Voyage of the Stars

The topic of negative matter and negative energy obviously exceeds the existing physical system of human beings. It should be noted that before these two things were confirmed to exist and studied, human physics was carried out under the framework of the standard particle model, but negative matter and negative energy were obviously not included.

The standard particle model has a total of 61 basic particles, including fermions and bosons. Fermions are particles with half-odd spins and obey the Pauli exclusion principle. This principle states that no identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state, while bosons do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle.

So we know that fermions are particles that make up matter, while bosons are responsible for transmitting various interaction forces.

And the so-called energy is actually included in the calibrated particle model.

But now scientists have discovered something that may be negative matter, which seems to be impossible to explain with the standard particle model. It seems that it does not belong to this system and seems out of place.

With this conclusion, scientists can't help but think of the graviton theory. According to the idea of ​​the standard model, if the graviton can be included, then it is a boson with a spin of 2, which is a factor that transmits gravity.

But for a long time, humans have not made any breakthroughs in gravitons. Instead, they have made some seemingly plausible discoveries, but they are not gravitons.

So for a long time, humans have also had this cognition that gravity is so special, it is unique, as if it does not go along with the other three forces, and is very arrogant.

In the long years of the past, humans have tried to study it from different angles. For example, in quantum theory, gravitational quanta are called gravitons, and gravitons are formed by decomposing the Riemann metric. In this theory, matter interacts with each other by exchanging such gravitational packets.

But this method completely loses Einstein's beautiful geometric description, and unfortunately, all loops with loops inside them are infinite, which makes gravity and quantum theory unable to be unified in the past. Until now, the quantum gravity theory that unifies gravity and the other three forces is still the holy grail of physics.

So what does this have to do with the negative matter and negative energy studied by scientists?

Of course there is. Negative matter is also not described in the standard model, and is also regarded as an important object for exploring the holy grail of the theory of everything. Humans believe that they can indirectly spy on gravity through studying it, and then integrate gravity into the grand unified theory to complete the puzzle of the theory of everything.

The Star Alliance led by humans docked in the void and lived here like void residents. They also studied this natural wormhole day by day. After discovering something that seemed to be negative matter, human scientists were very excited and established many related research projects with the support of the new human government.

Time was spent in such day-to-day research, day after day, year after year, and eight years passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, humans have made some progress in studying negative matter. First, it was determined that the thing was negative matter. Secondly, it was proved that it was not negative energy around the natural wormhole that made human detectors react, but negative energy fields.

The negative energy field has a characteristic, that is, human detectors do not react when they are stationary or transporting in it, and only react when they are changing speed.

This discovery is considered by scientists to be a breakthrough in research, because this property is so similar to the formation of gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves. Oh no, it is exactly the same to some extent.

Because anyone with some scientific knowledge knows that any variable speed motion of a massive object will produce gravitational waves. It must be variable speed motion, not uniform speed. Of course, the object cannot be spherically symmetrical and the frequency of acceleration change in the motion state must be higher than the minimum value of the gravitational wave frequency.

Similarly, according to Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, any variable speed motion of an electric charge will produce electromagnetic waves.

So since negative matter is matter and its mass is not zero, when it is not spherically symmetrical and moves at a variable speed, will it also produce gravity?

Scientists tried to study the discovered negative matter from the perspective of material analogy, but they encountered a big problem at the beginning, that is, how to make the detected negative matter move at a variable speed. Detection is not a problem. Humans have many ways to detect gravitational waves, and they are very accurate.

In the Earth era, we can measure the change of one thousandth of the length of an atomic nucleus, that is, the detection of gravitational waves at the nanohertz level. Now, it is needless to say that humans can detect any change.

As for how to make negative matter move at a variable speed, humans are definitely unable to extract the negative matter now, and they don’t know how to preserve it, so the idea of ​​humans is to use a large-mass detector to approach the surface of a natural wormhole with variable acceleration, and then let the negative matter be pushed and accelerated when it repulses the matter.

Everyone thinks this method is feasible, but it is very difficult to actually do the experiment. There are many technical difficulties to overcome. It took eight years for countless scientific teams to work together to complete this experiment.

However, the experimental results dealt a heavy blow to humans. The detector did not detect the gravitational waves generated by negative matter, oh. Or repulsive waves. After all, human detectors are positive matter, which is repulsive force relative to the "gravity" generated by negative matter.

Of course, negative matter has negative mass. For negative matter itself, for example, when two neutron stars composed of negative matter collide, what they produce is actually called gravitational waves, of course, for negative matter.

Humans are certainly depressed because they did not detect repulsive waves. After all, this is a huge discrepancy with normal logic. Negative matter with negative mass has gravitational reactions with each other, and the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This is the conclusion that humans have reached before.

In subsequent experiments, humans also detected repulsive reactions between them and positive matter, and the magnitude of the repulsive force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance. These are all in line with human normal logical thinking, and everyone thinks it is very reasonable.

However, now, humans have not detected the existence of "repulsive waves", which is unexpected. At first, humans thought that their detectors were not accurate enough, or that the negative mass of the negative matter block was not large enough, so that the frequency of its motion state accelerating was lower than the minimum value of the "repulsive wave" frequency.

But after countless experimental corrections, humans found that this was not the case. This negative matter experiment did indeed appear to be anti-human logic.

Nature must have its reasons for doing this, and it is not necessarily correct to conform to one's own logic. After so many years in the starry sky, humans have long understood this.

So after a brief disappointment, the human scientific team devoted themselves to studying and analyzing the causes of this phenomenon, instead of standing in disbelief.
