Chapter 31: The Aether

Just as Lee Kit and Arashi were interrogating Bart in Master Rooney's lab. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoThe others who were trimming and guarding the ground were not idle.

A large part of the reason why Hank the Beast came to Hell this time was for experiments and investigations.

Examining the structure and dynamics of another world is a fatal temptation for scientists. Especially when there are other intelligent beings in this world.

Hank carries with him quite a bit of equipment for scientific experiments, although most of them are portable. But even so, it still fills a big pocket.

Leaving the last place of prayer of the Earth Dragon Nesario. The Sheephorn Demon does not set foot in this black earth, and no other signs of life activity have been detected in the vicinity.

This is a very good occasion for Hank's test collection.

The large bag that Hank brought was the height of a man, and it was filled with various test and testing instruments. This kind of heavy package, if it weren't for Hank's infinite manpower as a mutant, ordinary people would simply not be able to carry so many things.

As Hank's students, Cyclops and Stormgirl are helping Hank with the devices. Wolverine was not very interested in any of this, and he smelled the cigar in Frank's arms. He asked for one, and the two of them smoked cigars on the side.

Although Hank looks like a beast, he is as meticulous as a hair, and even the movements of soil sampling are very delicate.

He carefully took out the test tubes and sorted the collected soil and stones into separate categories. At the same time, he took out a portable particle trap and began to try to collect particles and subatoms in the air.

Tony Stark, who is also a scientist, and Peter Parker, a top student, watched Hank's actions with interest. And the current black goblin Harry Osbourne was also watching from the sidelines, but he didn't intervene or participate.

Because he had a lot of contact with Tony Stark, Harry couldn't hide his habits as well as Li Jie.

He didn't want Tony Stark to see through his true identity, and only Tony Stark could do such high-profile things as Iron Man.

"What are you doing here?" Peter Parker approached with interest as he saw Hank turn on the particle trap and start working.

"Capture particles and subatoms. The beast pulled out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and brought them to himself.

His portable particle trap is much like a laptop, but larger and heavier. There is also a tiny radar at the top of the laptop screen.

However, Peter doesn't think it's used to receive WIFI signals. Maybe there are other uses?

Peter soon learned what the tiny radar was for, as Hank was fully operational when the machine was activated.

A number of small, fly-like flying machines flew out of the bottom exit of the machine.

"Clever design, you made it yourself, there's no such device on the market. Tony Stark looked at Hank's device and complimented.

"It reminds me of the particle detectors I designed, but they weren't as small and portable. How many useful particles can you help you capture with this machine?"

"Not a lot, because of the power problem. Sampling and analysis due to volume and power constraints is difficult, but at least it can be used barely. Hank replied as he operated the device.

"What kind of subatoms and mesomicroparticles are you capturing?" asked Peter, interested.

"Have you ever heard of aether particles?" Hank said, letting the device run, turning to Tony and Peter.

"Please, you're a scientist, not a theologian. Aether? You're going to study Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind at the same time to become an archmage? Oh yes, we have a mage here. Hank, you can learn from them, I've heard that their training is actually very scientific. Hearing the Aether Particle, Tony smiled and shook his head.

"What is an aether particle?" Harry pulled Peter Parker beside him, he had never heard of such a term.

"Oh, that's something that hasn't been taught in school. It's more of a philosophical concept than physical knowledge. Peter Parker whispered in Harry's ear.

This is a hypothesis put forward by Aristotle. All things are made up of ether. The ether particle is the source of all things and the foundation of reality. However, the scientific community abandoned the aether hypothesis early on. ”

"At least two hundred years ago, the scientific community has long since rejected the ether hypothesis. However, as a philosophical thought, it has been preserved. It is the knowledge of the earliest classical school of physics, and together with the four substances of earth, water, fire and wind, it is recognized as the earliest exploration and generalization of nature by human beings. ”

"Where did you see that?" Harry glanced at Peter.

"Oh, the internet. You know, I had to go through all kinds of materials in order to submit a research report and apply to a university or something. Peter spread his hands.

"The little spider is right, the aether particles have never been proven. It's more of a hypothesis. Or we can pin it as spirituality, or study it as philosophy. Tony Stark nodded, affirming Peter Parker's claim.

Iron Man Tony Stark is an applied scientist. Although all the inventions and research he did were cutting-edge, most of them were closely related to human life.

Most of his technology is something that is needed in everyday reality. Whether it's energy or weapons, or transportation and smelting technology. It's all inseparable from life.

Tony rarely gets to the metaphysical stuff, like the research that Dr. Charlize is doing right now on the moon, or what Hank is doing now.

But even if Tony doesn't get it himself, it's not like he doesn't understand the importance of these things. Because these studies are the foundations, and the applied sciences are the branches and leaves attached to these foundations.

But the aether particle is still too much of a thing, more out of the way than the antimatter and dark matter that Charlize is studying, and closer to the occult than to traditional science.

"Aether particles have never been proven, and if you really want to explore the mysteries of the universe, I think I can invite you to the moon after this mission is over. Tony tried to dispel Hank's research.

Because he could see that Hank was a rare scientist, and that a scientist of this genius should use his strength on the right path, instead of wasting his strength on useless work.

"If you're looking to explore the grand subject of what the world is up to, I think you and Dr. Charlize will have a common language. He's building a base on the moon where he can capture dark matter and antimatter, and those studies might be even more helpful. ”

"I know you may think what I'm doing is ridiculous, even nonsense. Because the aether particle has never really been proven. Hank pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said unhurriedly.

"Many people think that Aristotle thousands of years ago was just using his own grotesque dreams to give a plausible answer to the ultimate question of mankind. ”

Tony, Peter, and even Harry all nodded, they all felt that way.

"But if I tell you now, I once detected aether particles, and it was right here in London, Earth. So what are you going to see?" Hank's eyes instantly sharpened behind the lenses.
