office right now. Even if you go, you may not be able to get any answers."

"If there is any result from this theoretical research, he will definitely announce it as soon as possible. Wait."

"If you have this time, you might as well study how he calculates dark matter particles."
