Voyage of the Stars

Humans and Daya civilization have been in this small universe for more than 300 years. It is also during these 300 years that the two civilizations witnessed the birth of the Neutron Battle Star.

Of course, they not only witnessed the birth of the Neutron Battle Star, but also worked hard on scientific research during the resurgence, with the focus on dark matter-related technology.

But this technological barrier leading to the strongest civilization on the surface is not easy to break through, and the two civilizations can even be said to have no practical progress.

The dark matter theory has been full of mystery since the moment it was proposed, and the human civilization, which has reached the fifth level of civilization, has not increased its understanding of dark matter much over the past few years. Of course, cognition has definitely increased, but it is only cognition at a broad level. Progress in rigorous science and mathematics has almost stagnated.

In terms of broad cognition, humans have measured the proportion of dark matter in the universe in the Earth era, but with the improvement of civilization level, humans have found that their speculation is not too accurate. In fact, even at this stage, they can only speculate about 100%.

And the answer range must be limited to the visible universe, that is, the diameter range of 93 billion light years.

Observational data from the Earth era tells humans that dark matter accounts for 25% of the mass of the universe, dark energy accounts for 70% of the total mass of the universe, and the remaining 5% is visible matter, that is, the bright stars in the sky.

But with the advancement of science and technology, countless observational evidences have told humans that this conclusion is wrong.

After completing the theory of everything, scientists discovered that dark energy cannot actually be calculated in this way, because dark energy is not actually a proper energy. It is a bit like the saying that gravity is not a force.

So what is dark energy?

Scientists from both humans and Daya civilization have come to the conclusion that dark energy is a kind of energy that is spread throughout the universe, but it is somewhat different from the energy in the traditional sense. It has spatial properties. It is a strange energy that is infinitely averaged. It is also the culprit of the expansion of the universe.

Some theoretical scientists even believe that the so-called dark energy is actually the universe itself. It is the theoretical error that leads to the large proportion of dark energy mass. In fact, dark energy should not be counted in the total mass of the universe, because that is equivalent to treating the universe as material mass.

This statement is too absolute and has very few supporters.

However, the two views that dark energy should not account for such a large proportion and that dark energy has certain spatial properties have been recognized by the scientific community.

Compared with dark energy, the cognition related to dark matter is much more unified.

Both human and Daya civilization scientists unanimously agree on the following viewpoints: 1. Dark matter has mass performance, and in long-range force it only manifests itself in gravitational interaction, and only gravity-related technology can discover dark matter. 2. Dark matter is not a kind of matter, it is composed of dark matter with different properties, just like matter.

So far, humans and Daya civilization have also summarized the third characteristic of dark matter, but this characteristic has not been recognized by the majority of scientists because it has no credible theoretical support.

That is to say, dark matter is not composed of various fermions like matter, and they are not bosons, but a kind of matter that cannot be described by the concept of particles.

Regarding this point, human scientists gave Daya civilization scientists a word to describe it: Hunyuan Yiqi. As a result, the scientist who proposed such a word was pointed at the forehead by Daya civilization scientists and said he was superstitious.

But in fact, the human scientist just wanted to express the concept of dark matter being one and the same.

Because of their different races, the two civilizations often have similar misunderstandings, which has led to many jokes, but scientists on both sides don't care much.

For example, the concept of Hunyuan Yiqi, after getting the explanation of being one and the same, the scientists of Daya civilization also understood it, and he also agreed with this view.

After decades of research, he even co-published several papers on the unity of dark matter with the scientist who proposed this concept.

It roughly means that dark matter has zero friction on the material world and does not have any particle properties. It is a unified substance. Like neutrinos, it is in contact with all intelligent life composed of bright matter at all times. Although dark matter is one and the same, it has different types, and different types have different properties. Dark matter is also divided into dark matter and dark antimatter, both of which satisfy the law of annihilation and release of energy.

For creatures in the bright material world, it is an invisible transparent substance.

Gravitational technology can detect dark matter. A dark matter probe technology developed based on gravitational technology is now being jointly developed by humans and Daya civilization.

The theoretical basis is the theory of everything, while the data basis is still the universal super force field.

Based on the few words said by the Shenju civilization, humans and Daya civilization also determined that dark matter also has a certain radiation-like emission mechanism. It is this mechanism that makes it impossible for the environment within the galaxy to understand the vacuum zero-point energy-related technology and principles.

The reason why the sixth-level civilization can carry out long-distance voyages can actually be summarized into two reasons. One is that the sixth-level civilization has a higher warp speed. The second is that dark matter is more widely distributed than matter, and the sixth-level civilization can use dark matter to obtain the energy needed for navigation.

For example, the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are 2.54 million light-years apart, which is the distance between the most edge matter of the two galaxies. Dark matter covers a larger area, and it is possible that from the perspective of dark matter, the two galaxies are closer.

There are even dark matter islands between some extragalactic galaxies.

Lucky level 6 civilizations can use these dark matter to replenish energy to support their voyages. But even level 6 civilizations cannot predict the existence of such islands.

The reason why the awakeners are so persistent in finding traces of the pioneers is that they want to follow the pioneers' long-distance voyage routes. After all, the roads that predecessors have walked are always safer than those explored by themselves.

Of course, the existence of such dark matter islands is only a deduction based on the proportion of dark matter in the universe. Now, let alone humans, even many level 6 civilizations in the Milky Way do not know whether it exists.

This is why whether it is the awakeners, the pioneers, or the current Shenju civilization, they all say that only level 6 civilizations have the qualifications for long-distance voyages.

It's just a qualification. It seems that level 6 civilizations with the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth can also move forward with difficulty in the face of the vast universe, and the rest can only sigh in despair.

Time passed year by year, and another three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

The dark matter probe scientific research project jointly carried out by humans and Daya civilization was quite effective in the first hundred years, but then it stagnated.

However, theories about dark matter and dark energy are emerging one after another, which seems to be a prelude to a technological explosion, giving both civilizations a glimmer of hope.

For this reason, many scientists from both civilizations have made bold statements, saying that it will only take 5,000 years for both civilizations to master dark matter-related technologies.

This statement is a bit like what scientists in the Earth era said, that controlled nuclear fusion will only take another 50 years to achieve.

Forever 50 years!
