Chapter 1290: Straighten curly space-time

icrc headquarters.
In an office with whiteboards on the walls.
Facing one of the almost white boards, Professor Wei Hong, holding a marker in his hand, pondered for a long time, and suddenly broke his silence.
"I thought of it!"
Professor Davik, standing next to him, asked quickly.
"What do you think?"
Starting from just now, including Luo Wenxuan, three people are discussing the "possible cause of the disturbance of the gravitational field caused by z particles". Wei Hong gave a possibility from a mathematical point of view on the whiteboard.
However, while the other two were listening carefully, what he was talking about suddenly stopped. The whole person seemed to be stuck with something, and stood there for a long time.
Now finally, Professor Davik, who thought he had discovered something amazing, quickly cast a questioning look at him.
Facing the inquiries from the partners, Professor Wei Hong groaned for about two minutes, sorted out the ideas that came to his mind into simple and understandable words, and then spoke.
"The essence of gravity is the bending of the object's mass to space-time. Z particles moving from high to low dimensions do not interfere with the gravitational field itself, but change the curvature of space-time relative to the gravitational field."
Then, he picked up the pen and drew two parallel circles on the whiteboard, and connected the upper and lower ends of the circle with two arcs.
"There is a curvature in space-time, assuming the curvature is x, assuming these two lines are the gravitational field lines in regular space-time, when the z particle oscillates at both ends, the value of x changes, or is even reduced to infinitely close to zero , And the two arcs will also be drawn indefinitely, approaching a straight line— "
Looking at the two clean and straight lines drawn by Professor Wei Hong between the two arcs, Luo Wenxuan's face gradually showed a look of surprise.
"I see what you mean, but this sounds ... a little strange. In other words, we only need two lunar hadron colliders to make a portal on the other side of the galaxy?"
Wei Hong shook his head.
"This analogy is inappropriate. To be precise, it is more like setting up a highway between two rolling hills."
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, matter and time (time and space) will bend due to the existence of matter. The classic universe in which matter is universal, that is, the universe that humans can directly observe, obviously belongs to a "curvy" universe.
In this curved universe, a straight line moves from a to b on the surface, but in fact, in a high-dimensional universe, it takes a twisted course.
If Wei Hong's conjecture is correct, it means that they may "straighten" the curly space-time in some way, directly along a truly "straight line", through this curly universe, Go where they want to go.
Take Mars as an example. The closest distance between Mars and Earth is 55 million kilometers, and it takes 182 seconds to walk even at the speed of light.
However, if the curved space-time between the two is "straightened"-even just the width of a highway, the distance may be shortened to 5.5 million, or even 550,000 kilometers.
In this case, even if you do n’t master the method of exceeding the speed of light, you can break through the limit of the speed of light in actual effects and traverse the universe in units of light years in a very short time.
Frightened by the broad prospects behind this theory, Luo Wenxuan was stunned for a long time, before gradually showing a serious expression and asking.
"Is there a way to prove it?"
"It's hard," looking at the formulas on the whiteboard solemnly, a bitter smile gradually appeared on Wei Hong's face, "or more accurately, it's quite difficult. This involves both complexity and difficulty. It is related to the most complex problem of high-dimensional differential manifolds and algebraic geometry in mathematics. It is no exaggeration to say that if this problem is abstracted into a mathematical problem, it will not be less difficult than Poincaré conjecture! "
Hearing this sentence, Luo Wenxuan and Professor Davik looked at each other.
Even for the latter, who is not good at mathematics, it is clear about the seven millennial problems in mathematics.
As the crown in differential geometry, Poincaré conjectured that it took nearly three centuries of effort by three generations of mathematicians to remove it from the top of the mountain.
If solving this problem is more difficult than Poincaré's conjecture ...
They have almost no chance of winning.
"If this conclusion can be proved, I am afraid that there is nothing wrong with renowning history." With an envious tone, Professor Davik said,
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "It's more than a history ... If it can be done, at least it must be in a position with Einstein."
This is the key to the edge of the Milky Way!
Who can find it, who is its father in the interstellar age.
Even if it theoretically provides a feasible idea for navigation between star systems, its significance is extremely great. And if in the distant future someone really realizes hyperspace navigation through their theory, I am afraid that even Einstein and Newton would have to be compared by this supreme glory.
Foreseeing this, Professor Wei Hong also sighed softly.
"Unfortunately, this theory is not something that can be done by ordinary people ... at least it is beyond my ability."
"What about Professor Witten?"
"If he was in his thirties, maybe he could, but now ... basically impossible," he paused, and Wei Hong continued. "At present, the most promising solution to this problem is probably Professor Lu. "
After seeing the two of them looking at themselves in unison, Luo Wenxuan gave a slight stun, and then sweated wildly.
"You all look at what I do."
Professor Wei Hong rightly said, "You and Professor Lu have the best relationship ... from the perspective of success rate, it is more appropriate for you to ask him for help."
Davik nodded quickly and agreed.
"I also think so."
The experience of being detained at Jinling Airport last time made him really do not want to experience it again.
"Even if you look at me like this, it's no use. Although I am his brother, but ... he is now retreating, and it is almost impossible to contact him."
When talking, Luo Wenxuan couldn't help but a helpless expression appeared on his face.
To be honest, he is a cheap brother, maybe he is not as high as the apprentice of that guy.
Professor Davik didn't hesitate and tried to make a final effort to open his mouth.
"But ... how can you know if you can't even try it?"
"Nothing. Even if he is contacted after taking a 10,000 step back, he is unlikely to invest a lot of time into an idea that is not much possible to realize ... unless it is really worth it."
Shrugging, Luo Wenxuan continued.
"So, for us, the only way now is to write our guesses and publish them in papers. If it can arouse his interest, this problem will be solved. If it can't ... I think it may not It's worth us wasting too much time on it. "
This is the best way.
According to Luo Wenxuan's understanding of Lu Zhou, although he would hardly reply to outside news when he was retreating, he would not completely leave the network.
At least the latest research results, he will follow up.
If there is no response ...
It can only be said that Lu Zhou is not optimistic about their guess.
If this is the case, Luo Wenxuan feels that they can almost give up.
After all, the cruising speed sounds strange, and honestly he has been in doubt until now. After all, in addition to this most unlikely explanation, there are more and more reliable explanations.
"we can only do this……"
After a long silence, Professor Wei Hong nodded hard. Although he didn't like waiting for an uncertain thing, there seems to be no better way now.
"... I will use mathematical language whenever possible to describe this guess a little more reliably."
Luo Wenxuan looked at him and nodded.
"Then please."
Three people are preparing to return to previous discussions.
However, at this moment, Luo Wenxuan's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Wait a minute ... I'll take a call."
As the secretary-general of icrc, he always has to answer a lot of work calls every day ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although he also wants to leave these things aside, but considering that a certain chairman does nothing, he also Can only bite the bullet and resist those jobs that originally belonged to Lu Zhou.
Nor did it appear that the electric display, Luo Wenxuan pressed the connection key, and went to the side.
Wei Hong and Davik also left him alone for a while, stopped the discussion, and waited for their teammates to return in quiet thinking.
However, at this moment, they did not wait for the footsteps of Luo Wenxuan to return, but waited for a strange call from a distance. That voice was probably Professor Luo's, but it was pulled very thin and long--
It's like the curly space is suddenly straightened.
Looking at Wei Hong with a grim expression, Davik said slyly.
"What is he saying?"
"……do not know."
With a grimace, he looked at the direction where Luo Wenxuan left. Just when Wei Hong hesitated to see what happened, he saw Luo Wenxuan with a sullen look on my cell phone, and the whole person was sleepwalking. Like to walk back.
Seeing this, Professor Davik quickly got up and looked at him and asked.
"what happened?"
Wei Hong stood up as well.
"Who's calling?"
"Lu Zhou ..."
Answering the latter question, Luo Wenxuan swallowed and said in a voice as if he hadn't woken up yet, "Let ’s just ... haven't we discussed whether the stable and oscillating z-particles can make the space bend stably?"
"Yes ... isn't it ?!"
Looking at Professor Wei Hong who suddenly looked trembling and suddenly reacted, Luo Wenxuan nodded his head straight.
"Yes."
"He's done."
"Just a few minutes ago."
"... in the mathematical sense."
