Chapter 259, What the Universe Consists of
The huge Xinghan Science Research Institute, it is composed of many huge space cities, each of which is affiliated to a certain branch, such as the Physics Branch, the Chemistry Branch, the Academy of Astronomical Sciences, the Super Energy Physics Branch, the Energy Research Institute, the Biological Science Research Institute, and so on.
The more science and technology develop to the top, the more detailed it is, and the large and small disciplines are no longer known how much they are subdivided, and the settings here are all large branches under the Xinghan Academy of Science, and the real small branches, research institutes, laboratories, etc., are all over every corner of the entire Xinghan.
Here, at the Academy of Astronomical Sciences, a large number of cosmic astronomical scientists are gathered in a conference room, and everyone seems to be discussing something.
"The universe is so big that the farthest distance we can observe is 100 billion light-years, which means that the age of the universe is about 100 billion years."
In the middle of the room, a young scientist stood up and spoke.
It is only possible to observe the distance of 100 billion light years, which is not that Xinghan's cosmic astronomical science detection methods have not made any progress, you must know that in the 21st century, when human beings are still on the earth, human beings have been able to observe a distance of about 100 billion light years.
The real reason is because the age of the universe is only about 100 billion years, because the propagation of light is the speed of light, and the stellar light here in the cosmic void 100 billion light years away has not been transmitted at all, so it can only observe the distance of about 100 billion light years, and then infer that the age of the universe has been about 100 billion years.
This inference is completely different from the traditional Big Bang theory, because according to the traditional Big Bang theory, the universe was formed by the explosion of the cosmic singularity, and scientists previously deduced that the age of the universe was about 15 billion years.
15 billion years and 100 billion years, these two numbers are very different, but no matter which number it is, it is an incomparably long age and a long number for the current Xinghan.
"According to the information we have so far, the universe is actually a huge ball."
While the scientists are discussing, they are also using virtual image technology to simulate the structure of the universe.
"The universe is constantly expanding, it is constantly devouring matter outside the universe and then growing and expanding itself, so we can also infer that the universe also has a lifespan, but its lifespan is very long, so long that its lifespan may be 1 trillion years, 10 trillion years, but in any case, since the universe has a lifespan, then sooner or later, the universe will also have an extinction day."
"If we were to determine the position of our galaxy in the interstellar universe, I think one way would be feasible, and that would be to observe the distance between galaxies in the void of the universe around our galaxy."
"According to the theory and theory of the growth of the universe, the universe is constantly expanding and expanding, and the result that we can observe now is that the stars in the universe are constantly redshifting from each other, and the distance is getting farther and farther away."
"So we can deduce that at the edge of the universe, the farther away the galaxies are, and the closer they are to the center of the universe, the closer the galaxies are to each other."
"The closer to the center of the Milky Way, the closer the stars are, the denser they are, and the denser they are, the denser the matter in the universe."
"If you put it into the entire universe, it can be inferred in this way, so we can easily find the direction to the center of the universe."
"I feel that the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy is the direction to the center of the universe based on the information we have now, and if we can explore the entire local group of galaxies and grasp the information of the entire local group of galaxies, we can also infer the size of the universe."
Cosmic astronomers express their opinions to each other, or follow someone's train of thought to constantly deduce and discuss, if it is a wrong inference, everyone can easily find each other's untenable, but some inferences still sound very reasonable, and can also find some theories to support.
Nan Junpeng sat in the corner of the conference room, he had been listening quietly, he was very young, and now he was only over 100 years old, this age is placed in today's Xinghan, especially here in the General Institute of Xinghan Science and Technology, it is definitely a proper sprout.
With the explosion of the Xinghan population, all kinds of talents are also constantly blowing out, which makes it more and more difficult to become an academician of the Xinghan Academy of Science, so that this age is also rising.
More than 10,000 years ago, the age of becoming an academician of the Xinghan Academy of Science was only less than 300 years old, and the average age was only 40 years old when Xinghan was founded.
But now, the average age of becoming an academician has exceeded 1,000 years old, and Nan Junpeng became an academician of the Xinghan Academy of Science at the age of just over 100, which shows that he is a real demon and genius.
Most of his age are still studying with their mentors, and the more technology develops, the more things need to be learned.
Nan Junpeng is a genius scientist in the new generation, and he is also a relatively versatile scientist, with a wide range of interests, not only a cosmic astronomical scientist, but also in the two fields of physics and biology, he also won the title of academician of the Xinghan Academy of Science, which is simply a demon.
What's even more incredible is that he is very talented in cultivation, he has already cultivated to the realm of a grandmaster at a young age, and even hopes to break the record of the youngest celestial master in history.
After reading Nan Junpeng's resume, you will have to sigh, genius really exists, he is like the moon in the night sky, so dazzling, so dazzling, so that all the stars become dim, as for the dark night, it is its background wall.
"What the hell is the universe?"
"And what is it made of?"
Nan Junpeng fell into deep thought, he has been very quiet since he was a child, he likes to think about some strange things, and at this time, listening to other people discussing the things of the universe, he also thinks in his mind.
"Is the universe the same as us human beings, it is also a life in itself, but the life of the universe is too big, too big."
"It's like we humans are incomparably huge for the bacteria in our human bodies and so on."
Nan Junpeng's mind suddenly flashed with an exciting hypothesis, assuming that the universe is a huge life, and that we humans and countless civilized races are just bacteria living in this huge life in the universe, and may not even be bacteria.
"If the universe is a vast life, then what is it made of?"
"Interstellar dust, cosmic matter?"
"These are all things that we can observe, and this may also be superficial, because we humans are so small, so we simply can't observe the whole universe from a big level and perspective."
"But if the universe is a living being, is it made up of DNA, just like life as we know it now?"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he vaguely felt that this seemed to be a huge discovery and an exciting breakthrough.
"Do you think the universe will be a life?"
Nan Junpeng, who had been quiet, suddenly stood up and said to everyone.
Everyone looked at him contemplatively, and when they heard the question, they all frowned: "The universe will be a life?" ”
"You see, the planetary systems, star systems, and local galaxies that we know now ~"
"Isn't this planetary system very similar to the most basic physical structure, this star is a massive nucleus, and the planet is an electron, each with its own orbit."
"If we think of planetary systems as one of the most basic atoms, are they very similar?"
Nan Junpeng's mind moved, and he turned on the virtual image, and pictures were projected in the virtual image.
Everyone couldn't help but nod slightly when they heard Nan Junpeng's words, and it seemed that there was really a little similarity.
"If the universe is a living body, then it has its own DNA, like other life in the universe, DNA is the content of biology, to be precise, it should be the most basic thing that makes up the universe, and this thing may be very likely to be the law or mystery we have been looking for."
"It is the NDA that makes up ordinary life, and what makes up the universe is the law and the mystery."
We all know that in our Chinese Taoist thoughts, we believe that "Tao" is the origin of the universe, and the so-called "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things" means that all things are born, and the movement of all things in the world is determined by "Tao". "The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is the Tao, the name is famous, the name is not the name" shows that the Tao is elusive, and the Tao here can now be understood as a collection of the origin and laws of the universe. ”
"We also know that life is made up of DNA, and DNA is a double helix structure, so is the DNA of the universe the same as the Taoists say, it has one origin evolved into two, then two begot three, and three evolved into everything we observe now."
Nan Junpeng was very excited, he felt as if he had seen the essence of the universe, but the other scientists in the entire conference room were dumbfounded, this Taoist thing had not already been decided, it was idealistic, and there was no theory that could stand to support this point of view.
"We can understand the origin of the universe as the most primitive and original thing that constitutes the universe, and it is divided into two, we can boldly assume that it is time and space, because time and space are the most fundamental things that support the entire universe, as for the evolution of two into three, the evolution of three into other laws and mysteries, etc., this is everything we can observe~"
PS: I think the ancients still had a very high level of understanding of the nature of the universe, and it seems to be more reasonable than the so-called divine creation in the West~
