Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 368 Micro and Macro

Until now, it is only 8.6 light-years away from the sun-although this distance is very far away, even if it travels at the speed of light, it will take a full 8.6 years to reach it, but under such a huge scale in the universe, this distance is completely possible. It is far away.No, it should be described with front and rear feet.

It was too close.

When a star with a high probability of being a black hole was actually discovered at this distance, Professor Wen Chengcheng realized that it seemed that this Mr. Lu with a mysterious origin...had such a premonition early in the morning.

But how is this possible?

No one can predict in advance what will be there.

Faced with this question, Lu Ming couldn't answer.He had no choice but to perfunctorily say: "Good luck, hehe, I am also more interested in celestial bodies like black holes, so I sponsored you to search for them."

Professor Wen Chengcheng was not suspicious.

"So that's the case. Well, Mr. Lu, I will immediately organize people to confirm the next step. It will not take much time. If there are further discoveries, I will notify you immediately."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Professor Wen Chengcheng was in high spirits.

Today is different.In the past, he was just an ordinary scientific research worker, but now he is the person in charge of a whole large project.

Not only that, if it is finally confirmed that it is really a black hole, then I can even make another leap and complete the transformation from an ordinary scientific researcher to a famous scientist.

One's own name even had the opportunity to be printed in textbooks, and it would be eulogized until thousands of years later.As for the rest of the honors, there is no need to say more, all kinds of awards must be soft.

Now several well-known and powerful scientists have joined his team.For the rest, the team leaders of a full three telescopes also joined here.

After formulating the follow-up observation and data analysis plan, the newly formed team immediately put into intense work.

The vast space, the vast sky.There is no distinction between up, down, left, right, front, back, no matter which direction you look here, you can only see the stars in the sky.

No matter which direction you move, no matter how fast you fly, the surrounding scenery remains unchanged.Some just seem to be eternal darkness and loneliness.

Under such circumstances, a completely "invisible" celestial body passed by quietly.

It emits hardly any radiation to the outside world.There is only a little thing called "Hawking radiation", which is completely blocked by the cosmic microwave background radiation because it is too weak, so it cannot be detected at all.

It cannot be seen with the naked eye and cannot be detected by any detection tools.

Its passage directly distorted the surrounding space.If there is a person looking at it, this person can see that when it passes by, the entire starry sky is distorted.It's like looking at the distant scenery through the hot air of the fire above the earth.

This is a black hole in a "dormant" state.

In a dormant state, it does not mean that this black hole cannot swallow matter close to it.Rather, it is in a dormant state precisely because there is no matter close to it at this moment, and no matter can be devoured by it.

Once something approaches it, bound by its strong gravity, and finally swallowed by it, this dormant black hole will be activated immediately, releasing the powerful power it contains.

Here is a vast void of space.There are no macroscopic objects within a range of up to two light-years in the vicinity.But it's not empty here.

It is possible that dust from many different exploding stars came together for various reasons.They have approximately the same speed and direction, gathered together, and moved forward in this vast space like a "cloud".

This dormant black hole plunged headlong into this interstellar molecular cloud.The powerful gravitational pull kicked in, and the interstellar dust cloud began to swirl and be swallowed by it.

The black hole's gravity accelerates the interstellar dust that comes too close to it to extremely high speeds.They revolve around the black hole crazily, so an accretion disk is formed.

Where matter is abundant, the accretion disk swirling around the black hole can be extremely bright, even emitting a light brighter than a massive star.At a more extreme point, it can even emit light brighter than an entire Milky Way, such as quasars.

— At the center of the quasar is a supermassive black hole.

But matter is thin here.

Although interstellar dust clouds are called "clouds", they are not the same as the hazy clouds above the earth.Its matter density is still thin, even less than the matter in the vacuum of the highest vacuum that can be produced in the laboratory on the earth at this moment.

In this way, although the gravitational force of this black hole is strong enough, the radiation power of the accretion disk formed around it is still low.

Black holes themselves are not observable.What can be observed is the accretion disk of the black hole.

In the accretion disk of a black hole, matter is accelerated to such high speeds that friction between them can release astonishing amounts of energy.The efficiency of converting mass into energy can even be as high as 50%.

This is almost one of the most efficient energy conversion methods in the universe.

In contrast, in the process of nuclear fusion, the proportion of matter converted into energy is only about 0.7%.Nuclear fission is even lower, only about 0.15%.

This is a gap of up to dozens of times.

At this moment, in the accretion disk around the black hole, the mass of the interstellar dust is converted into energy, and begins to radiate to the surrounding space at the speed of light.

After traveling a long distance and up to 8.6 years, these radiations came to the solar system and came to the earth.

After a long distance, these radiations are very weak.However, the detection equipment manufactured by human civilization with the highest technology still accurately captures these radiation signals and turns them into numbers and data.

At this moment, the Black Hole Hunter Project Team, Professor Wen Chengcheng is working with team members to analyze these data.

The previous analysis is now complete.At this stage, there is the last and most important piece of data, X-ray analysis.

—of course, the X-rays emitted by the accretion disk around the black hole, not the black hole itself.

If the analysis results meet expectations, then the probability that the star is a black hole will rise to more than 99%.On the contrary, if it does not meet expectations, the possibility that the star is a black hole is basically ruled out.

At this moment, the relevant data has been imported into the supercomputer, and the final stage of calculation and analysis is underway.

When the final result came back, Wen Chengcheng only felt his heart beating uncontrollably.He didn't even dare to look at the number.But under the expectant eyes of all his subordinates, he still opened the result.

He froze there for an instant.After a while, an uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his face.

"The results met... expectations!"

In the office, everyone stood up together and applauded enthusiastically.

An hour after the final result appeared, Lu Ming received the notification and got the relevant data.After finally almost confirming that there is indeed a black hole there, he sighed softly.

It is impossible to fully confirm a celestial body such as a black hole at this stage, and it is impossible to say that there is a black hole there 99%.It can reach a probability of more than [-]%. Generally speaking, it can already be considered that there is indeed a black hole.

It was dark now.Outside the window of the hotel where Lu Ming was staying was a city surrounded by lights and neon lights.There are not many stars in the sky, only the brightest ones are shining there.

Lu Ming recalled the relevant data, and then looked towards a direction in the sky.

It was so dark there, you couldn't see anything, there was nothing.But Lu Ming seemed to see the distant space several light years away, and saw the black hole in the interstellar dust cloud that was devouring matter madly.

It is only 8.6 light-years away from Earth.

Could it be...it was really its arrival that led to a series of cases that happened on the earth?It led to the birth of several masters, the inexplicable suicide of thousands of people, and the misery of thousands of families...

Long after Lu Ming summed up the three elements, that is, causal inversion, time confusion, and information loss, Lu Ming vaguely thought of this possibility.

This has a certain degree of coincidence with the conjectures about the physical characteristics that occur around the black hole or inside the black hole under the current physical theory.Or to put it another way, that is, only a celestial body like a black hole that has almost broken through the current physical limit has the theoretical possibility of causing this weird phenomenon.

After seeing the paper published by Researcher Hu Xiaozheng and talking with him, Lu Ming knew some theoretical possibilities.From this, it was finally decided to search for black holes located around the solar system.

Even he himself was a little bit unexpected, and this search actually found it.It turns out... there really is an activated black hole near the solar system.

Is this a coincidence?
Of course it could be a coincidence.

But... Lu Ming first started the actual search based on a "prophecy" and the expectation that "there is a black hole around the solar system". Link those two things together.

The premise of making this "prophecy" is the series of events in the fatal case and his own speculation.

This in itself means a certain tendency, which means that there is indeed a certain relationship between these two things with a high probability.

However, if this connection does exist, that is, a series of events that happened on the earth were all caused by the influence of this black hole that is too close to the solar system, then this is how the whole thing happened.

Around the black hole, there will be some strange phenomena beyond the current theoretical level, such as "borrowing mass from the future, resulting in an abnormal increase in mass at this moment", and "destined to a fate that must happen in the future, and there will be a certain day in the future." Abnormal reduction in mass".

Looking at this process from another angle, the "result" of mass increase appears in the present.The "cause" of mass reduction appears in the future.

Cause and effect are reversed.The timeline is confused.

How similar is this to a fatal case where the victim commits suicide inexplicably first, and then the reason for the suicide appears in the future?

From the microcosm to the macrocosm, from the inexplicable appearance or disappearance of a particle, to some human behaviors in the macrocosm, there seems to be a big gap, but the distance from the microcosm to the macrocosm may not be as big as imagined.

Although the specific process of developing from the micro to the macro is not very clear, it is enough to assume that this connection does exist.

At this moment, the key evidence discovered by Wenchengcheng's team, that there is indeed a black hole only 8.6 light years away from the earth, fills in the last big gap in Lu Ming's logic.

Lu Ming fixedly looked at the direction of the black hole, his mind full of thoughts.

After a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Dingshan.

At this moment, in the command hall of the Blue Lake City Base, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei both had serious expressions.

For hundreds of families, there are hundreds of special service teams busy on the front line.

The last month or so, the situation has not been good.The few families that had already shown signs of being affected by bad luck, although they had nip some dangers in the bud through their own efforts, there were still three full families that suffered irreversible bad luck.

Bankruptcy, family ruin, illness, car accident, accident...

This state of "I have tried my best, but the result has not improved at all" is the most tormenting people's mind.

Not only is it torturing the family members of the victims, but it is also torturing Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"Captain, is it really meaningful for us to do this?..."

He Wei looked sad.

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, and said firmly: "As long as we do it, it will be meaningful."

jingle bells...

The phone rang.After answering the phone, Zhang Dingshan heard Lu Ming's voice.

"Captain, I have made some new discoveries here. I think I have probably found a way to prevent the families of those victims from suffering bad luck."

Zhang Dingshan's left fist was clenched suddenly, veins burst out on the back of his hand, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

But his voice remained calm.

"Okay. You come back right away. Let's do it right away. It's getting worse and worse."

"Yes, I will go back immediately."

Lu Ming got on the plane again and rushed back to Blue Lake City overnight.After flying for several hours, the plane came over the city of Blue Lake.

Looking at the lights of the city in Blue Lake City, and feeling the prosperity and tranquility of the city, Lu Ming felt a different feeling in his heart.

He couldn't be sure that his method would work.But he believes that this method has a high probability of being effective.

It's just that those who have already encountered bad luck and those who have committed suicide because of the "curse" have nothing to do.

"Do your best, and do what you can to the extent you can."

　Take a day off tomorrow...
