Voyage of the Stars

Gander, who had just carefully studied the star map for half a day, discovered that the star map provided by the rhombus crystal did not contain information about the small universe. On the contrary, the information on each star in the star map was complete.

So what he is worried about now is not whether he can find the position shown on the star map, but whether the so-called small universe will still be there after he finds the position shown on the star map.

His questions were answered by scientists working in the field of basic science.

"This is a problem, but not a big one, because as long as the rhombus crystals are not deliberately trying to embarrass us, then as long as we find the location shown on the star map, we should be able to find the so-called small universe based on the key. Of course, this statement is entirely based on our understanding of the rhombus Judgments based on trust in crystals are worth pondering from a physical perspective.”

After a pause, the scientist who looked like he was only in his thirties continued: "With our current technological strength, it is definitely impossible to understand the various physical parameters of the small universe, but we can use our Basic physical forces make some inferences.

First of all, from my personal point of view, I think that the small universe left by the pioneers is at the location shown on the star map. The reason is very simple. When the rhombus crystal said the three words "small universe", it must have already known the meaning of the universe in our language. definition, so the so-called small universe is just as we think, it is a mosaic or nested in the big universe in some way that we don’t know. Of course, it may be a surface area like a certain planet, but I think it is more Most likely it is a hidden small space structure.

And the reason why I think the small universe is still in the star map is because of the physical properties of gravity. Well, it is an unproven property in our theory."

Speaking of which, some scholars who understand cutting-edge physics already know what this scientist is talking about.

The infinitely extending nature of gravity.

In the basic scientific theories of mankind, gravity is considered to be the only force with infinite extension among the four fundamental forces.

The force range of the weak interaction force is 10 to the 17th power meter, the force range of the strong interaction force is 10 to the 15th power meter, the force range of the electromagnetic force is infinite, and the force range of gravity is also infinite.

Yes, the force field of electromagnetic force is infinitely far like gravity, but current human theory believes that there is still a difference between the two, that is, electromagnetic force does not have infinite extension properties, while gravity does.

By the way, both are long-range forces with infinite range. However, the reason why the interaction between stars in the starry sky is dominated by gravity is because the total number of static charges in a large range of matter is almost zero, so the performance of static electricity is not Not significant. Even if there are objects with ultra-strong magnetic fields such as magnetars in the starry sky, due to the closing characteristics of the magnetic field, the scope of action is greatly limited, so it is only significant at the microscopic scale.

This is also the reason why the electromagnetic force is 10 times stronger than gravity, and both are long-range forces, but the starry sky is dominated by gravity.

As for the infinite extension property

Wandering interstellar humans believe that electromagnetic force can be blocked by space dimensions, but gravity cannot. Not only does gravity have an infinite range in the three-dimensional universe, it also has the property of extending infinitely to any dimension.

This is not a figment of imagination, but a conclusion based on basic physical facts.

Regarding gravity, Einstein once said that matter tells space-time how to bend, and space-time tells matter how to move.

Gravity and space-time are closely related.

In many concepts, the so-called dimensions, such as five, six, seven, eighty and ninety dimensions, past dimensions, future dimensions, etc., refer to the space-time dimension. This is how the parallel universe theory comes about, by mixing the time dimension into it.

But from a geometric point of view, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, four-dimensional... are simply spatial geometric dimensions, and gravity runs through the entire spatial dimension.

Therefore, this physicist believes that the pioneer's small universe is most likely a small space hidden in the three-dimensional large universe. It is likely to rely on the infinite extension of gravity to bind itself to the stars in a certain star field. Set together.

Only in this way can we explain that the positions of stars marked in the star map can be explained, and that three billion years have passed, and the pioneer's small universe has not moved away from the Milky Way with the movement of the Milky Way.

Not to mention the top scientists and scholars present, even Yue Yuan had thought of these.

Not only that, Yue Yuan also saw the benefits of human exploration of star maps to find pioneer microcosms. First, it can promote human stellar evolution models and improve human cosmic evolution theory. Second, it can enrich human star databases and make human star maps more Accurate, the third is to verify the infinite extension property of gravity.

If the Pioneer's small universe follows the stars in the star map as predicted, then it means that this inference is correct.

This is of great significance for mankind to embark on the road to the theory of everything in the future.

Although mankind has not yet mastered a grand unified theory, scientific development cannot only look at the next step, but also looks forward.

So how to find it?

The astronomers present directly suggested building a survey telescope array.

Human beings are a wandering civilization, and it is somewhat inappropriate to say that they are surveying the sky, but these scientists feel that such a name is of commemorative significance.

Since setting foot on the starry sky, humans have basically used battleship detectors to observe the starry sky, and the focus of observation is mainly on the next destination of the human fleet. For humans who have been running for survival, this is impossible.

But now it needs to change. Astronomers believe that human beings are no longer the same as when they first set foot on the stars, and they already have enough ability to develop horizontally.

Therefore, humans should take advantage of this opportunity to build a survey telescope array to listen to more sounds from the universe.

Yes, according to several astronomers present, the so-called survey telescope array is not just an optical telescope. It will be a large comprehensive telescope array. It should also have a more accurate gravitational wave detection array than a gravitational wave detection array composed of battleships. detection array.

In other words, the survey telescope array will not only be used to search for the stars shown in the star map, but will also serve as ears for humans to listen to the sounds of the universe and eyes for warning of dangers from the universe.

Regarding such a proposal, everyone had a rare unanimous opinion and felt that it should be done.

Seeing that it was rare for everyone to have the same opinion, Yue Yuan had a feeling in his heart that he should either not build something or build something big. Well, if this continues, we will build a super-large collider. It’s also a big project, and it’s two big projects, so let’s build them together.

Seeing everyone discussing excitedly, Yue Yuan nodded secretly.

Then, everyone present basically joined in the discussion about the survey telescope, except Liu Miyan, who always had a loud voice, remained silent. He is now more concerned about the failure of quantum entanglement communication than discussing construction.
