Chapter 538: The Discovery of Negative Matter

In the Lost Land of Red Dwarfs, the first space tunnel to connect the star systems is the first thing that is put on the agenda to connect the star systems of hope. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the core work of the whole construction project is to build small black holes. Because the growth of a small black hole requires the devouring of a large amount of interstellar matter, Yuan Haochen even ordered the only dwarf planet in the red dwarf galaxy to be turned into "feed", plus an entire asteroid belt of interstellar matter, before finally feeding the small black hole.

One can imagine how terrifying the matter that black holes that eventually grow into billions of solar masses will have to swallow up the matter.

However, all these tasks are in charge of Tesla and Yu Liang, and Yuan Haochen does not have to worry about specific construction projects, he is only responsible for researching cutting-edge scientific theories, giving technical guidance, and determining strategic directions.

......

This day was an important day for Yuan Haochen, because he finally figured out a problem that had been bothering him for a long, long time.

"It's really surprising that our in-depth research on antimatter has such unexpected gains." Yuan Haochen couldn't help but look at the bookmark kilometer-long superparticle collider, and then repeatedly checked the latest experimental data in the laboratory, and said with a happy face.

"Boss, how should these substances be described?" Wall, the artificial intelligence assisting in the calculation, asked with interest.

"These substances should be the ideas once put forward by the scientific community - negative matter!" After a little thought, Yuan continued to describe, "Moreover, the improvement of relevant theories will even allow us to further grasp the mysterious dark matter. ”

"With dark matter technology, can I have the ability to break away from the computer?" Hearing this, Vali's phantom looked very pleasantly surprised, and he still firmly remembered the details of Artificial Intelligence No. 8 that Yuan Haochen had described to him.

"Although there is still a certain gap, you are also right to say so." Yuan Haochen replied with a chuckle.

In the universe, all visible matter around us, without exception, has mass, to be precise, positive mass (some particles are defined as having no mass, such as photons).

Matter of positive mass, if we give them energy, or do work on it, we can speed up these substances. And, the more energy, the faster it is. Among them, there are positive matter, as well as antimatter, although they have opposite charges, they all have positive mass.

Negative matter, on the other hand, is a completely new substance, and the fundamental difference from positive mass matter is that its mass is negative.

"Boss, the universe is really wonderful, there is a substance with a negative mass." WALL-E was already proficient at simulating a tone of surprise, and his face even showed a look of sudden realization.

"As early as the age of the earth, human scientists have discovered three types of matter, that is, what we know as positive matter, antimatter and dark matter." Yuan Haochen once again ordered the Super Particle Collider to be activated, and explained, "Positive matter is the matter that we can easily contact in the conventional universe, and antimatter is an extension of antiparticles. ”

This time, Hara accidentally discovered negative matter through the study of antimatter, and at the same time deduced the theoretical model of dark matter.

Negative matter has very strange physical properties, and under normal circumstances, people are not even aware of its existence. Because its mass is negative, in normal cosmic space, negative matter and positive matter can annihilate each other and return to zero together. For example, 50 grams of iron can react with -50 grams of negative iron, and both disappear into the universe together.

This situation is similar to the annihilation of positive matter and antimatter, but it is significantly different, such as the fact that no energy is produced and no form of radiation is emitted during the entire annihilation reaction.

From the perspective of conservation of mass and energy, although the mass changes within the range of negative matter influence, from a more macroscopic perspective, that is, the entire universe, the mass is always conserved.

"Like antimatter, negative matter is difficult to exist stably in the universe." Hara continued, "We cannot find in the universe, or in large quantities, the negative matter that exists in nature, because they are always preparing for the annihilation ...... with the positive matter."

"Do you mean that we can only make negative matter by experimental means?" Vali asked with interest.

"I'm afraid that for a long time, we will only be able to produce a very small amount of negative matter from the laboratory." Yuan Haochen was blunt.

In the experiment just conducted, they produced a trace amount of negative matter. When the negative material was collected and extracted separately, the quality of the original experimental material actually increased.

Yes, it is true that the quality has risen. This is really incredible, because in a consumable experiment, the quality of consumables has always decreased, and in this experiment, there has been a sky-defying increase.

Imagine eating a bowl of rice, only to find that the bowl is eating more and more.

"Boss, this is still a bit absurd to imagine, since the total amount of matter in the independent universe is constant, then, let's say we make a negative kilogram of negative matter, and then use them to carry out an annihilation reaction with positive matter. Does that mean that the total amount of matter in the universe has decreased by one kilogram? Vali asked, confused.

"That's because you ignore the overall situation and only consider the problem from a part, and there will be an omission of consideration." Yuan Haochen shook his head and replied, "On the large space-time scale of the complete universe, the total amount of matter is always conserved. ”

"Because, when we make a kilogram of negative matter, we have already obtained a kilogram of positive matter at the same time. As a result, the total mass of the negative material produced by the negative one kilogram is always zero, regardless of whether it eventually annihilates the positive matter or remains relatively independent of the other kilogram of positive matter. ”

"Boss, I understand, so no matter when and where we create negative matter, and no matter where these negative substances disappear, we will not break the law of conservation of mass and energy." Vali hurriedly said that he had learned something new.

"Yes, negative matter cannot be stored stably for a long time, and in a very short period of time, it will undergo an annihilation reaction, because positive matter is always everywhere. Regardless of whether the created antimatter is eventually annihilated by the associated positive matter or with the positive matter anywhere else in the universe, after it is created, the annihilation will be its final result. Yuan Haochen made a more detailed elaboration.

"The discovery of negative matter has really opened an unknown door for human civilization, and behind this door, there are both worries and surprises......"

Yuan Haochen suddenly said with deep emotion, and at the same time, some thoughts and ideas quickly flashed through his mind.
