Chapter 222: The Universe in Protons
Across a beautiful arc, a plane stopped steadily at Cwantland International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland, and under a brief mechanical greeting, Xiao Li followed his bodyguard down from the airport. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Welcome, dear Shaw, I'm Illettitato of CERN." A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a blue plaid shirt greeted him with a smile, "I, Jin, welcome you on behalf of all CERN members. ”
"Thank you for your hospitality, Professor Illettitato."
Professor Irettitato is not only a professor in Bern, Switzerland, but also a member of CERN, who once became famous and sensational all over the world for his discovery of neutrinos at the speed of light, but unfortunately, in subsequent tests, it was proved that his observations were wrong, that there was a very small error in the process of accurate measurement of the instrument, and it was this mistake that led to the inaccuracy of the measurement results, and then Irettitato resigned.
It took three years for Irettitato to return to CERN.
Professor Illettitato invited Xiao Li into his car and took the initiative to be a driver for Xiao Li, and in the process of being a driver, Illettitato took the initiative to talk to Xiao Li, "Xiao, I heard that you came here this time to preside over the proton impact experiment?" ”
"Nope." Xiao Li shook his head, "I'm not here to preside over the proton impact experiment, I just came up with an idea and then came to visit." ”
The particle impact experiment is not simple, it involves the cooperation of tens of thousands of people, and each impact experiment will have the cooperation of the local government, otherwise the power required to start the particle accelerator alone will be enough to cause a large-scale power outage in Geneva.
Having never conducted a collision experiment, he was simply not fit to do all aspects of such regulation.
"Ideas? Is it a proton impact? ”
"Well, proton impact simulates the Big Bang to create new particles."
Squeak!
As soon as Professor Irettitato stepped on the brakes, the car came to a slam stop, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Li with wide eyes, "New particles? You say make new particles? ”
"Uh......."
Xiao Li only realized at this time that he had leaked his mouth for a while.
His report to CERN was to conduct proton collision experiments, record data from proton collision experiments, and explore microscopic particles, and the results tell the real purpose here.
"Actually, ......." Xiao Li's eyes rolled, and he was about to open his mouth when he saw several of his bodyguards quickly come to the car window and knock on the window, Xiao Li rolled down the window and shook his head at the bodyguard, "It's okay, I was just exploring some ideas and conjectures of particles with Professor Irettitato, he was excited." ”
"Really?" The bodyguard glanced at Irettitato, looked inside the car carefully, and made sure there was no threat before retreating, "Sorry to disturb." ”
"Actually, I'm just an idea." Xiao Li continued the topic just now, "According to conjecture, at the beginning of the Big Bang, matter expanded to the surroundings in the form of elementary particles, and in this process, the temperature and density continued to decrease, and with the decrease and cooling of temperature, atoms, molecules, and atomic nuclei were gradually formed and compounded into gases, giving birth to nebulae, and nebulae further formed various galaxies, stars, etc., and finally formed the universe we see. ”
"According to the prediction of the Standard Model, there are a total of 61 kinds of particles in the universe where we live, but so far, only 60 kinds of particles have been discovered.
Professor Irettitato was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Because some parameters are problematic. ”
"But the members who participated in the study all voted in confidence."
CERN has a mechanism whereby participating members vote on the results of a CERN test that differs from the theory.
There are two types of voting, one is a vote of confidence and the other is a vote of no confidence.
When there is a majority of no confidence, the experiment will be restarted, and if there is a majority of votes of confidence, the experiment will not be restarted.
Professor Illettitato's neutrino faster-than-light experiment was restarted because the majority of the members voted no confidence, and Professor Irettitato was exposed and resigned after just a month.
There were some slight differences between the discovery of the God particle and the prediction of the Standard Model, but all members voted in confidence, so the results were announced, and although out of an abundance of caution, CERN used some questionable and uncertain words in the experimental report to describe it, but it still made him very uncomfortable.
Again, there are data differences, one that conflicts with the theory of relativity, and the other that conflicts with the Standard Model, but the results are two very different results.
He felt uncomfortable.
"Just because you have a vote of confidence doesn't mean you won't make mistakes...... Of course, my conjecture has nothing to do with this. Xiao Li said: "Scientists generally believe that the God particle was born at the beginning of the Big Bang, but the God particle disappeared again...... At this time, I had an idea, that is, is there any other particle besides the God particle? ”
"I know it's ridiculous, and there is no place for it in the 61 particles predicted by the standard, but the more I think about it, the more I want to prove it."
"So I approached CERN and wanted to do a test to prove that even if it proved that the idea was false, wrong, and whimsical, I would not regret it...... Actually, if it weren't for the fact that my Super Higgs Particle Factory hadn't been built and couldn't be put into use, I would have conducted this experiment in my own Super Higgs Particle Factory. ”
"You ...... idea." Irettitato thought for a moment, and he realized that he didn't know what words to use to describe Xiao Li's thoughts.
Guess that there was more than one God particle that disappeared at the beginning of the Big Bang?
What a ridiculous conjecture.
The Standard Model predicts 61 particles, except for one God particle that needs more data to support, the other particles have been discovered, that is, the Standard Model does not leave a place for other particles at all, guessing a new particle that the Standard Model does not leave a place for, is he challenging the Standard Model? It's courageous.
"I think I can give it a try......." Irettitato spoke.
He wanted to say words like ridiculous, impossible, absolutely impossible, but he shut his mouth at the thought of the great achievement of the man standing in front of him.
The greatest scientist of the century seems qualified to challenge the Standard Model, even if his conjectures have not been proven.
"Science itself is about making conjectures and then confirming them...... How do you know if it's true or fake without confirming it? If the current physical theories could explain the entire universe, then there would not be so many unknowns. ”
"And in the past, was there less 'truth' that was overthrown? Don't worry, guess boldly, you have the qualifications. ”
Xiao Li smiled and didn't speak.
Different people guess the results are different.
The average physics enthusiast speculates about a particle that is outside the Standard Model, and the only discussions they get without confirmation are 'another crazy one', 'go back and read the Standard Model carefully', 'Your conjecture has too many points, I don't even know how to complain'.
But it's a different story with another person.
For example, him.
The greatest genius scientists of this century, scientists comparable to Einstein and Newton, the only scientists who could surpass them, under a series of glories and halos, even if this conjecture is just a conjecture and has not been confirmed, is it a new conjecture? Expecting to confirm', 'Is this the rhythm that is going to overturn the Standard Model?' ''There's a lot of truth to it.''
Even Professor Illettitato's attitude towards him was one of encouragement rather than subconscious denial.
Driving to the location of the Large Hadron Collider, Xiao Li finally saw the largest particle accelerator on the earth.
The acceleration pipeline that grows to the end of sight, all kinds of high-precision mechanical instruments are applied to it, and the large main control computer controls the entire huge experiment.
"Do you want to start a proton impact experiment?"
Dr. Hull, the head of CERN, asked Xiao Li.
"Let's get started!"
"Get started right away."
As soon as the order was given, the entire Large Hadron Collider was immediately in motion, and the powerful energy began to push the proton to accelerate, faster and faster, faster and faster, and then slammed into the other proton.
In an instant, a Big Bang was born and then disappeared again, and before it disappeared, space-time bent and wormholes were born, but the end result was evaporation and everything was calm.
It's over.
The experiment is over, but the follow-up is far from over, because this seemingly short experiment has generated a large amount of data that needs to be analyzed by scientists.
After analysis, they can use the data to measure the micro domain.
All the scientists are busy, everyone is analyzing data, this is what they do best, in the past, they have conducted particle impact experiments no less than ten times, and they have long been familiar with the analysis of various data.
And Xiao Li was not idle.
He had already conducted proton impact experiments and was well aware of all kinds of data, and he easily called up the space-time particles tested during the proton impact experiment.
"Consistent with the results of the experiments reached by scientists in "Pacific Rim", proton impacts do indeed produce space-time particles...... So bring up this data now...... Wait a minute! ”
Xiao Li stopped.
He stared at the data displayed by the computer with wide eyes, rubbed and rubbed it, and made sure that he was not mistaken, "System, is there a mistake in your data?" ”
"The preliminary diagnosis of each instrument is working normally, and the probability of error is 0.01%." The system responds.
"But it can't be."
Xiao Li looked at the data displayed by the computer, and his entire brain was filled with 'impossible', "But this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can such an image appear in the proton." ”
In the computer, after the proton impact and before the Big Bang, information was transmitted in this instant, about one ten-thousandth of a second.
That's a ring.
Like a ring with a head at the end, but the ring is not closed, there is a gap at the top of it, and there is a bright spot in the center of the ring, like the sun.
It's a sight.
It's an ordinary sight, but it's very unusual, because it happened at the wrong time and place.
How could a collision between protons emit such information?
"What can't be?" Dr. Hull, who heard Xiao Li's muttering, walked over, and he saw the image displayed in the computer at a glance, and then the whole person was stunned.
How does a proton impact appear in an image?
Where does the information of this image come from?
"System, check the instruments." He suspected that the instrument was wrong, as CERN had encountered such problems in the past.
It has happened many times that misleading scientists have been caused by faulty instruments.
So his first reaction was that the machine was out of order.
"According to the results of the overhaul, the machine did not fail, and this is indeed the scene transmitted from the impact of the protons." The system replied.
"Open...... Are you kidding. Dr. Hull stammered.
If this is true, then what does it mean? It means that there is a world in protons, and human cognition of protons has been wrong, and even human cognition of the microscopic realm has been wrong.
"System, you check again."
The system began to perform a self-test, but the result of the self-test was that there was no problem with the machine, and the picture was indeed transmitted from the proton impact.
After the two protons collided, before the big bang was made, information radiated from inside.
"Is it possible that there is something wonderful in the protons?" Xiao Li calmed down, and he began to put forward his own conjectures about this picture and this information, "For example, there is a planet, a star, and a galaxy in the proton...... Or even a universe. ”
"A universe in a microcosm - a microcosm."
Xiao Li continued: "For example, there is a microcosm inside the proton, which is hidden inside the proton, but as the two protons collide with each other, that microcosm explodes. ”
Xiao Li raised his hand, and then unfolded, "Boom, this microcosm exploded, that's why we have the simulated universe Big Bang we saw...... Of course, since the total mass of this microscopic universe is very small, the total energy of the Big Bang produced is also very small, and it will not have any effect on the macroscopic universe at all. ”
