After Steven and Parker told Qin Jingyu Professor Murphy's little secret, they treated Qin Jingyu as one of their own.

Although Steven and Parker couldn't help much with the project Professor Murphy gave her, they both said that if there was anything they could do to help, they would definitely help.

After all, they had worked under Professor Murphy for several years, so they still had work to do. The two generously lent Qin Jingyu a notebook, which contained some of their own experimental notes and some important class notes.

For Qin Jingyu, who only has a superficial understanding of the theory of cosmology, this is like a golden house.

However, Parker is right. Confirming the existence of dark matter is definitely a difficult problem because dark matter has not been directly observed so far. Instead, it is a substance inferred by scientists to explain specific phenomena. Since this substance has always existed in theory, scientists call it dark matter.

Despite multiple theoretical and experimental attempts to find direct evidence for dark matter, its existence has not been conclusively confirmed so far.

Once the existence of dark matter is confirmed, it means that humans have discovered the form of dark matter for the first time, which will be a major breakthrough in physics.

Dark matter is called the mystery of the century, and its existence and properties remain one of the core issues in physics and cosmology research.

Over the years, scientists have tried to detect dark matter in various ways, including indirect detection and direct detection, but so far, no conclusive evidence has been obtained to confirm the existence of dark matter.

As early as 20 years ago, the international scientific community generally believed that the next 10 to 20 years would be the golden age of dark matter detection.

Uncovering the mystery of dark matter will be another major leap forward after heliocentrism, the law of universal gravitation, the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.

The study of dark matter has long been one of the core issues in particle physics and cosmology. Searching for dark matter particles, studying the physical nature of dark energy, exploring the mysteries of the origin and evolution of the universe, and combining the research of particle physics and cosmology have become an important trend in the development of astronomy and physics.

Dark matter and dark energy have become components of the universe that almost everyone knows about, but science cannot confirm the existence of dark matter, nor can it prove its non-existence.

So many scientists are unable to confirm the existence of dark matter, even Professor Murphy himself is unable to confirm it, but he handed this project over to Qin Jingyu.

In the eyes of Parker and Steven, Professor Murphy just wanted to play a trick on the young man from China and dissuade him from becoming the professor's student.

So they sympathized with Qin and were willing to take out some useful notes, hoping that these notes would be useful to Qin, or that they could really find something.

Qin Jingyu certainly knew how difficult the topic of dark matter was. She thought that accepting the dark matter topic given by Professor Murphy would trigger some tasks, but this time the system was surprisingly quiet.

[Tongzi, by the time of your future black technology civilization era, has dark matter been confirmed? ]

She asked this question out of curiosity. She rarely asked these questions to the system before.

Ever since the system said last time that it was an advanced AI intelligent system that synthesized data, and thinking of its high-tech drawings, it was no different from whether in the book or in her original world, 886 came from the distant future, and the tasks it issued were slowly pushing her in one direction.

She didn't know what this direction was, whether it was to build a strong technological country, to strengthen China, or what kind of person she wanted to become, but she could vaguely feel that every step forward would bring her closer to the truth.

886: [Sorry host, the system cannot answer your question about the progress of civilization in your current world with your authority.]

Qin Jingyu shrugged. Okay, she guessed that the system would not answer this question directly.

Professor Murphy gave her the laboratory door card so she could enter and exit the laboratory building freely.

When he learned about this incident while having dinner with Martin, he was shocked. "Qin, you are worthy of being here. You actually entered Professor Murphy's laboratory so quickly. You are definitely a first-timer."

Qin Jingyu was flipping through his notes, eating, and answering Martin's question: "It's too early to celebrate. I'll be very happy if you say this again in a month."

"It seems that you have encountered a problem?"

"Professor Murphy gave me a very difficult question."

"Qin, the Riemann hypothesis and the NS equation that you solved are both century-old problems in mathematics. I think you can also find a way to deal with the problem posed by Professor Murphy."

Martin has full confidence in Qin Jingyu.

Qin Jingyu raised his eyebrows, "They are different."

In mathematics, she only needs to deal with numbers, use the patterns and logic between numbers, and then find the corresponding solution through twists and turns.

As for dark matter, it is not something that can be solved by mathematics using only logic and rules. Dark matter is not a type of matter, but a general term for all unknown matter.

In the 20th century, astronomers realized that the gravity generated by adding up the visible matter in a galaxy is not enough to maintain the integrity of the galaxy. There must be "missing mass" in the universe, which humans are currently unable to observe and intervene in. This type of matter is collectively referred to as "dark matter."

Since dark matter cannot be detected by any means, scientists cannot prove the authenticity of dark matter and can only infer the possibility of its existence through various phenomena of visible matter.

For example, the gravity of a spiral galaxy mainly comes from the supermassive black hole in the center. According to the gravitational force of visible matter, the interior of a spiral galaxy should rotate faster than the outside. However, the rotation speeds inside and outside of a spiral galaxy are basically the same, indicating that there are still unknown gravitational forces.

According to the cosmic microwave background radiation, visible matter accounts for less than 5% of the total mass and energy of the universe. The vast majority of the mass and energy has not yet been discovered and is most likely dark matter and dark energy.

Since the 1980s, researchers have been hoping to use experiments to find the particles that make up dark matter.

At present, many countries have established dark matter laboratories. Professor Murphy's laboratory is based on the underground laboratory survey environment several thousand meters underground in the vertical rock strata. It is an underground research laboratory that can be restored to the greatest extent and is used to explore dark matter. This is the laboratory that Qin Jingyu went to today.
