Voyage of the Stars

"We knew in the Earth Age that establishing matter itself from geometry was, in a sense, a problem that string theory had to solve. And now, we have solved what previous Earth Age scientists called 'some sense.'"

Dao Heiqi, who was having a talk with his colleagues in the Institute of Physics back then, came to the virtual world more than a hundred years later. He was talking on the podium, and in the audience were a group of scientists participating in the exchange meeting.

Most of them are scientists from human civilization and Daya civilization, with some scientists from civilizations that are members of the Star Alliance and the Immortal Trade Federation, such as Nair civilization, Gurgi civilization, Tiangu civilization, etc., but there are very few.

Because it is in a virtual world, everyone can face each other face to face. This is also the only way for different races to face each other. The other is holographic projection technology.

Each race participates in its own form, and there is no option for body modification. This results in a hall filled with various forms of intelligent life.

It is worth mentioning that because aliens not only have hands and feet, but also use land to move, just like the Daya civilization, they are molluscs that look soft and waxy.

But in the synagogue, there was no discrimination because of different bodies. Maybe there was, but no intelligent life dared to show it.

Such meetings are usually broadcast live simultaneously among the various member civilizations, and those civilized people are proud of it. Every time I see a scientist of my own race in there, it will cause widespread discussion. Some people talk about the achievements of that scientist, and some people say that the scientist's salary is so good that he can be respected by human civilization and elegant civilization.

For civilizations that are members of the Star Alliance or the Fairy Trade Federation, that is a matter of supreme honor. Many member civilization individuals even dream about how one day they can join the main civilization through consciousness uploading technology and become a member of the main civilization individual.

Having said that, it is of course impossible for Dao Heiqi to be the only speaker in such a scientific research results exchange meeting. Before him, many representatives of human and Daya civilization scientific research groups have expressed their opinions. After Dao Heiqi, there will also be many representatives who want to share their research results.

Dao Heiqi raised his head and glanced at the strange alien intelligent life in the audience, and continued to talk about his team's exploration of superstrings and dark matter in recent years.

"It can be thought of as a theory like the four-dimensional hybrid string, which is originally a theory of gravity, in which matter particles and other natural forces emerge in the same way that gravity emerges from geometry."

"In fact, gravitons or quantum gravity appear as the smallest vibration of a closed string. Our previous grand unified theory tried its best to avoid mentioning Einstein's gravity theory, but the theory of everything is not, and the theory of everything includes it. Come in."

"As long as we base our calculations solely on self-consistency requirements, we can map gravity from superstring theory. This is also one of the research results under the framework of the theory of everything."

After a pause, Dao Heiqi continued to speak loudly. After his words were spoken, they were immediately translated by the preset translation system into a language that can be understood by individual beings in various civilizations.

"We are about to succeed. The mapping formula of gravity to superstrings puts us at the last step of the puzzle to complete the method of manufacturing dark matter probes. This is a victory after the superstring theory is perfected, and it is also a victory for us together. The result of hard work.”

"As for the last piece of the puzzle, we have found the direction, which is superstring field theory. As early as the primitive civilization of our human beings, scientists in our human civilization proposed such a theory: thinking that elementary particles may be pulsating spots of matter, and It’s not a point. This is a conclusion based on the field theory of strings, but no matter how hard our ancestors of human civilization tried, they could not solve the problem that the field theory of spots always violates the causal relationship.”

"The reason is that if you shake the spot at a point, the interaction will propagate through the spot faster than the speed of light, which violates special relativity and creates a time paradox."

"But now our scientific research team has solved this problem. The observation results tell us that it is actually a form of superstring vibration, and the seemingly super-light propagation phenomenon is actually the vibration of strings propagating at microscopic low latitudes. The performance is a kind of dimensional information dissemination.”

"It's very magical. Unfortunately, I can't describe it to you, because the observation of it involves the racial talent of our species. However, I can responsibly tell everyone here that the extremely microscopic world of the universe does have such physical rules."

Dao Heiqi looked at the aliens present with pride: "Based on this, we calculated many vibrating strings in space and time and obtained many possible configuration solutions for them. I have uploaded the solution process and results to the conference Colleagues can download the minutes folder for calculation and verification.”

"Our superstring field theory correctly reflects all the information of the string configuration. Although it still needs improvement, it is sufficient for now because its topological structure perfectly solves the final difficulty in manufacturing our dark matter probe."

“In the primitive civilization stage of our human race, our scientists once said, ‘No one is smart enough to solve superstring field theory’, and they also said, ‘There is no non-perturbation method that can deal with superstring theory’. "

"Yes, in that era, this was an unsolvable problem, because the technology required to solve the superstring field was beyond the ability of any physicist at that time, so that our physicists at that time regretted that what was in front of them was a perfectly defined superstring theory, but there were unsolvable microscopic high-dimensional problems. And now we have solved all these problems."

Daoheiqi's words caused a group of aliens attending the meeting to whisper, all of whom were talking or sighing.

Humans actually had such profound theories in the primitive civilization era. Although most of them were wrong, they undoubtedly proved the greatness of the human race.

The discussion of alien scientists did not make the hall noisy, because in this virtual world hall, private discussions would have functions like the "game private chat" channel.

This meeting is very important because the Daoheiqi team completed the last puzzle of the dark matter probe, which means that humans and Daya civilization will have the ability to manufacture dark matter probes from now on.

The two civilizations will be able to "see" the existence of dark matter directly.

This is undoubtedly a turning point. If we can "see" and operate it, then all the experiments previously envisioned can be officially launched.

It can be said with certainty that the emergence of dark matter probes means that human civilization and Daya civilization have already stepped on the sixth level of civilization.

Because the so-called dark matter probe is not just a probe for detection, it is also a tool that can operate dark matter in theory.
