Chapter 11: Strange Spaceships!

"Hello everyone, I'm Alpha Rimbaud and I'm from Tesla Research."

The speaker was a young man in his early 20s. He saw so many people in the audience, a little timid, and looked a little nervous.

"Today, I would like to present to you the results of my research, the research on the vacuum zero point energy, quantum fluctuation and conservation of energy of the Noah spacecraft......"

This young man may be a little inexperienced, and as soon as he comes up, he talks about quantum theory, which makes people confused.

He kept playing PPTs, changing various calculus formulas, and saying a lot of things that only physicists could understand, and the others were simply confused.

However, the people below are still very well cultivated, and if they don't understand, they still sit and quietly look at this new star in the scientific world (pretending to be forced).

When Rimbaud finished, there was silence below, and no one asked him any questions.

"Uh...... Do you have any questions? He felt as if there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so he could only stand on the stage awkwardly.

Of course, the experienced Dr. Felix knew what Ranpo had done, and a great scientist still had to take care of the juniors in the institute as much as possible. Although Felix had already read Rimbaud's papers.

He stood up from his position and asked encouragingly, "Mr. Rimbaud, can you tell me how you found out about this problem?" Please try to be as straightforward as possible. ”

As if talking about Rimbaud's proudest part, his expression began to grow confident. "As you know, the mass of the Noah spacecraft is conserved, and no matter how many things are put into it, from the outside, its mass is the same."

"It's amazing and it's a fact, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to push something massive with hundreds of millions of tons, even a nuclear bomb with a gigawatt yield."

"Yes, it does." The person at the bottom nodded, this has always been something that many scientists do not understand.

"There is reason to think that extraterrestrial civilizations have hidden this part of the mass in a way that we don't know about, maybe space science or other technology...... However, this quality is not gone, but hidden, because the people in us are still alive, and this part of the quality is real and has not been lost. ”

"So, I have an idea, since this ship is so magical, is energy conserved? Does the law of conservation of energy apply to this spaceship? ”

"The mass of the spacecraft is constant at 1.03 million tons, and we have almost billions of tons of stuff in it, so will it cause the energy to be not conserved?" Rimbaud said on stage.

"Dr. Rimbaud, could you please explain why loading something in a spaceship causes energy to be not conserved?" Someone asked, and they began to be curious about Rimbaud's research.

Dr. Rimbaud immediately explained: "According to the kinetic energy formula under macroscopic low velocity conditions: E=(1/2)mv^2, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to its mass and proportional to the square of the velocity, so the question is, in the interior of the spacecraft, do we have kinetic energy for billions of tons of mass? ”

"Everyone knows that our spacecraft has a speed of about 28km/s, so do the people in our spacecraft have the same speed?"

"If we don't have velocity, then the kinetic energy is zero, and the energy is still conserved."

"If we have the same speed as the spacecraft, then where does the kinetic energy come from with billions of tons of matter, such a high speed? Who gives us kinetic energy?

Our nuclear bomb engine or chemical engine simply can't provide such a high level of kinetic energy, and this energy comes out of thin air? Is energy really conserved in a spaceship? ”

In the midst of a series of questions, the crowd was pensive, nervous, and panicked. The question is obvious, and it can be said to be very simple, if the things inside the spaceship have kinetic energy, then where does the energy come from?

Could it be that the theorem of conservation of energy was overturned at this moment?

A young scientist who is only 22 years old, at this moment, began to challenge the most classic theorem in physics - the theorem of conservation of energy!

Energy is neither created nor disappeared out of thin air, it simply transforms from one form to another, or from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains the same.

The law of conservation of energy is one of the universal fundamental laws of nature, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, which is the foundation of the entire scientific edifice.

If he succeeds, then the edifice of science will fall to the top, the entire history of science will be rewritten, all science and technology will become unreliable, and a large number of papers will be reduced to waste paper.

The human civilization built on this edifice of science and technology will be in ruins......

The faces of all present turned pale, and an incomparable fear appeared in their hearts. If the law of conservation of energy used from small to large is really wrong, what will it do?

Humans simply can't imagine it......

The law of conservation of energy must not be overturned!

"So what's the speed of what's inside our ship? Zero? Or do you have the same speed as a spaceship? One of the scientists below asked, his tone trembling slightly, apparently extremely unsettled.

"I'm sorry...... After testing, we were able to move at the same speed as the ship. Rimbaud said.

"At first, I was also shocked that energy was not conserved?! Of course, like everyone else, I believe in the law of non-conservation of energy...... But we must find an explanation for this phenomenon.

Since the kinetic energy of the material inside the spacecraft cannot be given by the nuclear bomb engine, either the energy is generated out of thin air, or, an unknown powerful energy source that we have not found, gives this part of the kinetic energy. ”

When the people at the bottom heard this, they instantly made an uproar, and people talked about it, if the energy is still conserved, people will easily accept it, and the energy is conserved...... Rimbaud's words have aroused the curiosity of many people, where does this energy come from? What the hell is that powerful energy source?

Rimbaud put together a bunch of facts to prove his point, "I think there's a factual basis for the fact that our internal speed is the same as the outside of the ship.

First, we walked from the inside to the outside of the spacecraft without developing relative motion with the ship, indicating that our speed, both in size and direction, was highly consistent with the ship. ”

"If our speed is zero, as soon as we go outside the spaceship, we will be left behind in an instant because of the inconsistent speed. However, this did not happen, so our speed was the same as that of the ship. ”

"Of course, I also did another experiment, according to the relativistic effect, the velocity of an object with velocity will slow down the flow of time, which is called the clock slow effect. I placed two cesium atomic clocks inside and outside the spacecraft at the same time, and after a while, I found that the atomic clocks showed exactly the same time.

This shows that the speed inside and outside the spacecraft is the same, and we are also subject to relativistic effects inside the spacecraft. ”

Many people nodded, and these two facts showed that the matter inside did have speed, and it was the same as that of a spaceship.

"In that case, Dr. Rimbaud, where does the kinetic energy of the objects inside the ship come from?" One scientist couldn't help but ask.

"I think that our kinetic energy comes from the vacuum zero point energy. We borrowed energy from a vacuum using quantum fluctuations......"

Quantum fluctuation refers to the fact that the uncertainty principle allows a small amount of energy to be randomly generated in a completely empty space (pure space), provided that the energy disappears again in a short period of time. The greater the energy generated, the shorter the duration of that energy and vice versa.

Quantum fluctuations seem to violate the law of conservation of energy, but this fluctuation occurs anywhere in space, and the energy exists for a very short time, and when the time comes, it disappears, so on a large scale, the law of conservation of energy is not broken.

"But now, this part of the energy has become people's kinetic energy, and the energy seems to be generated for no reason, but its essence comes from the vacuum zero point energy ......"

Those who can't understand can't understand it at all, but those who can understand it suddenly sigh, what a god-like technology!

(It may be a bit brain-burning, but it's also a must for science fiction, and there isn't much content, so it will pass soon...... )
