Chapter 226: The Missing Thirteen Hours (Subscription Requested!)

A clerical error in the previous chapter, "5:27 p.m. on September 5", has been corrected!

――――――――――――――――

Since the birth of human civilization, the exploration of the unknown has never stopped.

Why do people live, why do they die, what kind of value does a person have when he comes to this world, for this world, its existence is just a passerby, or it constitutes the basis of this world.

No one has ever been able to answer this question thoroughly. Life is short for decades, ups and downs for decades, is it possible that from birth, what awaits is the coming of death?

And for the universe in which human beings live, the exploration of it has never stopped. What is the universe, how big it is on the macrocosm, how small it is on the microcosm, what forces drive the operation of the universe, and how the rules of the universe are formulated, all these are both science and philosophy.

There seems to be a giant hand in the underworld, and the universe is like a ball, suspended above the giant hand, and this giant hand manipulates the birth and death of the universe at will, and also indirectly manipulates the fate of the world's creatures.

****************

On the evening of 5 September, Li Hewen stayed in the monitoring room as a researcher on duty in the radio telescope monitoring department.

The work of the monitoring department is very complicated, but it is also very simple, it is complicated, because the monitoring department is responsible for listening to all the signals from the universe, separating, extracting, and amplifying useful signals from them, the task is cumbersome, and the technical requirements are extremely high, and it is simple, and because the band from the universe will hardly change much, it is a straight line that does not move for days or weeks......

However, at 5:27 p.m. on September 5, history will remember this crucial moment.

Because it ...... It has completely changed the way we understand the universe.

……

……

"What do you mean by the giant hand that controls the universe? Let's do science. Why use such a metaphor that is clearly ghostly and idealistic?"

An old-school scientist immediately stood up and questioned, and he felt that the person in front of him was called Li Hewen. No, it should be said that the entire astronomical community has problems, one phenomenon is one phenomenon, and it is simply a blasphemy against science to give a good name, and to give such a strange name as "the giant hand that controls the universe".

Li Hewen, a young astrophysics researcher, shook his head with a wry smile, "Professor Wang, it's not that we deliberately gave this strange name, it's really the observed phenomenon that subverts our understanding of traditional astrophysics. Our understanding of the universe also wavered at that moment, as if we had found some kind of law in the universe, but we were afraid to admit it......"

"Professor Wang, let me ask you a question first, do you believe that there is a god in this world?"

"Nonsense!"

Professor Wang Lao has studied science all his life, and now someone actually asks him if there is a god in this world, and the scientific community still wants to turn back the clock on history?

Other scientists, including Gao Xiang, also cast strange glances at Li Hewen, as if this young man was talking nonsense here. Only Lieutenant General Hong Tian and the old general Lao Shen were there, and they had no intention of stopping Li Hewen.

Li Hewen saw that everyone was waiting for his answer. He adjusted his tone and said: "Einstein and Newton are considered the greatest scientists in human history, and they both stood at the highest peak of the field of thought at that time. But why did they all believe in God in their old age?"

"Because when they exhausted the objective laws of the physical world, they finally found out. The ultimate answer to the question of the universe can only point to God. ”

"Albert Einstein said in an interview: Some people think that religion is not scientific. I'm a person who studies science, and I know it deeply. Today's science can only prove the existence of an object, not the non-existence of a certain object. So if we can't prove the existence of an object at this time. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. The reason why science today has not proven the existence of God is because science has not yet advanced to that extent. Not that God does not exist. All in all, there is a limit to the five senses of human beings, and it is impossible to feel the existence of God, and science cannot deny the existence of God. ”

Albert Einstein: "One person is enough to prove me wrong, so why bother so many?"

……

"Dr. Lee, what do you want to say?"

Gao Xiang couldn't help but ask his confusion.

Li Hewen smiled bitterly: "I say this to persuade everyone to believe that there is an existence in this world that is defined as a god?" He shook his head, "No, I don't believe in the existence of God either, but the objective reality tells us that this world is controlled by a mysterious force, this power, just like a god beyond the universe, he has a giant hand, wantonly playing with our universe!"

"At 5:27 p.m. on September 5, the radio telescope at our Sheshan base observed the cosmic star map, and the star map observed at that moment and the star map observed afterwards completely explained to us a change, which began at 5:27 p.m."

As he spoke, Li Hewen turned on the projector in the conference room, and a complex picture of light spots was displayed on the screen, and several brighter light spots were also marked with star numbers.

"Look, this is the star map that we have compiled from several domestic observatories, this is 5:27, this is the time period after that, and this one, it is before 5:27. ”

"What's wrong with these?"

Many scientists asked in bewilderment. Not all the scientists present were asking this question, because some experts who knew a little about astrophysics were already looking at the star map and lost their thoughts.

"Yes, of course there is a difference!"

"Look at these panoramic photos of the universe around 5:27, what are the characteristics of these bright stars?"

Switching between the photos one by one, everyone saw that the stars were moving slowly between the front and back photos, but by 5:27, all the stars were ...... The stars in the universe jumped forward a certain distance at the same time, and then began to move slowly and regularly.

The scientists present let out an "ahh

"Dr. Li, why did the stars in the star map suddenly jump forward around 5:27 a.m.? Could it be due to the error caused by the equipment? I heard that the 65-meter radio telescope at your Sheshan base has just been installed and debugged this year, could there be anything that hasn't been set up?"

Practice brings out the truth, even Professor Wang, who questioned Li Hewen just now, looked at the screen in confusion at this time.

Li Hewen shook his head and said: "I also hope that it is because of the equipment, at least that case does not violate the rules of academics, but the result is unfortunately, it is not the reason for the equipment." ”

"After the abnormal changes in the star map, our Sheshan base immediately contacted the base in Miyun, Beijing, Kunming, Yunnan Province, and Urumqi in the northwest. ”

"These data were later summarized and sent to the headquarters of the National Astronomical Observatory in Beijing, and the follow-up data was processed, and the results have been released. In addition, the Shanghai Observatory serves as a joint testing platform for the world's VLBI program, and its data analysis center can also see the data of several other major radio observations in the world. Almost all the institutions in the world that have the ability to observe the star map have discovered the star map changes that occurred at that moment. ”

"After the analysis of these data by supercomputers and the comparison of the results of the two star maps before and after 5:27, they finally accurately came to a conclusion with a general consensus: the entire universe except our solar system has inexplicably jumped forward by thirteen hours!"

"That is, the region of our solar system is correspondingly thirteen hours less? What evidence is there to prove your judgment?"

Gao Xiang asked with a frown.

This will be a spectacle of physics, and what impact will it have on traditional astrophysics?

"Yes!"

Li Hewen replied in the affirmative.

"By comparing the data of two star maps before and after the target time point, and using the method of interferometry of the very long baselines of multiple large radio telescopes, we have found the critical margin of leap and non-leap from the massive astronomical data, and the Kuiper belt in the outer solar system happens to be in this critical zone. ”

Gao Xiang quickly understood, and said, "In other words, the Kuiper Belt is divided into two, the inner layer is the same as the state of motion of our solar system, while the outer layer is the same as the state of motion of all stars in the entire universe, and there is a time gap of thirteen hours between the two?"

"Yes, after discussions with international astronomical experts, we believe that it is not so much that stars outside the solar system leap by thirteen hours, but that there is a mysterious force controlling the solar system...... At 5:27 p.m. on September 5, there was a thirteen-hour pause! From an energetic point of view, this is much easier. ”

Everyone present let out a sigh, and they looked at each other.

"We have an even more obvious observational evidence for this speculation!"

"What?"

"Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation!" (to be continued......)
