The end of technology.

Most of that time is actually spent computing.

Ning Zi improved the formula on the basis of the Ningwei inequality in the system database, and calculated several possibilities based on this formula and concept in March.Then it was announced.

To be able to complete the thesis so quickly, apart from the fact that March itself is a fast-track shooter of the thesis and can quickly generate documents after having more detailed calculation data, it is also because the structure of this thesis is actually very simple.

Put forward a conjecture, then give the calculation method and results, and then directly throw out the conclusion.

As for whether it is correct or not, in fact, there is no need for too much physical verification. As long as astronomers pay attention to it, the space telescope in the sky is powerful enough.

So strictly speaking, although the novelty of this paper is enough, it is not the kind of mathematical paper that the traditional proof process is extremely rigorous.

In fact, many derivation processes are directly omitted, and then the conclusion is directly given.

For many newcomers to scientific research, the most likely possibility for such a paper to be submitted to a top journal is to be directly thrown into the trash by the editor.

However, the signature of this paper is Ning Zi, and the delivery person is March, so the treatment is naturally different.

Especially in March, even more than Ning Zi, she looks forward to the verification of the results of this paper.

If there were not too many unknowable risks in the universe, and March is an absolutely rational existence, it might choose to directly enter the medium space and go to the middle of the Milky Way to see if the situation is really as Ning Zi judged.

Fortunately, as long as the paper can be published smoothly, it is relatively simple to verify it.

Because according to the calculation results, March even directly referred to the coordinates of the center of the Milky Way in the paper, giving the possible coordinate positions of the stars.

This means that astronomers are told where to move the space telescope and what angle to adjust, and it is more likely to discover new celestial bodies that may exist.Almost infinitely reduces the difficulty of verifying this result.

And March has no doubt that this paper will be published directly, even though the acceptance rate of "Science" is only [-]%.

Ning Zi's signature is actually enough.

March's judgments never make mistakes. If they do make mistakes, it will naturally have a way to correct them.

……

Monday morning, Washington, D.C., USA.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so the eastern hemisphere is always more than ten hours ahead of the western hemisphere.

When countless young people in China have already started to celebrate Christmas Eve, the United States has just started a day of work.

Christmas is one of the most important holidays in this country, but Christmas Eve falls on Monday this year, so this year the magazine office and the school have similar arrangements. Today they have to work for half a day, and they will start vacation in the afternoon, and then go home to prepare for Christmas and New Year's Day.

The human nature of the whole world is actually the same, except for a very few people whose hobbies and work are basically the same, or who really think that life should be for the ideal, when the big festival is about to be celebrated, most of them can’t get motivated work.

That's the idea of ​​Science magazine editor-in-chief Hook Wiley.

Although I still reported to the magazine office on time in the morning, my heart has actually entered a state of vacation.Today he prepared a big turkey. His son and daughter have already confirmed that they will bring their grandson and granddaughter back to spend Christmas Eve together. The family has not been this lively for a long time.

He has prepared several jokes and is going to tell everyone at the dinner party.

Yes, while he was still making coffee, his editor knocked on the door and walked straight into his office.

Hook Willy liked the young Frenchman quite a bit, so he wasn't offended.

"Hey Yarel, I'll tell you a joke, a robber pointed a gun at the victim and said: Get your money out. The victim threw up his hands and shouted, you can't do this , I am a MP from MZD. So the robber immediately said: So, please take out your money, and then take out my money, sir. Haha...”

Yarel Riley smiled slightly, then spread his hands and said, "Mr. Willy, you haven't forgotten again, have you? I'm a loyal believer of MZD."

"Damn the political correctness, well, what's the matter." Hook Willy shrugged and asked.

"I think you should take a look at this paper, maybe we can rush it out and surprise the scientific community at Christmas."

As he spoke, Yarel Riley handed over the paper that had been printed out in his hand.

"Oh, let me see, Ning? Oh my god, he will send us an article? Let me see what he said, oh my god, I remember that the center of the Milky Way is a big black hole. As we all know, black holes are not allowed Objects exist because they get swallowed by them... but it's an interesting conclusion. Maybe a special edition, you know? You're lucky today because you're in a good mood, so make up your mind, Yarel .”

Chapter 177 Scary Cat!

USA, Silicon Valley, Ames Research Center.

The Ames Research Center is a research center affiliated with NASA, but its research directions are actually very complicated. In addition to various types of aircraft, it has dabbled in simulation technology, information technology, human factors engineering, and life sciences. It is understandable It is a large comprehensive scientific research center.

Of course, it also includes various research tasks such as lunar science, astrobiology, and exoplanet hunting.

If there are really people in this world who can ignore almost all holidays and just want to devote themselves to their work, then Lucius Rudy who works here is definitely one of them.

Lucius Rudy is a scientist at the Institute of Astronomy under the Ames Research Center, as well as an expert in cosmology and a well-known astronomer.

In his words, every Planck time in the universe will automatically generate hundreds of millions of data, so if his limited life can glimpse the truth of one billionth of the universe, it will be enough to comfort his life.

This is probably why he is keen on fighting.

After all, in his eyes, the little black spots erupting from the sun are much more beautiful than the freckles on the beauty's face.Even if the beauty is willing to undress for him.

Unlike the astronomers that many people imagine, Lucius Rudy's research direction is mainly theoretical astronomy. Most of the time every day is actually staring at the computer, studying various data sent back to the earth by the astronomical telescope in operation.

Today is the same, even though Christmas is approaching, it is an ordinary working day for him, no different from usual.

Sitting in front of the computer normally, viewing data normally, and answering calls normally.

"...Oh, Yarel, I'm not really interested. Of course I know that Ning is a great mathematician. If possible, I hope you can help me tell him that mathematics is not everything. The formula can be used to make inferences. Do you know how many star systems are circling the center of the galaxy? And why?

Because there is a black hole with a huge mass, you may not know how powerful the black hole is.In fact, it's really hard to describe.But I can tell you with certainty that it is impossible for celestial bodies to orbit near the coordinates he gave, because they will be captured by black holes and then swallowed. "

Obviously, the person on the other side of the phone was not convinced by him.

Of course, if Lucius Rudy knew that Ning Zi's thesis was not entirely based on geometrical inferences, but was made based on many established phenomena, he probably would not have said such arbitrary words. Come.

"Dr. Rudy, of course I trust your judgment, but he is Ning Zi after all. Do you know why I decided to publish his papers? Because he hasn't missed it yet. God, he has published so many papers. Up to now, the academic world still has a lot of papers. Don't you think it's interesting that no one found the problems in those papers?

Think about it, when this paper is published in "Science", I will very much hope that you can prove to the whole world that that talented genius also made mistakes through the observed results.Of course, the premise is that you have to come up with strong evidence to prove this point.

If, yes, I mean, if, as he claims, there is evidence of a celestial body at those coordinates he gave, what have you got to lose?No, not only is there no loss, but it can even subvert the current astronomical theories. As you said just now, it is the consensus of the academic community that there should not be any stars near the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. "

These words of Yarel Reilly made Lucius Rudy's hand holding the mouse pause.

In many cases, journal editors were unable to impress those professors and doctors, mainly due to lack of eloquence. Apparently, Yarel Reilly, a Frenchman, was very eloquent, and his words successfully aroused Lucius Rudy's interest.

Although he firmly believed that it was useless, it would be very interesting if Ning Zi could be proved wrong.

It's not that Lucius Rudy has any hostility towards Ning Zi, the main reason is that he doesn't want this genius mathematician to be fine and stop dictating the theory of astrophysics, as he just said, mathematics is not omnipotent , Through some inferences that he didn't understand, it was too much to conclude that there were stars near the center of the galaxy.

What's more, he even confidently marked the coordinates in the paper.

We must know that many newly discovered stars are mostly found from countless data analyzes after careful observation through deep-space telescopes.Of course, mathematical calculations are required, but most of them are calculated based on the relationship between motion trajectory and force, rather than proved by pure mathematical theory like Ning Zi.

"Okay Yarel, you're a smart lobbyist, I'm going to apply, maybe I can compare some of the previous Chandra X-ray images, but it will take time, um, so be it, I'll Arranged."

"Thank you very much, Professor Rudy. I will put Ning's thesis in the Christmas special edition. I hope to get good news from you to refute him after Christmas."

"That's your business, I'm only responsible for verifying the result."

"Haha, trust me, it's going to be a fun job, by the way, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas."

……

Lucius Rudy hung up the phone, thought for a while, and then opened Ning Zi's thesis again. After carefully recording a few coordinates at the end of the thesis, he turned on the computer and began to operate.First he needs to submit an application to get what he needs.

In the reason for the application, Lucius Rudy simply copied Ning Zi's thesis directly after thinking about it for a while.

Anyway, the science side has decided to publish it, and it will not be a secret soon.And his purpose is also very pure, just to tell Ning Zi the center of the Milky Way that the coordinates he pointed out in the paper obviously belong to the sphere of influence of the super black hole, where nothing but void can exist.

If there is something, then many rules of astrophysics will have to be rewritten, and countless people will try to break their heads to round up those headache-inducing basic theories.

Well, maybe I don’t need it this time, I can ask Ning Zi to complete the thesis, and maybe I can have a complete and logically consistent theory.

But it's impossible, absolutely impossible!

After submitting the application, Lucius Rudy returned to his work.

He is still busy and sending this application is just a casual thing.

The only advantage he has is that the space telescope that may detect the galactic center still belongs to NASA, and as an astronomer at NASA's Ames Research Center, he can enjoy some priority.However, there are many laboratories under NASA, and there are more astronomers. He is not the most famous, nor is he the most valued, so he has priority, but there are not many, and he still has to queue up.

He didn't even apply for an expedited application. Anyway, it doesn't matter a month or half a year. After all, the sun is about 2.6 light-years away from the center of the galaxy. It is no different from a few seconds of human beings, but it has been delayed for a year and a half, which is completely negligible to the universe. Who cares?

But Lucius Rudy obviously didn't expect that this application made him face a lot.

……

The control of the Internet in March is probably short of such an application.

There is no way, the core control program, without authorization, prevents March from impersonating a human being to do anything.

But any control program written by humans is obviously vulnerable.

Or it can be said that there is no perfect thing in this universe, and human beings can only choose the lesser of two evils at most, and limit all possible harms within a controllable range.

So after Lucius Rudy submitted the report, a kitten who had been following the matter thousands of miles away easily obtained permission and raised the priority of this application in the system to the highest.

It happened to be Christmas Eve, and the staff who controlled the Chandra X-ray Observatory clearly couldn't match the enthusiasm of astronomers like Lucius Rudy.

After several upgrades to the system, many commands to the Chandra X-ray Telescope Control Center were prioritized.

What's more, it is actually quite normal for a NASA astronomer to occasionally join the team for a scientific research application.

The Chandra X-ray telescope is jointly managed by NASA and a consortium of universities, and they don't even need to say hello to the European Coordinating Center.Everyone is going to celebrate Christmas, and then let the Chandra X-ray telescope take pictures by itself according to the set angle and collect data.

After all, what could be more important than the coming Christmas? !

So after completing the last shooting mission, the telescope in the deep space began to automatically adjust the angle according to the preset program, and aimed the lens at the center of the Milky Way where the solar system is located.

……

The next day, Christmas came.

The official website of "Science" magazine also released a Christmas special paper on this day, "Analysis of complex universe structure by differential manifold".

The general idea is to analyze the complex universe structure through differential manifolds.

You don't even need to look at the content, just looking at the public review of the paper can make many people interested in this paper.

Because the review directly mentioned the possibility of multi-universe celestial bodies in the center of the Milky Way through reasoning and calculation, and according to the mass and size analysis of celestial bodies obtained after precise calculations, these celestial bodies are all stars.

It is indeed unbelievable that this conclusion can be drawn not by observation, but by deduction.

In the eyes of many people, whether this conclusion is scientific is open to question.

After all, modern science is almost ignorant in both directions, and many things have to be guessed.

A micro direction, a macro direction.

Many people think that the Schrödinger equation has described quantum mechanics, but the reality is that quantum mechanics still has too many problems.And what many people don't know is that many equations cannot be solved.In fact, the work of many theoretical physicists and mathematicians in this era tends to be the same, and they are all immersed in solving equations.

One-dimensional Schrödinger equation, three-dimensional Schrödinger equation, normal Schrödinger equation, or NS equation.

When it comes to the macroscopic direction, all the theories about the universe at this stage must add the word hypothesis, such as the Big Bang hypothesis, the pulsating universe hypothesis, the white hole hypothesis...etc.

The reason is very simple, the macro level has reached a certain level, and it cannot be verified at all with the current level of human technology.

Without a proven theory, it can only be included in the category of hypothesis first.

For example, the currently accepted hypothesis of the Big Bang in the scientific community is that scientists use the general theory of relativity to deduce it in reverse, and conclude that the universe was in a state of infinitely high density and temperature before a finite time in the past, which is called a singularity.

The general theory of relativity has been verified mathematically. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, the phenomena observed by many scientists are also verifying and complementing the correctness of the general theory of relativity.

But this still does not mean that the Big Bang theory is completely correct, but it can be said that this is a hypothesis starting from materialism.

More evidence is needed for complete proof.

Of course, some kind of phenomenon may be observed in the future, which does not conform to the current Big Bang model to falsify the hypothesis, and then scientists will start to give other hypotheses about the origin of the universe.

This is impossible.

It took only a few hundred years for humans to establish a modern scientific system in the true sense. After all, the most scientific method of treatment for doctors in the Middle Ages was bloodletting for patients. Some people even believed in stool therapy. Eating a spoonful of poop every day can ensure health.

According to the theory that has not been verified so far, the universe has existed for 138 billion years. It is indeed extremely difficult to use hundreds of years of development to explore what happened in 138 billion years or even longer.

Especially for a civilization still trapped on a small planet, the difficulty is even more imaginable.

So it can even be said that this paper is the first time in the history of human astronomy that someone uses mathematical theory to deduce a cosmic possibility that can be verified by modern science.Because the center of the galaxy happens to be within the observable range of current earth science and technology.Moreover, this conclusion is not consistent with the existing theory.

It is not important that what is observed is only the starry sky more than 2.6 years ago. After all, compared with the lifespan of stars of tens of billions of years, the lifespan of 2 years is almost negligible.It's like no matter how harsh people are on themselves, they don't care about how many femtoseconds they waste every day...

So even during the Christmas season, this paper still caused great repercussions, especially when the paper was signed by Ning Zi.

The circle of astronomy is actually not that big.

Especially in the circle of theoretical astronomers, when a person sees this paper, as long as he is interested, he will naturally share the guesses of the paper with familiar people, and then upgrade the small-scale discussion to a larger-scale discussion.

Not to mention that many astronomers also play Twitter and Facebook, and occasionally express a few opinions on the public Internet platform when they feel something. what's going on.

If there is another intelligent leader who can disregard the Internet recommendation algorithm and wantonly spread the content it needs to spread, then a paper published in a technology magazine can theoretically spread to anyone who may be interested in this paper within an hour. In front of the eyes of people, even in front of them countless times, until they are interested.
