Chapter 89 The Large Hadron Collider
Only those who have experienced aging know how joyful it is to regain youth.
When his stagnant brain gradually resumed work and his thinking became agile again, Simmons was very happy for his decision.
What I lost was only external things such as wealth, but what I gained was a longer period of time.
Witten is younger than Simmons, but his youth is limited. He went to Pfizer's laboratory to communicate with Simmons last time.
The other party thinks much faster than him. He has known Simmons for many years, and this experience is the first for Witten.
Jie Ha said enviously: "If our plan goes well, you should have a chance to obtain a magic brain."
"The Demon Brain is really a magical creature. It would be great if Merlin wasn't called Merlin. He shouldn't have a name!"
"When the time comes, please tell me about the feeling after injecting the demon head, and what magic is."
Witten was noncommittal: "Maybe, if I get the magic brain, you may not be able to see me."
"And there is a high probability that the second magic brain we obtained will not be distributed. Biologists will use this one for experiments."
"Whether the research can be reproduced, I guess it will take at least until the third magic brain to get my turn."
Although Jha is a Nobel Prize winner and Witten has not won a Nobel Prize, Witten's status in the scientific world is much higher than that of Jha.
Mainly Amerikan has too many Nobel Prize winners, and Witten is one of the greatest physicists.
Jha can only be said to be a relatively good physicist.
"By the way, has the application for Europa's Large Hadron Collider been approved?" Jha asked.
Witten: "I don't know, I'm probably still arguing. Since the soul was discovered, Europa has also stopped applying for the use of the Large Hadron Collider."
"All foreign scientists have been expelled, and only Europa scientists remain."
Europa's Large Hadron Collider is currently the largest and most energetic particle accelerator in the world.
The method that everyone thinks of is to accelerate protons to hit the separated soul, and then observe the phenomenon that occurs after the soul particles are hit.
Europa's LHC (Large Hadron Collider) was built through the cooperation of more than 80 countries and regions, and its main management organization is the (Europa Nuclear Research Center).
There used to be more than 20 scientists from China working at the LHC, and now they have all returned to China.
Not only China, but all scientists except for the twenty-seven member countries of Europa were expelled.
Even scientists from some small countries in Europa have been marginalized, leaving only a few major countries in Europa to join forces with the countries where the LHC is located to control the entire operation of the LHC.
It is claimed that due to some technical reasons, the LHC cannot operate, so international cooperation is suspended and will be restarted after the LHC is restored.
Jie Ha said disdainfully: "If Europa refuses to agree, we will force them to agree."
"There are so many ways we can achieve our ends."
Witten: "Then what if they cooperate with China? You must know that China is also eager to use the LHC."
Jha asked in return: "Can China offer more than us?"
Witten: "What we can bring out, China can also bring out. The Webb telescope has not yet been assembled. China can lend their sky eye to Europa."
Jha said: "We can share magic-related information with China."
Witten reminded: "How do you know that there is no magic brain in China? You must know that the magic represented by Mars is not in our hands."
At this time, in a tunnel a hundred meters deep under the Jura Mountains, thousands of miles away from Oak Ridge, the remaining scientists were busy preparing for the next experiment.
"The next experiment will adjust the energy of the proton to 14TeV and the luminosity to 10e34 cm-2 s-1."
"Pay attention to the position of the pure collimator in the LHC ring and avoid errors caused by the superconducting magnet beam!"
"Everyone, stay focused!"
"Poor man, his life will be taken away by pressing the button in my hand."
"Stop being sentimental, he's a criminal."
"But the criminal also has his due rights."
"Shut up!"
The LHC consists of a 27-kilometer-long ring of superconducting magnets with many accelerating structures to increase the energy of particles along the way.
People have measured the energy and speed of cosmic rays reaching the Earth's atmosphere here.
Cosmic rays are actually particles produced in outer space.
Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at nearly the speed of light before colliding.
The beam propagates in opposite directions in different beam tubes, and the two beam tubes are maintained in a state close to the theoretical vacuum.
They are guided around the accelerator ring by strong magnetic fields maintained by superconducting magnets.
Electromagnets are made from special coils of cable that operate in a superconducting state, effectively conducting electricity without resistance or energy loss.
This requires cooling the magnet to minus 271.3 degrees Celsius, which is colder than outer space.
The LHC is located underground, but its operating system is above ground, in a large flat floor.
Scientists working at work in the control center and remotely operate the Large Hadron Collider through computers.
"This time we have the particle detectors at four locations, ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb, working at the same time!"
"Professor, do you think we will observe the combination of strange particles and ordinary particles this time?"
"I don't know. I am a beginner like everyone else when it comes to souls. I stand at the door on the mysterious side and wander around, trying to find the door that allows me to enter!"
Strange particles were proposed by Amerikan in 2000 before starting up the Heavy Ion Collider.
They believe that strange particles contain almost equal numbers of up quarks, down quarks and strange quarks.
In theoretical physics, it is believed that such strange particles will turn into ordinary particles within a millionth of a second. However, there is currently no definite result as to whether ordinary particles will turn into strange particles when they collide with strange particles.
It's just that no such phenomenon was found in past LHC experiments.
"To be honest, I feel as uneasy as everyone else. We know nothing about souls, and we are not even sure whether the observed white flocculent matter is a soul."
"Merlin said it was the soul, but we don't know whether Merlin's definition of soul is the same as our definition of soul."
The energy given to particles in the LHC experiment is added bit by bit, and they are also afraid of encountering safety problems.
For example, the formation of microscopic black holes, runaway nuclear fusion, etc.
Although there are souls, nothing similar has happened to cosmic rays hitting the earth in the millions of years of earth's history.
But there's no guarantee that this won't happen.
What if there is a one in a million chance of being encountered by scientists?
scientists are very cautious.
"Are you ready?"
