Chapter 577 The Nature of Gravity

As he spoke, Xu You opened his computer and found out his plan for the space gravity system.

Compared with Lu Zhiyao's design drawings, Xu You's design is much more detailed.

However, after all, Lu Zhiyao just drew a random picture, which is definitely not comparable to the picture carefully designed by Xu You.

In terms of overall design specifications, the two people are almost the same, which proves that Lu Zhiyao indeed has very professional abilities.

"The master's wife and the teacher must not have secretly agreed to put on such a show deliberately. They will definitely not be bored. I didn't expect the master's wife to be so powerful. It really exceeded my imagination."

Lin Shi murmured silently in her heart, and couldn't help but admire Lu Zhiyao.

Naturally, Xu You had never studied similar details with Lu Zhiyao before. The reason why Lu Zhiyao was able to master this knowledge was due to his usual hard work and his increasingly powerful brain power.

"Using centrifugal force to simulate gravity and create an artificial space gravity system is currently the most likely and safest method of space gravity. However, its drawback is that the spacecraft must be large enough, which is difficult for our rocket to carry

There will be a very big test on our capabilities. We will definitely launch such a large space station that can use centrifugal force to simulate gravity in the future."

At this point, Xu You changed the subject.

"It is still unknown when we will be able to launch such a huge space station. Therefore, in addition to using centrifugal force to simulate gravity, we also need to try to find other methods to simulate gravity on the earth."

After listening to what Xu You said, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Indeed, using a huge space station to simulate gravity is currently the most feasible method.

Although this method is theoretically feasible, it is not easy to implement.

At this time, Lin Shi said half-jokingly:

"It would be great if gravity coating could be invented like in science fiction novels and science fiction movies. Apply gravity coating to the bottom of the spacecraft, and then install negative mass material on the top of the spacecraft, so that you can simulate something like

The gravity environment on the earth. Alas, these are just parts of science fiction, and there is no complete scientific theory support."

These ideas of Lin Shi's cannot be said to be completely unrealizable, but they cannot even be supported theoretically.

However, these thoughts provided Xu You with some inspiration, allowing Xu You to immediately enter a flow state and think about various other possibilities.

"Teacher...have you entered that state again?"

Lin Shi noticed Xu You's abnormal changes, but Lin Shi was already accustomed to Xu You like this, and knew that she must not disturb Xu You when he was silent and in a state of meditation.

Others also knew Xu You's habit, so they all closed their mouths and waited for Xu You's thinking process.

"No matter what force it is, as long as it can produce an effect similar to gravity, the problem can be solved. Let's try the possibility of pressure first."

Xu You's first thought was to use pressure to replace gravity to achieve an effect similar to gravity.

But soon, after Xu You's brain simulation, Xu You denied the possibility of this direction.

Using pressure can indeed cause the human body to experience gravity on a macro scale, but for the human body itself, the experience is completely different.

These pressures then act on the surface of the human body and will not act on the interior of the human body.

This feeling is like being in deep water and being under strong pressure from the water, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"The force of gravity actually acts on every particle of the human body. Only the form of force based on the same principle can achieve almost the same effect."

This is why similar effects can be produced by using the centrifugal force caused by rotation.

"Wait a minute...what is the nature of gravity?"

At this time, Xu You thought of another question.

According to the understanding in the textbook, according to the formula of universal gravitation, universal gravitation is directly proportional to the product of the masses of two objects that attract each other, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

If we understand it on a deeper level, the essence of gravity is the distortion of space and time.

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the curvature it causes in the nearby space-time.

When a small object passes near a large object, it will be affected by this curvature and fall near the large object.

This influence is manifested in mechanics as the so-called "gravity".

But at this time, Xu You didn't feel that this was the only essence of gravity.

Xu You immediately thought of another force, Coulomb force.

This is a force between two charges. Its calculation formula is very similar to the form of universal gravitation, except that the mass is replaced by the amount of charge, and different coefficients are replaced.

According to the space-time distortion theory of gravity, the forms of the two forces are very similar, which is not difficult to understand.

However, Xu You felt that the very similar expressions of the two forces could reveal some hidden relationships between mass and charge.

"The amount of charge carried by protons and electrons is exactly the same, but the mass difference is nearly two thousand times. Can we assume that the proton actually contains a positron and other uncharged particles?" Xu You thought

road.

Thinking of this, Xu You began to simulate a more microcosmic world in his brain.

In previous simulation experiments of controllable nuclear fusion, Xu You has been able to simulate it at the quantum level.

Looking at the more microscopic world in his mind, Xu You discovered some new information.

"Sure enough, the composition of protons is not just as simple as quarks and gluons, but can also be divided into more detailed parts. It includes 62 basic particles, which can be further divided."

Due to limited brain power, Xu You is still unable to see clearly what kind of particles the higher-precision particles are.

But at this time, Xu You already had a bold guess.

Perhaps the even tinier particles that make up these elementary particles are simpler than we imagined.

Just like Go, there are so many complex changes, and the basic chess pieces are only black and white.

After completing this series of complex thoughts in his mind, Xu You finally broke out of the flow state.

Only then did Xu You realize that he was still in the laboratory discussing various ideas about the space gravity system with everyone.
