Chapter 216 The Love of Particles (10,000 characters)
At the same time as the 'rainwater' began to scatter at small angles.
In a world that is invisible to the naked eye.
"Sorry, 4396."
A doctor-looking man hurriedly walked in from outside the house and placed a CT report on the table.
At the same time, he said to a particle in front of him:
"There is nothing wrong with your bound state report, but I regret to tell you that your lifespan is only 0.77777777x10^-12 seconds left."
The particle numbered 4396 was a tall young man. Hearing this, he frowned:
"10^-12th power? Why is it two orders of magnitude shorter?"
Baryon sighed quietly, the up quark above his head was spinning at a super high speed, and explained:
"Actually, it's not just you, to be precise..."
"Every particle in our world of lead nuclei only has this number of lifetimes left."
Xiaopiao was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized something:
"Could it be..."
Dr. Shigeko nodded, stood up and looked at the sky:
"Based on the feedback we're getting, there's a Yang-Mills mass gap in the digital logic of the extranuclear world."
"In other words..."
"The lead atom nucleus we are in is moving tangentially at an extremely high speed."
"If nothing else happens, in 0.77777777...not 0.77777766x10^-12 seconds, you and I will..."
As he spoke, Dr. Shigeko closed the tips of his five fingers, and then suddenly spread them out:
"boo!"
The particles were silent upon hearing the words.
after awhile.
Dr. Shigeko took off his white coat and said to the particle:
"Okay, my friend, the k-mesons in my body are protesting, so I'm sorry, I'm going to enjoy the last days of my life..."
The particle raised his head and glanced at the super baryon, which was twice its size, and suddenly asked:
"Doctor, I don't know your name yet."
"Name."
Dr. Shigeko paused slightly with his left hand, which he put on his sunglasses, and then said:
"I am the Wuzi in the baryon, and the structure is the fourth form of the duu type, which is the bu type."
"So just call me...Wuzi Bu type."
"Goodbye, guest number 4396."
Finished.
Dr. Shigeko put on another black trench coat, held a crossbow and walked out of the room.
The particle was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
"Goodbye, Wuzi."
Then the particle walked to the window and looked at the noisy group of particles on the ground.
While the doctor is introducing the situation.
Changes in the world's speed are also propagated throughout the entire lead nucleus through z bosons.
So in just 15 femtoseconds.
There was commotion throughout the nuclear world.
However, the emotions of most particles are relatively stable, because they have understood one thing from the day they were born:
Destruction is your inevitable fate.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ‘life’ of this world.
How to leave enough information before you die is what you should really care about.
Rumble——
Just when the particle is thinking.
The building he was in suddenly shook violently, as if it was about to collapse.
This is the change caused by the world being 'accelerated'.
The energy level of 2 million electron volts has caused the world's structure to be overloaded.
See this situation.
Wei Li sighed lightly, put his index finger on his forehead, and then...
Disappeared in an instant.
After a while.
He reappeared in front of a small house.
That's right.
He teleported.
It was not a movement at super high speed, but a flash of light, crossing directly from the hospital to the small house.
At this moment.
On the grass in front of the house, more than a dozen young particles were gathered, chatting happily.
There are men and women, fat and thin.
You can see particles appearing.
The other particles stood up and waved to him excitedly at the same time, and one of them, the girl-like Λ superon, was particularly excited.
I saw her walking forward quickly and saying in a slightly reproachful tone:
"4396, you are finally back. We thought you had been annihilated."
Then she paused again and asked with concern:
"How's it going? Did the doctor find anything?"
Particle shook his head:
"Nothing found."
See this situation.
The girl felt a pain in her heart and subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold the particles.
However, a surprising scene happened:
The girl's hand passed through the particle's body without touching any entity.
This particle...
Like a ghost, untouchable.
The particle sighed when he saw this, with a lonely expression:
"Give up 4685, it's useless. Maybe my existence is just a joke made by the rules of the world."
The girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end he didn't speak.
In this inner-core world, every particle must abide by unique rules.
For example, under the action of weak force, there are innate barriers between particles.
They can only get closer to a distance of 1x10^-16 at most, and they will be repulsed and bounced away any closer.
In the microscopic world, this distance is exactly the skin-to-skin contact between hands.
But everything is accidental, and there are always some exceptions among these particles in the vast sea of stars.
For example, neutrinos in leptons.
It can come into contact with particles at will and even pass through them without any accidents.
Another example is that associated particles, like the earth and the moon in the macroscopic world, form a set of stable structures.
Besides, there is another possibility.
That is......
If the other party is tangible but insubstantial, just like air, 'contact' can also naturally occur.
It's just that this kind of contact has no physical touch, like the moon in the mirror, visible but intangible.
This is the particle numbered 4396.
He was born at the same midnight as the Λ hyperon of 4685. Not only were the two particles born very close to each other, but their orbits were also very similar.
So all the time.
They are all considered to be companion particles of 4685, so they are called 4396.
But as time goes by.
Particles similar to 4396 suddenly discovered something:
4396 can get close to any particle and become a companion of any particle, but it cannot make physical contact with any particle.
At the beginning.
4396 is considered to be a Tao particle, which is also a t neutrino.
But not long after, this judgment was rejected:
Because all the phenotypic characteristics of 4396 are hyperon-like, there are no identical particles, and the quantum states can be counted.
after that.
Another strange phenomenon was discovered:
The movement method of 4396 is not a jump, but a teleportation!
This concept may be better understood using a phenomenon in the macroscopic world:
In the game LoL, there is a character called the Evil Little Mage.
His e skill can create a restricted area, and heroes who touch the boundary of the area will be terminated.
For example, Lucian's e-skill, Akali's e-skill, and sprint-type displacements such as the force of the wind will be interrupted and terminated when they hit the edge.
But Flash can jump out of Xiaofa's E skill, which is an instant movement within a short distance.
This is how 4396 moves.
Ever since.
The particles were confused:
It's similar to a hyperon, but weird. What kind of particle is it?
You know, one thing was mentioned above.
It is different from the macroscopic world.
All particles in the world within the core are prepared for the possible short-term destruction of the world.
That's why.
Only at this time would 4685Λ Chaozi care about the test results of 4396, instead of shouting that the world is going to be destroyed, let's run away and so on.
For the particles in this world.
Their mission is to convey information.
The more information they leave before death, the more glorious they will be.
However, information transmission is simple in theory, but very difficult in practice.
Because the prerequisite for information to be transmitted is that it can be 'observed', otherwise it will be a useless effort.
As we all know.
The electron does not have a definite orbit, its position in space is random.
So people drew electron clouds to represent the probability of electrons in hydrogen atoms appearing in different positions.
After de Broglie proposed the concept of matter waves, Born explained the meaning of matter waves and wave functions through the theory of probability:
The wave function represents the probability of an event in a quantum system.
Therefore, the electron cloud is spread to deeper areas:
As long as the quantum states are the same, the particles have no clear orbit.
Due to the uncertainty principle, where it can appear is a "probability cloud".
Therefore, there is no way to track one of multiple identical quantum states, that is, it is impossible to "number" the same quantum state.
Therefore, not all particles can be observed after being blown away. 99.999% of particles cannot actually be captured in one experiment.
As for how they are sure that their 'ancestors' have been observed?
This is the problem involving entanglement:
The general carrier of entanglement is photons. If a beam of light of a specific wavelength is injected into a crystal, two entangled photons will be generated.
If one of the entangled photons is measured, it will cause the other photon to exhibit a corresponding collapsed state.
In a sense, this entangled state can be described by Schrödinger's cat, one of the four mythical beasts of physics.
As we all know.
The so-called four mythical beasts of physics refer to Zeno's turtle, Laplace's beast, Maxwell's demon, and Schrödinger's cat.
They correspond to the four major sections of calculus, classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics respectively.
Among them, Zeno's tortoise represents the question of whether it is infinitely divisible, which also becomes Zeno's paradox.
Zeno believed that if a person goes from point a to point b, he must first walk 1/2 of the distance, then walk the remaining 1/2 of the total distance, and then walk the remaining 1/2...and the cycle continues.
, can never reach the end.
This problem has been circulating for more than 2,000 years. It was not until the physicist Newton and the mathematician Leibtzny created calculus that this thousand-year-old beast came to an end.
Laprasmon represents the issue of creationism and absolutism.
This mythical beast was born in 1814 and can easily calculate the past and future of an atom in the universe through Newton's simple formula.
Coupled with the support of Pythagoras' theory of "everything is number", the scientific community once believed that the Laplace beast was indestructible.
However, compared to the Millennium Zeno Turtle, Laprasmon was a bit short-lived:
More than 100 years after it was proposed, it was defeated by Kelvin and Heisenberg using quantum mechanics.
Maxwell’s demon represents the problem of the second type of perpetual motion machine in thermodynamics.
Find out what you mean.
This is the proposal of mythical beasts, which is related to Maxwell.
His main purpose was to break the perpetual motion machine and create a machine with eternal power.
Maxwell's demon can control the movement of molecules at extremely fast speeds, minimizing energy consumption in the process, so that information can be obtained without losing energy.
However, the birth and development of quantum information theory was able to expel Maxwell's demon from the territory of the second law of thermodynamics.
Schrödinger's cat represents the problem of the contradiction between the uncertainty of microscopic particles and the macroscopic world.
Now with the passage of time, many crises have been gradually resolved, and the first three of the four mythical beasts have been eliminated.
By 2022, only Schrödinger’s cat, which transcends life and death, is still active in the cracks of quantum mechanics.
As for Schrödinger's cat...
Many people think that the subject of this experiment is only one cat, with no other auxiliary things.
That is to say, put the cat in the box and leave it alone. If we don't open the box, we won't know whether it is dead or alive.
Actually.
The process of this experiment is far from simple, otherwise Schrödinger would not be called a cat abuser.
According to Schrödinger's conjecture.
He first put a cat into a closed opaque box, and placed a radioactive atom in the box (the probability of decay is 50%).
Plus a particle detection device, a bottle of highly toxic substances, and a hammer.
If radioactive material decays, particle detectors can receive the particles emitted by the decay.
Then send a signal for the hammer to smash the bottle containing the highly toxic substance, so that the cat will die.
If the particle does not decay, the cat will live.
In other words, the state of the cat is determined by whether the particle decays.
According to classical physics, one of these two outcomes must occur inside the box, and an outside observer cannot know the outcome inside until the box is opened.
And in the quantum world.
When the box is closed, the entire system remains in an uncertain wave state, that is, the cat's life and death are superimposed.
Whether the cat is dead or alive can only be determined after the box is opened, that is, when the matter is expressed in the form of particles when an external observer observes it.
Actually.
Schrödinger's original intention of proposing this thought experiment was not to prove anything.
He was just expressing his dissatisfaction with the Bonn statistical interpretation and making a mockery of the Copenhagen interpretation.
But as the saying goes, unintentional planting will create shade.
This cat abuser used experiments to connect the micro and the macro, and extended quantum behavior to the macro world to verify the existence of quantum when observation intervenes.
This experiment successfully changed the issue from discussing the microscopic uncertainty principle to the macroscopic uncertainty principle. The objective laws are not subject to human will. The fact that a cat is both alive and dead violates the logical thinking of the macroscopic world.
A further extension of this experiment is the concept of entangled states.
That is to say.
After the 'ancestors' of those particles were observed.
This information will be transmitted to the microscopic world through messenger particles...that is, gauge bosons.
All particles of the same type will 'know' that they are being observed, no matter where they are in the universe.
This involves the mystery of co-moving coordinates and cosmic scale factors, which even the particles themselves know very little about.
Then under the guidance of 4685Λ hyperon.
4396 followed her to the particles.
He has always been a kind and humble person, and over the years, he has also made many good friends with him.
Therefore, many particles seemed very happy to see the arrival of 4396. After all, this was everyone's last gathering.
"Welcome back, 4396!"
"4396, when you didn't come back, 4685 was so anxious that the quarks were exchanged!"
"4396, sit here, sit here..."
4396 returned the favor with many particles in turn, and finally followed 4685 and sat next to a fat man.
Repelled by the weak interaction, the little fat man moved a little further to the side and said to 4396:
"came back?"
4396 nodded and asked:
"When did you arrive?"
The little fat man moved his chin in a certain direction, and some traces of orbits could still be vaguely seen in the sky:
"0.8x10^-14 seconds ago, as soon as we felt that the world inside the core was about to collapse, we rushed here."
4396 nodded thoughtfully.
These particles on the grass can be regarded as a small group with a very close relationship, regardless of their status or status.
There are eldest sons from big families, and there are also particles from humble families with little reputation.
For example, the little fat man talking to 3496 is a composite boson.
He was born from the famous hadronic clan. The whole clan was observed as early as 65 years ago, so he comes from a proud family.
However, compared to his ancestors, the situation of the little fat man is more special:
There is a special z boson in its structure, which carries a large amount of special information. It is the particle with the heaviest mission of this generation.
So he started shouting a long time ago, saying that if he was not observed, his parents would be embarrassed.
Then 4396 turned his head again, looked at a girl 3x10^-16 meters away from him, and said with a smile:
"Chancan, are you nervous?"
The girl opened her mouth when she heard this. She wanted to force herself to say that she was not nervous, but in the end she nodded slightly:
"Well, sort of."
She is a special double charm quark baryon. The single charm quark phenotype makes her have long black hair, and she looks quite like a royal sister.
It has only been observed three times since its ancestors, and it takes an average of 14.3 billion quark combinations to give birth to a double charm quark baryon.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that I am not nervous.
Seeing this, 4396 wanted to pat her on the shoulder and comfort her.
But he soon realized that he could not come into contact with other particles.
Then 4396 looked at 4685 next to him. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with his childhood sweetheart today.
Actually.
These particles gather here mainly because of a long-ago agreement:
If the world is about to be destroyed, the last gathering will be held here, and then they will "ascend" together.
Now the end is coming.
Some partners were unable to attend due to the end of their lifespan, but the remaining particles all came as scheduled.
Again.
Maybe this seems tragic from the perspective of the macroscopic world, but for these particles, this is their fate.
Rumble——
Another 0.55x10^-13 seconds passed.
The ground shook again.
In the far distance, the electronic layer "sky" composed of magnetic quanta suddenly sank and collapsed.
This is what happens when a world moving at high speed receives special external forces.
Just like humans racing without any protection, the skin on the face will be tightly attached to the bones.
At the same time, this is also...
A sign that the world’s ‘membrane’ is about to break.
See this situation.
The atmosphere on the lawn became much more solemn again.
After all, when something really happens, even if they have had a premonition, there are only a few who can really remain calm.
Looking at the sky that seemed to be about to collapse at any time, the little fat man suddenly said:
"4396, do you think we will have another life?"
4396 was slightly stunned and said in surprise:
"Afterlife?"
The little fat man nodded, confusion flashing in his eyes:
"Our bodies contain endless information from all eternity, and our mission is to pass them on. This is a truth that all particles understand from birth."
"What about the recipients? Who are they?"
"So I often think about what the outside of our world will look like?"
As he spoke, the little fat man pointed to a certain direction, where a tall tower could be vaguely seen:
"I once met an elder proton in that tower who liked to compose poetry. He once told me that he originally came from the proton flow in the universe."
"It has witnessed the reorganization of countless atoms for billions of years. It can be called immortal."
"And a long time ago, he was also produced by the decay of a certain hyperon."
"We decayed the proton, but what about the other matter that escaped?"
"Will it carry our consciousness and drift in the universe for countless years, or will it form other...life forms?"
Talk about this.
The little fat man suddenly thought of something, turned his head, and said excitedly to the people around him:
"Hey, everyone, tell me, if you have a next life, what do you want to be?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his belly and muttered:
"If I could have a next life, I hope I could become a leptonian so that they wouldn't laugh at me for being fat."
The girl with long straight black hair on the side heard this and said:
"I wish I could become a gluon."
The little fat man was stunned:
"Gluons? Why?"
The girl shook her head and said nothing.
Another boy said:
"I want to become a neutron so that I can live for a long, long time."
Everyone talked like this, and the little fat man looked at 4396 again:
"What about you, 4396?"
4396 was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand, and wanted to pick up a piece of grass.
However, what was waiting for him was still nothingness at his fingertips:
His fingers passed through the grass, as if they existed in a misplaced time and space.
Then he raised his hand towards the little fat man and said with a wry smile:
"If there is an afterlife, I just hope to have a real body, at least... stop being a ghost."
The little fat man's expression suddenly froze on his face.
He glanced at the grass on the ground and sighed deeply.
Just like what 4396 said.
He didn't know where he came from or where he was going.
Ever since he knew he couldn't touch things, he had only one obsession:
He is not afraid of death, he just wants to prove that he existed.
But unfortunately...
As the end of the world approaches, he still cannot fulfill his obsession.
As for being observed in the extranuclear world, let alone think about it:
Although he didn't know the specific reason, he was certain of one thing, that is, his clan's orbit had never been discovered since its emergence.
After all, flickering... leaves no trace.
While talking.
boom--
The lead atom nucleus running at super high speed finally hit a target hard.
influenced by.
The distant sky finally completely shattered and exploded into countless fragments.
In the eyes of these particles.
At this time, outside the sky, there are tracks of their own, carrying the auras of their ancestors.
There is only one thing they have to do:
Fly along the trajectory, land on the target with a perfect posture, and use everything you have to burn your own information.
The first one to fly up was the little fat man.
I saw this round composite boson taking the lead in taking off, flying out of the sky like a balloon.
He waved vigorously towards the particles on the ground and said while flying:
"Goodbye, friends!"
6.2x10^-14 seconds later.
The cold double charm quark baryons flew into the sky.
She didn't speak, just waved towards the particles.
However, not long after she took off.
On the lawn, a thin and thin Gluon suddenly summoned up the courage to take a step forward and went straight to the sky:
"Chancan, wait for me! I like you!"
The originally cold face of the double charm quark baryon suddenly became happy, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up:
"Idiot, I'm just saying it now..."
Finally, in the eyes of many particles.
The gluon caught up with the double charm quark baryon and flew out of the sky holding hands.
A trace of deep envy flashed in 4396's eyes.
Then he turned his head, only to find that 4685's eyes were staring elsewhere.
See this situation.
4396 couldn't help but sigh.
perhaps...
She must have been completely disappointed...
As the traction force outside the sky curtain becomes stronger and stronger, many particles on the lawn also begin to fly outward.
It's actually more than just lawns.
Precisely.
At this time, throughout the inner core world, a large number of particles are rising upwards and flying out of the sky.
Among these particles, 4396 also found many old acquaintances.
For example, I first thought that he was a fermion aunt. At this time, she was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand. She looked like she was cooking.
Another example is a person who pursued 4685, but was beaten up by the little fat man and others with the Higgs particle...
He also saw a proton with a leisurely expression, which was the elder who had lived for hundreds of millions of years as the little fat man said - uncle, don't be so leisurely, you will be neutralized if you encounter an electron!
In addition, there is the former Dr. Baryon, whose body shape is quite conspicuous among the many particles...
after awhile.
4396 suddenly felt a slight suction.
Oh, by the way, it's almost time for me.
Pretty much here.
4396 turned around and prepared to say the final goodbye to 4685.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was stunned.
I don't know when, 4685 has come to his side.
Two tears slid deeply from his eyes and fell on the grass drop by drop.
it is more than words.
Looking at 4685 and 4396 with sad faces, their hearts suddenly twitched, and they said feebly:
"4685, I'm sorry, I still can't own the entity..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by 4685:
"No, there is another way!"
Looking at the somewhat surprised 4396, 4685 wiped away the tears, with an unprecedented firmness flashing in their eyes, and explained:
"My number is 4685, which is the class with the most estimated mass among all Λ hyperons."
"There is a pion in my body, which is a standard quark-antiquark two-body bound state, and is at least 30% higher in magnitude than other pions."
"The fundamental reason why you were considered my companion in the first place is that your appearance is similar to mine, so there must be a π meson in your body - this is inevitable according to the basic rules."
"So if two pions intersect with me as the medium, then the strong nuclear force will definitely produce a pulling effect."
"According to the principle of fluctuation, at the moment when mesons interact, we must be the same entity!"
4396's eyes widened the more he listened, and in the end he shook his head crazily:
"No, absolutely not, you will be annihilated in an instant, or even...wait, what are you doing!"
While speaking, 4685 suddenly inserted his hand into his chest.
4396 subconsciously rushed towards her, but passed through 4685's body like air - at this time, 4396 was still just a 'ghost'.
Therefore, he could only stand where he was, watching helplessly as 4685 took out his pions, without any ability to stop it.
even......
Can't even cry.
After a while.
4685 held out a small ball of light in his trembling hands, and handed it to 4396 with all his strength, his face was pale:
"Hurry up... hurry up... I don't have much time."
4396 looked at this scene with eyes wide open and his whole body was trembling.
Only under the effect of strong interaction.
The pi meson in 4685's hand slowly floated into his body.
One nanosecond later.
Plop——
A powerful wave suddenly came from 4396's heart.
at the same time.
There was suddenly a warm feeling in the palm of his left hand.
4396 slowly raised his head.
I saw 4685 gently holding his left hand with a soft, boneless catkin, and his affectionate eyes held a love that spanned life and death.
Due to premature decay, 4685's lifespan is rapidly dissipating.
finally.
Unable to hold herself up, she fell heavily into 4396's arms, her eyes gradually dimming.
"I... finally touched you."
...........
after an hour.
Macroscopic world.
"Very good!"
On the operating table, Zhao Zhengguo clapped his hands heavily and said excitedly to Academician Pan:
"There really is such a particle, Xiao Pan. I would like to congratulate you in advance on your further research... Well, what's wrong with you?"
I saw him opposite.
At this time, Academician Pan was wrinkling his eyebrows, looking at the decay sample in front of him with a puzzled expression, and kept muttering:
"Strange......"
Zhao Zhengguo glanced at him:
"What's weird?"
"The energy level of this special particle is a bit strange. It seems that before being observed, it had a special interaction with the pi meson of a Λ hyperon, and then the Λ hyperon disappeared."
"Oh? Interaction? How long did it last?"
Academician Pan turned over the decay samples and replied:
"0.84x10^-16 seconds."
...........
Note:
The question arises, is it the trajectory calculated by Xu Yun that allows the ghost particles to be captured, or is it the interaction of particles in the microscopic world that has the effect?
This is actually a state of entanglement~
