Voyage of the Stars

In the following time, the scientific team did what they said, and conducted experiments on astronomical particle colliders according to the methods they described, and then used their own methods to analyze the experimental results.

They tried to figure out whether warp speed travel requires the distortion of space-time as people know it, and where does the power of distorting space-time come from, is it caused by mass? Or energy? Where is its root, and how can humans master it. And how are tachyons really operated, how to directly identify tachyons, and how can tachyons carry the information that humans want to convey

This scientific team did not say that they would go all the way and write the equations of the grand unified theory for humans. Their approach was to go directly to the technologies that only level 4 civilizations have, that is, some methods that allow humans to realize those technologies that are said to be mastered only by level 4 civilizations, and then look back at the principles behind these methods, and then summarize these principles to get the grand unified theory.

Their thinking is different from traditional research, and it is more like studying in reverse.

After repeated experiments, they found a very realistic problem on their research path, black holes.

From the perspective of string theory, the interaction between the combination of D0-branes does have the effect of distorting space-time, but black hole solutions will inevitably appear. Even though the team has tried their best to avoid the generation of black hole solutions, they are very clear that the generation of the horizon means a black hole.

And the facts clearly tell everyone that warp travel cannot be generated by the warp engine and then drag the spacecraft forward. Although humans have not reached the fourth level of civilization, they have picked up a warp engine, so humans are very clear about this.

However, according to string theory, there is indeed a black hole solution, so many times, scientists in this team suspect that string theory is not completely correct, or that it is not applicable in certain fields.

Black holes mean strong gravity, and humans have clearly known that even a civilization that has completed the grand unified theory cannot manipulate gravity, because the grand unified theory is only the complete unification of the three fundamental forces of strong interaction, weak interaction, and electromagnetic force, and does not include gravity.

However, no matter from which direction humans spy on warp travel, it is inseparable from gravity, which is very puzzling to various scientific teams.

It is very contradictory, but we have to face this problem.

To this end, after obtaining data from many collision experiments, this scientific team proposed a revised theory of string theory. They believe that there is another interaction between D0-branes, which is controlled by a massless particle that is neither a photon nor a graviton. They call it a dilaton.

The dilaton is not an actual particle, but a physical concept particle. It has no spin. It was introduced by the team into the study of warp speed navigation theory in order to prevent the warp drive from producing a black hole solution. Of course, it is not introduced out of nothing. They still know that entities should not be added if they are not necessary. In fact, the dilaton is not added by them, but a concept that string theory itself has. They just explained it with a slight modification. They believe that all kinds of interactions between D0-branes, including attraction and static force, are the effects of the dilaton.

On this basis, they are studying whether the D0-brane will still vibrate like an atom when it is behind the horizon. This is very important because it is related to the generation of black D0-branes. In the eyes of this scientific team, the black D0-brane is a state before the black hole horizon, perhaps the warp bubble state.

They believe that as long as the process inside is studied clearly, humans will most likely know how to achieve warp speed after the combination of electromagnetic force, strong interaction force and weak interaction force.

After many years of experimental research, human scientists have been able to determine that a large cluster of D0-branes will have extra energy, and this energy corresponds to extra mass.

The next problem they have to face is: how to use vibrating D-branes to give an accurate description of black D-branes, and then apply it to the relevant research on warp bubbles, so as to provide humans with an accurate mathematical solution to warp bubbles.

They need to find this solution and then use physical methods to realize it in the real world to provide principle support for human exploration of warp navigation.

If this step can be achieved, then humans can create a small warp bubble under laboratory conditions and start the dream of warp experiments.

Yes, it is true that humans have completed astronomical particle colliders for more than a century, but the research on warp speed is still in the stage of principle exploration. This stage cannot be completed by saying "the principle is space distortion", but requires precise and accurate mathematical calculation process.

The biggest difference between the power of thinking and science is that the former may cause the owner of the power to lose superpowers due to various idealistic problems, while the latter will not. Once the latter is mastered, it will never be lost.

Similarly, what humans want is mass-produced creations, not unreproducible creations that are obtained by chance by accident. Isn't the purpose of scientists working hard on research to make the entire human civilization progress?

As far as Yue Yuan knows, in the research of this scientific team, their goal is not only mathematical solution, but also geometric solution. There is a difference between the two. If the former can accurately calculate how much energy supply is needed to cause a warp speed, then the latter calculates the coverage and shape of the warp bubble.

At present, the research progress in this direction is very encouraging, but it is unknown when the final goal can be achieved.

As time goes by, many scientists have also seen the progress of research in this direction, so more and more scientists and scientific teams have joined this track, but they did not focus on the warp bubble like this scientific team, but focused on the research of tachyons that this team has no energy to take care of for the time being.

For the first time, human beings have seen the horizontal development of scientific research on the road of exploring the grand unified theory. Before this, it was a continuous in-depth exploration, but now there is a feeling of derivative technology spreading.

Such development has made human civilization more and higher in terms of the quantity and quality of scientists, so that after obtaining the approval of the new government, many top scientific teams of the Chiyan civilization, the Nair people, and the Kuntai people have also joined the process of human scientific exploration.

This may not be what those humans who are extremely hostile to aliens want to see, but they cannot deny that this model is really beneficial to human scientific exploration.
