Chapter 1212: Call of the Void

【Shock! The latest icrc results, the quality is no longer conserved! Perpetual motion may no longer be a false proposition! 】
Seeing this line of titles, Lu Zhou almost did not spit out old blood.
Those who engage in media work can always twist his nose over and over again with various wonderful interpretation methods.
When did icrc say that quality is no longer conserved? He has n’t heard of this director?
Is it so difficult to correctly understand "the abnormal mass expansion phenomenon of the three sets of experimental data"?
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the building of physics is overthrown, the perpetual motion must be a false proposition.
At least on earth!
"Don't these people make a draft when they write these things?"
After looking at a few lines and feeling spicy, Lu Zhou threw the newspaper into the trash can beside him with a disgusted look. He really took a look at this kind of report and felt that it was a waste of time.
"The paper media industry is in a slump. It's normal to attract audiences through gimmicks ..." Seeing Lu Zhou, who was so busy starting to read the newspaper, Wei Teng came here and asked with interest. A little clue? "
"Don't think of me as Tinker Bell or something, I don't know more about it than you," sighed, Lu Zhou reached out and held the mouse, opened the browser and logged in to his familiar physics forum. A glance.
To his surprise, the physics community really exploded.
At least nine of the posts that are related discussions are incredibly emotional.
First, a professor at Stanford University said that if it wasn't for Moon ’s collision, he would eat boxers with a belt around his waist.
Although Lu Zhou was also very skeptical, whether the collider had a problem or the detector broke down at the same time, but the failures were so consistent that it was hard to convince this statement.
Then a professor from Oxford University came out, and the views were basically similar, but he did not suspect that the collider had a problem, but attributed the source of the error to a statistical problem, and considered that icrc was responsible for this. The project's researchers made a big oolong, and icrc should immediately set up an expert group to re-analyze the data collected by the detector.
On the other side, there are already many unknown professors on arxiv, and they have begun to place bets in advance on why this happens.
After all, the direction of theoretical physics is too difficult.
This difficulty is not just academic.
There is also a sense of real life.
In addition, not only the physics community, but also the mathematics community has been greatly affected.
Especially on the forums such as athoverflow, there are already a lot of big bulls in the field of mathematics, and they started to discuss with interest, if all this is true, will it bring some inspiration to mathematics?
Lu Zhou didn't quite understand what this revelation meant.
Even if the mass is no longer conserved, it is not possible to overthrow even the universal algorithm of 1 + 1 = 2 ...
Probably not.
"Before coming to icrc, I worked at cern for at least thirty years, but this strange situation was the first time I saw it," walking to Lu Zhou's desk with a coffee cup, Witten pondered for a while. He said, "From the perspective of a mathematician, where do you think the extra quality might come from?"
"I don't know, mathematics doesn't discuss concrete things, but I know that mass and energy cannot be added or subtracted from nothing unless ..."
Witten: "Unless?"
"Unless it comes from the other side of time ..." After saying this, Lu Zhou opened his mouth, but quickly shook his head to reject his guess, "This is impossible ... This is more than an increase in mass and energy out of thin air It would be impractical. "
Time is irreversible, which is one of the basic theorems or consensus of physics.
The curvature of space-time may change somewhere, but the direction it points to must be constant.
As to why this is said, it may be complicated to understand.
To figure this out, it must first be clear. At least in the mainstream physics view, time is not a "thing" and has nothing to do with the dimensions that make up the universe. Strictly speaking, it is a "scale" that appears with the Big Bang, pointing to the end of the universe,
Although it cannot be ruled out that new discoveries will appear later, the concept of time is redefined.
But at least for now, Lu Zhou has not seen such signs from the latest icrc findings. It can even be said that it is better to attribute it to the void than to explain the extra mass with the concept of time.
and many more!
Lu Zhou's eyes suddenly opened slightly.
Keenly captured the change of expression on Lu Zhou's face, Witten hurriedly asked.
"What did you think of?"
"A ... maybe a little unrealistic possibility."
Witten joked: "Unreliable than string theory?"
"Maybe ..." Lu Zhou thought for a while, "If I say, beyond the n strings that make up the universe, there is an n + 1th string, which does not belong to the universe we know. The life of the universe. It's like ... it's a wall on the wall, a lake reflected in the lake. "
The second half of the sentence was heard by Lu Zhou from a "person."
After listening to Lu Zhou's words, Witten raised his eyebrows.
"It seems you occasionally say something weird."
"Does anyone else ever say that?"
"Nash ... you may know that he is a genius tortured by mental pain. When he was alive, I still enjoyed discussing mathematical problems with him."
"That's too bad."
"Closer to home, about what you said ... I can't rule it out, but just like we can't prove it, it doesn't make any sense to discuss it."
After a pause, Witten continued, "The starting point of physics is until the Big Bang. Discussing things before that has no meaning except imagination. There is the end of all science unless we can reach Outside the box of the universe, otherwise we, who are in the box, do not have the slightest hope of seeing what you said ... "
"Void," Lu Zhou said as he looked at how to describe the concept of Witten, "I intend to call it that."
"Void? An interesting name," Witten shrugged. "But like I said, it doesn't make any sense."
Does it really make no sense?
All morning, Lu Zhou was worrying about it.
This is no longer scientific intuition.
But the title of the task itself already hints at it, where exactly the problem comes from. The roots of all contradictions all point to the extra dimension other than the n dimension, which is older than the Big Bang and closer to eternity than time.
However, if he writes these things in the dissertation, some people will doubt that he has gone crazy at a young age.
Somehow he suddenly felt a little sympathy for Einstein.
It is said that the old man had a miserable life in his old age. This misery was not just a political suspicion and exclusion, but also because his beloved physics had abandoned him.
People respect him, but he no longer believes him. The aura of absolute authority in his youth has faded from him, just like what he calculated on the blackboard before his death is no longer understood, and people no longer try to go deep An old man's almost chaotic mental world didn't care so much about what he said.
A leading theory is acceptable, but if the theoretical span has risen to the level of delusion, I am afraid no one will nod easily.
Maybe he really found something before he could say that everything is arranged. This sounds ridiculous.
But only he can prove that he did find something unusual ...
I ate at noon.
Lu Zhou returned to his desk and sat down, turning on the computer.
Just then, a string of bubbles popped out from the bottom right corner.
Xiao Ai: [Master, there is a new mail. 】
New mail?
With doubt, Lu Zhou landed on his mailbox and opened the unread e-mail.
When he saw the signature of the e-mail, he froze slightly.
Satoshi Nakamoto?
A weird expression appeared on his face ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lu Zhou continued to look down the mail.
The whole body has only a short sentence.
[I want to talk to you. 】
Is this a greeting?
Lu Zhou smiled, shook his head, and typed a line to reply.
[Sorry I do n’t have time recently, wait till I finish the things at hand. 】
After clicking the send button, Lu Zhou closed the mailbox and returned his attention to the draft paper on the table.
No problem can be solved by letting the mind diverge.
To find reliable clues, you must go through rigorous calculations.
Whether you can find out the problem.
At least, he needs to be fully prepared for the next experiment ...
