Chapter 934 Superstring String

So what do humans see in the microscopic world? Or what do they perceive vaguely?

The answer is that the microscopic world, microscopic high-dimensional structures, and even the most basic things in the universe are also very illusory things, strings!

That was the description of a scientist who had completed the evolution of consciousness and cognition through many years of training. He said that the things he "saw" in the microscopic world might be various magical structures composed of strings.

But he couldn't say for sure whether it was a string or not, because no one had ever seen a string.

He said it was a string, but it was just because in the knowledge system of human civilization, strings were said to be the smallest vibrations in the universe. Based on this cognition, he thought he saw a string structure.

Whether it is specific or not, a lot of verification is needed.

How to verify?

Naturally, the structure he "saw" was compared with the existing string theory. If it matches, it is the string in the physical theory of human civilization. If it doesn't match, it means it may not be a string, or it may be that the string theory of human civilization is wrong.

So how to compare?

Of course, we cannot use the subjective feeling of "seeing" to compare, but we can get the formulas and laws of regularity through "seeing", and then compare them with what humans have derived from their own theories.

This research may turn superstring theory from a hypothesis into a true statement.

Speaking of which, superstring theory is still a hypothesis for humans who are now at the fifth level of civilization.

Human physicists have always been particularly interested in superstring theory because it forces people to change their understanding of the nature of matter. The earliest understanding of the nature of matter by humans was in the Spring and Autumn Period, when humans had already realized that everything in the universe is composed of tiny point particles. There is a record in the book "Mozi": "If it is not cut, it will not move, and the theory is at the end." This means that the material is constantly divided from the middle until it can no longer be divided, and the material at this time is called "end".

The "end" mentioned by Mozi is actually the earliest point particle theory in human history. The reason why the end point is called the end point is because Mozi defined the meaning of "end".

The Mohist Classic also said: "End is the disordered and the most former of the body." End is the most primitive thing that cannot be divided into objects. It can also be understood that the first appearance of the chaotic state of the universe is the "end".

The ancients were just limited by the limitations of the times, not stupid. On the contrary, the achievements of the ancient philosophers are far higher than ordinary people's cognition. Many definitions we use now were made by Mozi, such as the rule, the square, the circle, the "long" to describe time, the "Yu" to represent the meaning of space, the concepts of "times" and "flat" in mathematics, the earliest concept of "force" in physics, the concept of the resistance arm "ben" and the power arm "biao" of the lever principle, etc., were all defined by Mozi.

And the "end" is the earliest human cognition of indivisible point particles.

However, superstring theory says that the ultimate building blocks of nature are all composed of tiny vibrating strings. If it is correct, it means that all matter, protons and neutrons, electrons, quarks, and human bodies to distant stars are all composed of strings.

Before this, no one in human civilization had ever seen the strings in theory, because they were too small to be observed. In theory, the strings were only one hundred billionth the size of a proton. In fact, the detection technology of human civilization was already very advanced, and even nano-mining robots like "Little Gray" could be built, but the strings in theory were still not visible.

The reason is that "seeing" with a detector is actually a process of interaction between elementary particles, so that human exploration of the microscopic world has always stopped at quarks.

Now, humans have "seen" the outline of strings in another way by connecting devices through consciousness.

Going down this path, maybe we can really improve superstring theory, and use strings instead of point particles to explain the diversity of point particles and the forces generated by the exchange of point particles in nature.

Superstring theory is comprehensive and elegant. It can simply explain why there are billions of different types of particles and matter in the universe with amazingly different characteristics.

Superstring theory tells people that superstring theory can produce a coherent and all-encompassing picture of nature, just like using strings to combine all musical tones and harmony rules. The rule of diversity can be derived from an apparent phenomenon, just as a string can resonate with different frequencies, and each resonance of different frequencies can produce independent tones in the scale, and vibrating strings can produce different tones.

Corresponding to the real physical world, it is to pluck the strings of physics, so as to achieve an influence from the microscopic to the microscopic and then to the macroscopic.

The same is true for physical phenomena. In superstring theory, the basic forces and various particles found in nature are actually just different modes of vibrating strings. For example, gravitational interactions are caused by the lowest vibration mode of circular strings, and higher excitations of such strings can produce different forms of matter.

It can be said that from the perspective of string theory, no force or particle is more important than any other force or particle. They are all just different vibration responses of vibrating strings.

As long as human civilization can get a glimpse of one corner, it is possible to master some technology to pluck a string to change its vibration mode and achieve a certain effect.

So based on the theories mastered by human civilization today, if superstring theory is correct, it must also have something in common with the theory of everything.

Perhaps its perfection will be one of the keys to open the road to level six civilization.

The awakener told humans that the technology that marks the sixth-level civilization is the application of various dark matter and dark energy, but he did not say what theory is needed to master that technology.

Now it seems that the theory of everything must be a pre-theory, after all, it is a theory that explains the four fundamental forces of the universe, and superstring theory may be the other leg.

The awakener said that humans have talents. One of the reasons is probably that he discovered that humans have the ability to dream in the third person, and the other is the various super-era theories possessed by human civilization.

You should know that humans have not found things like superstring theory in the databases of Chiyan Civilization and Kuntai Civilization.

This speculation has set off a wave of superstring fever in human civilization.

Countless scientists have plunged into the research of superstring theory and string concepts. Many ideas that were proposed in the Earth era before were also released and then verified and compared with observations one by one using third-person observation time.

Many new theories were also proposed under this circumstance.

For example, the S-matrix theory based on string collisions, the superstring matrix theory based on the study of the interaction between open and closed strings.

There are also various strange curved spaces explained by the role of vibrating strings. For example, the Möbius strip is the geometric shape of a single-loop Feynman diagram of colliding open strings, and the Klein bottle is the geometric shape of a single-loop Feynman diagram of colliding closed strings.

Scientists also try to use the interaction of various forms of vibrating strings to explain microscopic high-dimensional structures.

As they continue to study, human knowledge about strings is increasing. Suddenly one day, human scientists suddenly realized that the boundary problem of the small universe that the awakener had conjured up can be explained by superstring theory.

At that time, humans had explored for more than a thousand years. Although there was no result, they collected a lot of data, and those observation data are still stored in the civilization database.

Such discoveries have excited scientists, because if they can really explain it, it is an indirect proof of the correctness of cosmic strings from the side.
