Road to science and technology

Shui Wangqiu said while transmitting the research results of the Academy of Sciences to the Infrastructure.

He habitually touched his forehead, and after his shiny forehead caught everyone's attention, he continued: "We believe that the speed of light is a barrier or barrier. Matter with a positive mass squared has a speed faster than the speed of light. Low, their speed can never be increased beyond the speed of light. Matter with a negative mass square has a speed faster than the speed of light, and their speed can never be reduced to sub-light speed.”

"The former is the slow universe, which is the world we normally understand. The latter is the fast universe, which is the world where tachyons are located. The information of both exists together in the large universe, but our theories all start from the slow universe. The universe started out, so it’s hard to find tachyons.”

"We all know that when energy or force is applied to an object, the object's speed also increases, but as the speed increases, it becomes more and more difficult to increase the speed, until finally even a small increase requires the injection of a large amount of energy.

In other words, to accelerate to the speed of light, an infinite amount of energy needs to be injected. Therefore, ordinary matter can never reach the speed of light, and is always sub-light speed. "

“But in the world of tachyons, if there is matter inside and those materials are composed of tachyons, if you add energy to them, their speed will become smaller.

However, similar to ordinary matter, tachyonic matter always exceeds the speed of light, and their speed can only approach the speed of light downward. To reduce it to the speed of light, infinite amounts of energy also need to be injected. "

"Of course, the term tachyon-like matter is just a metaphor. To facilitate understanding, you can understand that tachyons correspond to what we call particles. There are many types of particles, and the same goes for tachyons."

Yue Yuanzhou casually found a sofa and sat down, reading the information and listening to Shui Wangqiu's words.

Of course, what Shui Wangqiu was talking about was not his own achievement, but the collective wisdom of the entire Academy of Sciences, including Karl, Long Lin, Yue Shengheng, Mo Zhai and many other scholars.

Yue Yuanzhou easily understood these results, and even deriving the relevant formulas of the process was not difficult for him.

With a thorough understanding of Fourier transform, you can know the correspondence between space coordinates and momentum coordinates.

From the perspective of momentum space, the inside of the light cone is called time-like space. Time-like space corresponds to states with mass. These states are always within the light cone and their speed is always less than the speed of light.

The light cone is called light-like space, which corresponds to massless states. These states are always on the light cone, and their speed is always equal to the speed of light.

The outside of the light cone is called a space-like space, corresponding to virtual mass states. These states are always outside the light cone, and their speed is greater than the speed of light.

The speed of light is like a barrier that separates sub-light speed from super-light speed, but they belong to the same time and space.

Shui Wangqiu kept talking: "So in the super-light world, it is easy to go back to the past time. The universe we are in is a four-dimensional space-time, and the three space dimensions can change the direction through rotation. Then we can It is said that the Enterprise returned to another time and space that was not affected."

"Um."

Yue Yuanzhou nodded and signaled Shui Wangqiu to continue.

However, he didn't really listen to what was said below. The main purpose of letting Shui Wangqiu continue was to let him speak to the people who were projected over.

Yue Yuanzhou knew that this method was useless for those who wanted to achieve the unification of information. Like if he went to the DC universe and then Flash ran out of another universe. In another universe, he would not exist.

Yue Yuanzhou was not listening to Shui Wangqiu's discussion, but he was thinking about it himself.

The tachyon theory of the Shenzhou civilization is not new, but this time it is discussed based on the unified theory of information.

This gave Yue Yuanzhou a different feeling.

Yue Yuanzhou thought of the light speed barrier that separates the fast and slow worlds, and then thought of the method of reducing the speed of light in the Zero Returner universe.

According to traditional theory, the speed of light can only be reduced, not increased. Just like dimensionality falling, it can only reduce the dimensionality but not increase it. This is of course from the perspective of the entire universe.

As for the method to realize the infinite speed of light, the zeroer's method is to reduce the speed of light to zero, then continue to decrease, and finally return to infinity. The same is true for dimensions, but compared to dimensions, the speed of light alone is much easier.

Yue Yuanzhou didn't know whether the Zero Returners had achieved infinite speed of light, nor did he know which of their specific theories supported their ability to reduce the speed of light to zero and then continue to drop it.

But starting from Shenzhou civilization's own grand unified theory of chaotic information, he felt that there was a way to achieve the speed of light.

Yue Yuanzhou believes that since the speed of light takes the form of a light cone and becomes a barrier between the fast and slow universe, it can also reduce the speed of light. Then, from the perspective of information unification, reducing the speed of light means shrinking the slow world while expanding the fast world.

In this way, doesn't it mean that in the process of reducing the speed of light, the matter in the slow world within the light cone becomes the 'matter' in the fast world outside the light cone. The reason why it is easy for civilizations in a slow world to reduce the speed of light but almost impossible to increase it is probably because

These civilizations all operate based on the slow world, consuming energy to slow down the speed of light by some means. At this time, the 'matter' or 'information' of the slow world will flow into the fast world. In this process, matter crosses the 'barrier' of the light cone that is pulled down, carrying a huge amount of energy.

It can be understood that the speed at which these ‘substances’ change phase increases. But when these 'matters' enter the fast world because the light barrier is pulled down, the huge energy they carry becomes a burden.

Because the 'matter' in the fast world gains energy at a lower speed, in order to ensure that it continues to exceed the speed of light, these 'matters' must lose energy, so these 'matters' throw the huge energy that has become a burden to the 'light speed barrier' , thus continuing to help civilizations in the slow world continue to lower the speed of light.

It is conceivable that if a civilization in a slow world wants to increase the speed of light, it must give energy to the "matter" that comes from the fast world and at the same time expend energy to push up the "light speed barrier."

But all this would be different if the operation was based on the fast world, because it is just the opposite. From the perspective of the fast world, increasing the speed of light is equivalent to decreasing the speed of light in the slow world.

"It's possible that the light speed barrier is a real barrier rather than one that allows for switching between fast and slow worlds as currently thought, but the principle is the same," Yue Yuanzhou muttered.

He believes that starting from the unification of information, he may be able to operate based on the fast world, thereby achieving infinite speed of light.

"It's completely possible, and since the barrier between the fast and slow worlds is the speed of light, that is, massless photons, the speed of light can be manipulated. If photons are used as the medium to communicate information between the fast and slow worlds, then doesn't it mean that tachyon detection is possible? It can be achieved.”

Yue Yuanzhou was already immersed in his own world. His fingers were tapping the armrest of the sofa rhythmically, and he thought to himself: "There must be a tachyon in the fast world that has zero energy and infinite speed."

The operation of increasing or decreasing the speed of light in the entire universe is not currently possible for the Shenzhou civilization, but if it can be successfully operated based on the fast world, it is not impossible to increase the speed of light locally.

And even if you don't engage in those, some tachyon-based technologies can still be used.

Yue Yuanzhou couldn't help but smile as he thought about it. Shenzhou civilization has already mastered the operation of losing information. It's time to play the operation of giving information or converting information.
