Chapter 171: Gravitation
A week later, Trunik led four other project team members to the summit of Mount Maunaki on the Big Island in the Hawaiian Islands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mount Maunaki is isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is 2,835 meters above sea level. It is an ideal location for sub-micro, infrared and optical observations, and has the world's most advanced astronomical observation equipment, which makes it an extremely important land base for astronomical observations on Earth.
In addition, another scientific research project, the artificial black hole experiment and application research project, Yuan Haochen has also been handed over to Angelina.
Therefore, in addition to fully grasping and promoting the work of the entire extraterrestrial civilization project team, Yuan Haochen must also spare some time to take into account the theoretical and applied research projects of extraterrestrial artificial gravity fields.
"Goethe, please help me make an appointment with Li Yueqing, Carrey Bai, and Hathaway, and let them come to my office immediately."
At this moment, Yuan Haochen was flipping through the pile of thick materials on the table.
"Okay, wait a minute!" Old Goethe replied.
After Yuan Haochen was promoted to the leader of the extraterrestrial civilization project team, he continued to choose Goethe as his assistant secretary.
Although Goethe is older and slower, Hara doesn't think it's a big deal. After intense work, having an old man as a companion can be regarded as a little more warm.
Li Yueqing, Carrey Bai, and Hathaway are the three project team members who participated in the research project on the theory and application of extraterrestrial artificial gravity fields.
Li Yueqing is one of the two new members recommended to him by Richard Wang, the new mentor of the science group. Mr. Yuan was very impressed by Mr. Li, a burly young scientist with short hair, a cheerful personality who always looked energetic, and a scientist of Chinese nationality.
Carrey Bai is one of the six people selected by Dean Frank for Yuan Chen, he is a British scientist with a handsome appearance, and he has been working in the 10th project team of the Institute of Astrophysics, which is a member with rich work experience.
Hathaway is another new member recommended by King Richard, she is a very quiet woman, although she looks very ordinary, but she has a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, bright as stars. In addition, Hathaway's deepest impression on Hara is that her eyebrows have always revealed a kind of perseverance beyond her years.
About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived at Yuan Chen's office.
"I've read the research you've put together." Yuan Haochen patted the thick material on the table, and then continued, "These are all the research and observation reports I have collected so far on the artificial gravity device on the [Source of Creation]. I hope it will be helpful to your research work. ”
"Also, don't stay in your own lab all the time, go to the super lab in the core area of the base to see the real alien technology!"
"Thank you, Team Leader." The three of them replied in unison.
Although the earth's civilization now has a ready-made extraterrestrial artificial gravity system that can be used as a reference and imitation object, the actual situation is not as optimistic as imagined.
Because the scientists on Earth have found that due to the huge gap between the scientific and technological levels of the two civilizations, it is quite difficult for us to deeply understand the science and technology of extraterrestrial civilizations.
To give an exaggerated example, if we give a maggot in a manure pit an airplane, the maggot will certainly not be able to understand the science behind the plane.
Of course, it is a bit chilling to describe humans as maggots in a manure pit, and our level of technology is not as bad as we think, but this example is an exaggerated description of the problem facing geoscientists today.
Yuan Haochen nodded and continued: "If we want to unify the four fundamental forces of nature (gravitational force, electromagnetic interaction force, weak interaction force, and strong interaction force), we must first understand these four fundamental forces and find the origin of the unity of all forces. Today, I would like to first learn about the research direction and general ideas of the three of you. ”
The first to express his opinion was Li Yueqing, a member of the Chinese nationality, who said: "I want to study the working principle of the extraterrestrial artificial gravitational field from the theoretical description of gravity in general relativity. Albert Einstein once explained gravity in terms of the geometric properties of matter affecting space, and in the image he described, the matter that pervades space causes space to bend, and the curved space determines the motion of particles. ”
For a hundred years, many scientists have believed that the cause of gravity comes from the curvature of space, and it is the mass that causes the bending of space, and the movement is carried out along the curved space, which makes people "think" that they are governed by some kind of gravitational force. It's not gravity, it's actually a curved space.
"The theory of space-time bending is unique and puzzling, how does the existence of matter bend space-time? And how does gravity occur? How do they interact? These are the challenges you will encounter in your research direction. Yuan Haochen added very seriously.
"My theoretical conjecture is that gravity is the extension of the electromagnetic force between protons and electrons. I will use this direction to demonstrate how the extraterrestrial artificial gravitational field works, and try to convert between fundamental forces. ”
The second to express his opinion was Carrey Bai, who seemed confident in his theoretical speculation.
The road is simple, and nature always uses the simplest law to compose itself. -- This is a generally accepted view in the scientific community.
Scientists believe that the movement of electrons outside the nucleus of matter is not chaotic, but regular.
As we all know, an atom is composed of an atomic nucleus and an extranuclear electron that rotates around the nucleus, and the nucleus (proton) has a positive charge, and the electrons have a negative charge, and the positive and negative charges attract each other to have the electrons rotate around the nucleus at high speed.
The gravitational pull of the nucleus on the electron does not suddenly disappear when it reaches the edge of the atom.
The gravitational pull of the proton on the electron should be boundless, it goes far beyond the atom and beyond the object.
There is no reason why this infinite action should be limited to the confinement of an atom.
Some scientists have questioned this idea: why is there no electron scramble when the electromagnetic force of all atomic nuclei is extended outward, and all the gravitational pull of protons is extended outward?
Some scientists explain that this is because the outer electrons of neighboring atoms are far apart, and the gravitational pull is greatly reduced.
"Ha, this theory directly deprives gravity of its important position as a fundamental force." Yuan Haochen continued with a smile, "But this theory needs a large number of reliable experimental results as a basis, and no one in the scientific community can do this yet. ”
"I'll try to make a breakthrough from that angle." Carrey replied confidently.
"Well, be bold and testify, it's not uncommon for science to fail on its way. It is only through a series of explorations, failures, successes, explorations, failures, and successes, and the continuous discovery and resolution of contradictions that we can truly understand and approach the true image of the universe. ”
In the end, the new member Hathaway looked apologetic, and whispered a little nervously: "I'm sorry, my idea is not mature enough, and I will report back to you after continuing to verify it." ”
"It's okay, Hathaway, don't worry, I suggest you analyze and observe the extraterrestrial artificial gravity device more, and it will definitely be rewarding." Yuan knew that this work would definitely not be done overnight, so she was not surprised by this and gave her some advice. (To be continued.) )
