Chapter 1294: Send 1 pair of photons in the past

Lu Zhou found himself on fire.
And it's very thorough.
Although this kind of thing is not once or twice, but this time it was completely beyond his expectations. He thought that the paper was a sensation at most after the paper was thrown out. He did not expect that even the Washington Post headline would be arranged for him.
Not just that.
Columbia TV also invited Professor Suskander of Stanford University to provide a popular science interview for this news.
As one of the founders of string theory, this Professor Saskander can be said to be one of the veterans of theoretical physics. Although the study of z particles is not his specialty, the general theory of relativity and the curvature of space-time The research is quite representative.
Facing the interviewer of Columbia TV, Professor Suskind, who was sitting in his laboratory, thought for a while, and pulled a blank sheet of draft paper from his desk.
"See the paper on my hand?"
The interviewer "saw ... but Professor Suskander, is it anything special?"
"I assume it represents three-dimensional space, point a is the earth, and b is a neighboring star 422 light years away from us. Now I connect them with a straight line ..."
As he talked, Professor Suskind drew a line and two ab points on white paper with a ballpoint pen.
Looking at the confused interviewer, he continued.
"Usually, we go from the solar system to neighboring stars, that is, from a to b. Even if we ignore various complex orbital changes and follow a straight straight line than the Golden Gate Bridge, we actually have a long way to go. Yes, because our universe is actually distorted, like this ... "
Then, the old professor shuffled the blank paper in his hand and shoved it in front of the interviewer.
"See? This is what our universe really looks like. The white paper representing 3D space is like a paper ball, because the gravitational force that pervades the universe is distorted in the higher dimension space."
"You can see that a and b are actually very close. The two pieces of paper may be stuck together, maybe even less than the distance of a fingernail ... but this is standing on a higher dimension than three-dimensional space. "
"Because we are three-dimensional creatures, we can't leave the paper, so the shortest distance we actually traveled can only be the straight line drawn on the paper."
Then, Professor Suskind unfolded the paper ball in his hand, pointed to the wrinkled paper surface, and the straight line printed on the paper, and continued.
"This straight line is the way the Falcon Rocket will go."
"And if it is a curved engine, this path will not appear on the paper at all. He will pass directly in a dimension higher than 4 or 5 and so on.
"like this!"
The paper was crumpled into a ball again, and Suskind pierced the paper ball rough / violently with his pen directly.
Looking up at the stunned interviewer, the white-haired old man smiled and continued.
"You can understand that nature is the best."
"I really don't understand, you understand that we may have found a way to make a shortcut."
"With this method, it may only take half a day or half an hour to go to Mars in the future."
"If I still don't understand, I can't help it."
The show continues.
But in the second half, there is not much nutrition.
I lifted the remote control and turned off the TV. I sat on the sofa in the living room and gave a comment on the program that evaluated my research results.
"It's a very vivid interpretation, and the idea is quite novel ... nothing wrong."
The only problem is probably a bit too optimistic.
Even if the z particle has this magical property that can act as a bridge, it is too difficult to use it to achieve curved navigation ... at least not like something that can be done in fifty years.
Of course, as a popular science program, the professor Saskander is still pretty good.
Especially for people who lack space imagination, it is a very simple method to imagine the universe as a paper ball kneaded together, and everyone is a black dot on paper.
However, Director Li, who was sitting opposite Lu Zhou, seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.
I saw the old man's hands clasping the armrest of the leather sofa, his excited beard almost shook off, and his old face flushed as if he might have a heart attack at any time.
"Is it true? It will only take half an hour to get to Mars from Earth in the future?"
Hearing this unreasonable speech, Lu Zhouhan said.
"... Half an hour is too exaggerated, and this is just a theory. Do you understand the theory? Even the simple and understandable things like the atomic bomb, more than 20 papers from the mass energy equation to Otto Hahn's uranium fission paper Years. "
Not to mention the z particle, which is more difficult to exist than ordinary subatomic particles. A lot of applications of subatomic particles such as mesons, quarks, gluons, and photons have not been fully developed. Consider it now How to use z particles to solve practical problems is too early.
Scientific progress requires time to settle. Only when the time is ripe can it become a technology in the real sense.
Lu Zhou doesn't know how long it will take until this day arrives ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is only estimated based on experience, at least we have to wait until the next century to say it?
When thinking this way, Lu Zhou's eyes kept staring at Director Li's fingers clasping the arm of the sofa.
He wasn't very worried that the old man had a heart attack, and this guy's mental capacity was much stronger than he thought. The only thing that made Lu Zhou a little bit worried was that he broke his sofa.
He kind of likes this sofa.
Many world-famous or soon-to-be-known physicists and mathematicians have sat here and had coffee with him.
Not to mention any historical relics, at least a bit of commemorative significance.
Hearing that Lu Zhou denied the claim that he could reach Mars within half an hour, a look of disappointment appeared on the expression on the face of Director Li, and the elevated blood pressure gradually dropped back, muttering with regret.
"In other words ... can't you just take a shortcut to Mars?"
Taking a sip of coffee without expression, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, and then sighed softly.
"... It's not impossible to arrive."
For a moment, the blood pressure of Director Li, which had just dropped, rose again at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.
This ups and downs did not make him trouble.
I saw the old man sitting upright, staring at the landing boat with almost fanatical eyes, and said sincerely.
"How to do?"
"Let's start with verifying the theory," put down the coffee cup in his hand, Lu Zhou looked at him seriously, and continued, "for example, first send a z-particle clock to Mars orbit."
Director Li then asked, "What then?"
"then?"
Brow raised her eyebrows slightly, Lu Zhou smiled and leaned back on the sofa.
"Then we will send another pair of photons over."
