Chapter 102: Tachyon Technology
"Does the tachyon really exist? Are there really tachyon communicators, detectors?! "This discovery is like a bombshell dropped in a pond.
It's hard not to be excited, but if humans really discovered tachyons, it would be a theoretical ...... Huge change!
Truly huge!
At its simplest, use tachyons...... Faster-than-light means of detection and communication can be realized. And the speed formula of the tachyon is very wonderful, the lower the energy, the higher the speed, the lower the speed, theoretically the speed of light is the lower limit, and the upper limit is ...... Infinity!
Yes, the speed of light is only the lower limit. Any low-energy tachyon is far faster than the speed of light!
So, what does infinite detection speed mean?
Many military figures squinted their eyes and looked at the ceiling, generating a lot of fantasies.
Having experienced a real starry sky war, everyone knows clearly: information is everything in space warfare.
Faster-than-light detection means that information in war can be known in advance, which means that you have already started attacking the other party before others have discovered you!
It is even possible to detect the attack of laser, curvature missiles, and thus intercept them.
Today, one of the best opportunities is in front of people......
One, tachyon communicator!
Is there a ...... in it?
What kind of technology do people want?
"Quiet, quiet!" In just a few moments, military experts have already thought of the metamorphosis of this technology, and they are surging like a tide. Even Xu Yunjin and the others were panting like cows, their eyes were wide like cow eyes, and their whole bodies trembled slightly.
Yu Yifeng had to stand up and slapped the table hard.
"Be quiet!"
But such a roar is of no use at all......
Unlike what military experts think of, the first thing scientists think about is not military, but satisfying their curiosity.
This curiosity, much more intense than nanotechnology, is a real desire to explore the unknown.
Nanotechnology is still mainly biased towards the "technology" side. In fact, it is a constant search for nanodynamic templates, in which the process is difficult and complicated.
Moreover, the nanodynamics template borrows heavily from biotechnology, which is the main reason why interstellar civilizations travel around and collect different biological specimens......
But the field of tachysubon is blank, and it is a completely new kind of "science". People's perception of it only accounts for 0.01 out of 100, and at most they can only speculate some of the most basic conjectures based on some formulas.
"Science" and "technology" are closely related, but there are important differences: science mainly deals with unknown fields, and major breakthroughs are unpredictable; Technology is working in a relatively mature field and can make more accurate planning.
If the tachyon is really discovered, it is tantamount to the first time that "calculus" appeared in this world.
Because it represents the existence of another world: ...... Fast Universe!
Theoretically, in the fast universe, all tachyns are moving at the speed of light, which is the lower limit of the universe. Correspondingly, people's own material universe is called the slow universe, and the speed of light is its upper limit.
If you can really discover the fast universe, this is groundbreaking!
Many theorists trembled with excitement in their pores, and even in the middle of the meeting they derived equations and built models.
Yu Yifeng could only smile helplessly when he saw Dr. Ranbo with an excited face, and Xu Yunjin and other military personnel with a blushing face. Anyway, this kind of meeting is not a particularly formal meeting, so let's make a fuss for a while.
In fact, people have long believed that tachyons, like dark matter, exist in this universe, but people have not discovered it.
But with human thinking, it is really difficult to imagine what a fast cosmic space with matter moving at an infinite speed and the lowest speed is the speed of light......
"It's definitely something harder than nanotechnology...... Alas, such a world is difficult to imagine intuitively, and can only be understood by mathematics. Yu Yifeng heard a physicist complaining in annoyance, and he felt that his IQ was no longer enough.
Think about it, the mass of all matter is imaginary, or it is faster than light, and in such a world, I don't know if there are electrons or atoms...... I don't know how macroscopic matter is composed.
If every point in the body is moving faster than the speed of light, I don't know if it can form life.
However, the existence of the "fast universe" is an important supplement to the current cosmology.
The scientists' thinking is very peculiar, they found a "red apple", a "blue apple", and painstakingly, found a "red pear".
It's good, so they think, why are there "blue apples" but not "blue pears"?
There must be a "blue pear" to keep the symmetry!
Otherwise the world would be too discordant.
This kind of scientific thought is called "symmetry", and people have always believed that nature is "symmetrical", and it is possible to understand nature with the idea of "symmetry". 【1】
However, with the power of human beings, for hundreds of years, no method has been used to discover the existence of tachyons......
It seems that the substance of "tachyon" exists only in conjecture.
Now that a possible outcome is in front of people's eyes, how can they not go crazy ?!
This is already a question of the perfection of the theory of the universe!
It's hard to understand, it doesn't mean it can't be understood, and many people are staring at the purple metal box on the screen...... Their eyes are even starting to change color.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Yu Yifeng spoke out again to maintain order, and at the same time, more people who were calmer also stood up and raised various security factors.
Tachyon research...... Of course, the benefits are enormous.
But then again, people don't dare to bet!
Yu Yifeng really didn't dare to take this risk, pressed that button, and didn't even dare to disassemble it for study.
In the unlikely event that the tachyon detector sends out a signal, humans can neither catch nor intercept it.
If this civilization is targeted, even if the spaceship is faster than the speed of light, humans will not be able to escape. Because of the tachyon, it may be possible to easily detect faster-than-light spacecraft.
This kind of risk is too big and too big.
"But we can't choke on food!" A scientist stood up and said excitedly: "No one knows if this sower civilization exists...... Such a great opportunity, how could we give it up! ”
Yu Yifeng shook his head: "For the sake of safety, we must speculate on the intentions of this sower civilization with the worst mind. We also have to think about the worst-case scenario, everyone calm down first. ”
"All of you here are smart people, you should think in this way, and don't forget where we are now! Who can guarantee that when researching this communicator, the mechanics in it will not be triggered?! ”
After hearing a large number of rebuttals, the group of scientists was quiet for a while.
At the thought of all kinds of security issues, they could only sit down in frustration.
Still, there are many people who are trying to find evidence that the purple box is safe.
Soon, someone stood up and said, "It's just that you can't guess anything special based on these alone, right?" Could it be that if we press this button, the other party will be able to find us and destroy us? ”
"Is there any point in this kind of inducement? Not really! There is no benefit in coming all the way to destroy us! ”
"Think about it, isn't that so?"
