The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Xueba's Science Fiction World Text Volume Chapter 329 Wormhole The Goethe spacecraft's rescue capsule has its own hibernation function, which allows the crew to survive in space for as long as possible with the lowest energy consumption.

After setting the direction of the hibernation cabin, Pang Xuelin entered hibernation.

It doesn't matter to Sophon, anyway, as long as there is sunlight and neutrinos exist, she doesn't have to worry about running out of energy one day.

Time passed day by day, and when Pang Xuelin woke up again, another half a year had passed.

"Honey, we've arrived at Saturn!"

Pang Xuelin nodded. There was no gravity system in the escape cabin, so he slowly floated to the porthole.

Millions of kilometers away, a gigantic gas giant planet is silently suspended in the void.

The most striking thing is the beautiful rings of Saturn around the planet.

But the destination of Pang Xuelin and Tomoko is not here.

It is a strange wormhole entrance 10 million kilometers away from Saturn.

It was through this entrance that the spaceship of the shrimp civilization came to Earth.

In the real world, wormholes are just a scientific hypothesis.

The concept of wormholes originated from the study of Schwarzschild solutions. When theoretical physicists analyze the white hole solution, through a thought experiment of Albert Einstein, they find that the space-time of the universe itself may not be flat.

If a star forms a black hole, then the space-time is perpendicular to the original space-time at the Schwarzschild radius, which is the event horizon.

In the uneven space-time of the universe, this structure means a black hole.

The part inside the event horizon would combine with another part of the universe and create a hole there.

This hole can be a black hole or a white hole.

And this curved event horizon is called Schwarzschild throat, which is a specific kind of wormhole.

Physicists have been interested in the properties of wormholes ever since they were discovered in the Schwarzschild solution.

In 1935, Einstein and Nathan Rosen mathematically refined the explanation of wormholes.

Therefore, wormholes are also called "Einstein-Rosen bridges".

In general, the wormhole that people talk about is the abbreviation of space-time wormhole. It is considered as a shortcut that may exist in the universe. Through this shortcut, objects can transfer time and space in an instant.

But in the history of physics in the real world, Einstein himself does not think that wormholes exist objectively.

Therefore, in the decades after the wormhole was proposed, it was considered only possible in mathematics.

Until 1963, New Zealand mathematician Roy Kerr put forward a new hypothesis, which made the existence of wormholes regain theoretical support.

Just like humans, stars also experience the process of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Kerr believes that if a star can keep spinning as it approaches its death, it will form the "kinetic black hole" we see in the movie.

When we launch objects along the axis of rotation as in the movie, if we can break through the limit of the gravitational field at the center of the black hole, we will enter the so-called mirror universe.

The "hyperdimensional" space where the astronaut Cooper in the movie "Interstellar" lives in the black hole can actually be regarded as an interpretation of the mirror universe.

Entering the mirror universe from the universe is itself a time travel.

The wormhole connects the black hole and the white hole, and between the black hole and the white hole is transmitted to the white hole and radiated out.

Wormholes can also appear in the normal space-time of the universe, becoming a super-space-time that suddenly appears.

In the real world, there is still controversy about whether wormholes exist and in what form.

But in the world of "District Ninth", Pang Xuelin has actually seen the real body of the wormhole.

There is nothing in the void where the wormhole is located.

However, after Pang Xuelin drove the escape pod around the wormhole, he could clearly feel that when the sun's rays passed through the wormhole, there was an obvious deflection.

In the end, Pang Xuelin used the observed light information and quantum computers to construct a space model of a wormhole, an entrance that exhibits high-dimensional properties in space.

"Could it be that the wormhole is connected to a high-dimensional space?"

Pang Xuelin frowned.

Sophon on the side shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but it's theoretically possible."

Pang Xuelin said: "Sophon, if you enter the wormhole, can you use another sophon to detect the physical parameters of the inner space of the wormhole?"

Sophon shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. Just according to the records of the shrimp civilization, when they first passed through this wormhole and came to the solar system fifty years ago, the size of the wormhole reached 100 kilometers. But twenty years Before, when they came to the earth through this wormhole, the diameter of the wormhole was only 20 kilometers. Just now, we calculated that the entrance of the wormhole was less than two kilometers. At this speed, it is estimated that In a few years, the energy for maintaining the wormhole will be completely consumed, and then the wormhole that appeared in the solar system will disappear completely. I am worried that after we enter, this wormhole will become more unstable. If the wormhole Something goes wrong, and we're likely to get lost in high-dimensional spacetime."

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Whether you will get lost or not, we have to try. And now that I have completed the system tasks, I can leave this world at any time. At worst, if there is any danger, I will directly take you back to the system space and choose to return to the real world at that time." .”

Sophon thought for a moment, nodded and said: "In this case, there is no problem."

Soon, at the request of Pang Xuelin, Sophon controlled the small lifeboat and slowly sailed towards the entrance of the wormhole.

When the bow of the lifeboat touched the entrance of the wormhole, Pang Xuelin faintly felt the surrounding light fluctuate through the porthole, and a small stone was thrown on the calm water surface, causing circles of ripples.

Soon, Pang Xuelin felt as if he had been electrocuted, and there was a numb feeling, and then everything around him became strange and strange.

In the escape cabin, the original white light was suddenly broken down into colorful colors.

Layers of double images were created in the space around the bridge, and all the equipment in the escape cabin gave him a huge sense of depth and inclusiveness.

In his eyes, the bridge he sees is not one bridge, but the superimposition of countless bridges. Every wiring in the bridge, every chip, and every logic gate on the chip have been experienced. In the eyes.

This kind of texture is breathtaking, giving people a feeling of nasumi in mustard seeds.

"Tomoko, are you there?"

"Honey, I'm here."

Sophon's voice came over, as if it was close in front of your eyes, but also as if it was far away in the sky.

As soon as Pang Xuelin turned around, he saw countless sophons appearing in front of him.

He can see the beating heart of the sophon, and can see countless red nano-robots the size of atoms flowing in the body of the sophon. He feels that every detail of the sophon is infinitely magnified and presented in front of him.
