Episode 14 Chapter 10: Discussion
The debate throughout the venue continues. In fact, the venue has shifted from discussing the possibility of green light inside to a major academic discussion about whether four-dimensional space can exist in the current universe.
Of course, there were not only debates on site, but also among the small group of scientists that Ivan initially convened. There were actually debates and disagreements among themselves. After all, this was a four-dimensional space.
In fact, it is not that the field of human science has never dabbled in four-dimensional space. As early as when humans were still on the earth, many scientists have imagined the space and time of the entire universe, such as quantum theory, relativity theory, string theory, etc.
There are theories involving space and time, and there are many and complete descriptions of four-dimensional space.
One-dimensional space is the so-called line, two-dimensional space is the so-called surface, and three-dimensional space is the three-dimensional three-dimensional space formed by the three-point coordinates of length, width, and height. Some people also add time to these three dimensions, but that is the so-called four-dimensional space.
Time and space are completely different from pure space.
If we look at pure space, it seems that the entire universe is the so-called length, width and height. There is no other space that can be expanded to four dimensions. But this is just like one-dimensional creatures cannot imagine what width is. Two-dimensional creatures
It is impossible to imagine what height is like, and normal creatures in the three-dimensional universe cannot imagine what four dimensions are. Only scientists can guess and simulate what the real four-dimensional space is like from various angles.
At the same time, simulating and guessing the four-dimensional space can be done in a computer system, but it is unimaginable to truly apply the four-dimensional space to the real three-dimensional universe, let alone light.
It is a problem of space volume, resulting in energy dissipation and maintenance problems. This is an unavoidable problem for human scientists now. Either the current human scientific system and theoretical views have collapsed, or the green light in front of them is nothing at all.
Four-dimensional space.
This is a psychological limitation. Even if human beings' own scientific and technological foundation is weak and fragile compared to the civilization of the universe, it is after all the mother technology developed by human beings themselves and is the cradle of human civilization. It is human beings who have passed through several
Over the course of thousands of years, bit by bit, we have relied on the knowledge system accumulated through the hard work of countless generations. Even now, we have only half-stepped into the "extremely high level" of the third-level cosmic civilization. These original technological systems are still
It is absolutely impossible to throw it away. In fact, this is the reason why the technological progress of the Hope is so slow. It is not a direct use and belief in a cram-like manner, but to constantly adapt to human beings' own technological system and slowly absorb foreign technologies.
In the words of Blue 6, this situation is for the Cenozoic civilization that entered the universe at an early stage. Of course, the technology is also the most stable. It is said, of course, it is just said. It seems that it will enter the intermediate cosmic civilization.
This kind of technological stability far exceeds the importance of all technologies.
At this moment, mankind is encountering such a situation, a problem that has to be solved. However, once the existence of this problem is acknowledged, loopholes may appear in mankind's stable technological system, and technology is no different than others. It is like starting from the bottom of a pyramid.
Level after level, when the base and cornerstone at the bottom are destroyed, the technology at the top is likely to collapse.
The entire discussion lasted for nearly four hours, and not only did it not stop, but it showed signs of getting more and more intense. If it weren't for the fact that they were discussing something in the scientific category, Yao Yuan, who was watching, even thought it was a group of congressmen discussing some issue, and then
There is a dispute between politics and interests, and it is like a scene where someone is about to be beaten.
Fortunately, after nearly four hours, these middle-aged and elderly people were a little tired. At this time, Yao Yuan directly ordered the staff to serve a simple lunch. Although it was not as good as the lunch eaten in the restaurant, it still had one meat, two vegetables and one soup.
As well as bread or rice prepared according to their respective tastes, as well as an apple or an orange, the whole scene, except for a little discussion, became the sound only when eating.
Seeing this, Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, although he is the head of the human government, the largest leader of the human remnants, and a human hero who saves mankind in the eyes of everyone, is extremely wise, and is full of retaining democracy, Yao Yuan has nothing to do with any scientists and scholars on the Hope.
He was so polite that some great scientists dared to yell directly in the captain's cabin for the construction of some important equipment.
This is not only a show, but also a kind of respect. Compared with the defense forces and even the space warriors, these scholars and scientists are the greatest saviors of mankind. They are the greatest heroes of mankind. Without them, what would have happened?
Are there advancements in human technology? Gauss rifles, aerospace combat suits, even interstellar battle armors, space battle machines, various heavy weapons, etc. All of these are just clouds. That is not what Polly can do with her own strength.
, so these scientists are the greatest heroes that human civilization has survived to this day, so it is appropriate and reasonable to respect them no matter how much they are respected.
Because of this, Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. In order to cultivate the free scientific atmosphere of the Hope, he almost did not interfere with any research in the scientific community except for making requests for creations that were urgently needed for combat or survival.
And regarding materials, money, and even the treatment of scientists, it can be said that he has tried his best. This can be seen from the initial system of the Hope. As early as when it set off from the earth, the treatment of scientists had changed.
He is the best on the Hope, even surpassing him, the human leader, in many aspects.
How could he interrupt their discussion at this time? It is not a very urgent situation now. There is at least a few or even dozens of days of safe time. How could he interrupt the discussion of these scientists under such circumstances?
But continuing to argue like this is not an option. Yao Yuan hopes to take this opportunity to have lunch to ease the mood of these scientists. But unfortunately, when the lunch has just ended, most scientists can't wait to dive into discussing each other's theories.
In terms of debate, in fact, perhaps they have forgotten the main purpose of this meeting, because the loose scientific and political environment of the Hope has made them accustomed to discussing each other's theoretical and academic issues unscrupulously anywhere, including in this meeting venue
superior.
In this way, the argument continued for several hours in the afternoon. No one was able to convince anyone, but in the end there was a turning point...
The person who spoke was the great physicist Silvius. As the oldest person on the Hope, the person with the most extensive academic knowledge, and the most say in the physical system, he was also involved in this big debate. At this time
When he took the stage to speak, he directly said: "My colleagues present, I know your anxiety. In fact, I am equally anxious, because this is not a simple debate, but the maintenance of the scientific and technological foundation of our humanity. I think
You all feel this way, right? Why don’t I feel the same way?”
"But! Remember, we are scientists! What are scientists? They are people who are constantly exploring the truth of the universe in denial, affirmation, fantasy and verification! If our scientific foundation, the great people in our history are wrong...
Yes, many of them have missed it before, and they may continue to make mistakes in the future. Including us and everything we are studying now may be wrong, but the truth will not change. Don’t scream about the physical system in pessimism and despair here.
It collapsed, there is no so-called physics in the universe, there is! It’s just that these truths are not known to us yet, just like the unified theory of the universe we have always dreamed of!”
"Now, let us first let go of our thinking, make bold assumptions, and be cautious in solving problems. Let us first assume that advanced cosmic civilization has a mysterious and unknown super-advanced energy source. This energy is so large that it has exceeded the energy of the universe that we can currently observe.
The combination of total mass and total energy, such as dark matter and dark energy, or even possible superstring energy fields, or even more incredible energy sources. If this energy really exists, then the maintenance of four-dimensional space can continue.
…”
Sielewei has a long-standing reputation in the scientific community of Hope, especially in the physics community. Not only because of his extremely high knowledge, but also because of his unique German rigorous attitude and his warm-heartedness under the serious surface. He is very popular in the scientific community of Hope.
, he is truly one of the leading scientists, and his words are often more effective than those of Yao Yuan in the Hope scientific community.
When Sirewei said it, the scientists at the scene gradually calmed down, and followed Sirewei's ideas and began to consider this possibility. However, amidst everyone's chatter, they were really surprised.
They came up with many possibilities and verification methods, which led to another kind of excitement... four-dimensional space! If it is a real four-dimensional space, the most human beings can imagine is to simulate it in their minds or on a computer.
Really appearing in the universe, this is really unimaginable for creatures in three-dimensional space, especially for these scientists, it is like a male criminal who has been imprisoned for more than ten years suddenly saw a naked beauty station
Begging in front of him is simply an irresistible temptation.
There were even some of the most anxious scientists who voluntarily entered it to explore. Of course, these remarks were quickly rejected and scolded by Yao Yuan outright, and they were said very rudely. At the same time, they also criticized Yao Yuan for making these remarks
The scientists were temporarily banned. The reason is very simple. Because of Yao Yuan's preferential treatment policy, the scientists have several experimental transport ships that specialize in conducting various experiments in a gravity-free environment. If these scientific madmen really want to enter them, they will be crazy.
If so, maybe they will actually succeed.
Just like that, after this meeting that lasted three days, the results of the scientists' use of artificial intelligence simulation calculations came out, a re-exploration plan! (To be continued)
