Chapter 215: Super Large Particle Collider (1)

In the entire fleet of immigrants, there are many, many people like Wang Tao, who may have been useless at first, but after arriving in the fleet, they have found a new life of their own, or they have been full of ambition before, and then burst out more in the fleet......

In any case, the new order of the fleet is a completely new stage, and whoever adapts to it will stand out, and on the contrary, will be depressed and eliminated by the torrent of the current era. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether you want it or not, it will come.

……

The migration work is carried out in an orderly manner, and one billion people will leave the old living ships they have lived on for more than a decade and move into new ones with better living conditions, and they will gradually adapt and get used to life in the new living ships.

And so the days went by.

On this day, Zhou Chen visited the Institute of Particle Physics under the Science and Technology Committee.

The Institute of Particle Physics is a research institute specializing in the study of microscopic particles, and they aim to help us better understand the universe in which we live by analyzing the properties of microscopic particles.

To put it simply, it is a place where the origin and rules of all things are studied, and together with the institutes of cosmology and microscopic quantum mechanics, the microscopic scientific research field of the Earth Fleet has been established.

At this time, in a certain void at a distance from the Poseidon base, a huge experimental device was finally assembled in the non-stop labor of countless engineering robots day and night, this is a large-scale, or can only be described as a super-large device, it is presented as a ring, with seven levels of acceleration of small rings in turn, the largest of which is a ring, the diameter of which has reached 3,000 kilometers!

This is the greatest masterpiece in the history of human experiments, the super-large ring particle collider!

In order to make this behemoth work more efficiently, the Institute of Particle Physics has specially equipped it with twenty fusion reaction power stations to provide huge energy consumption!

At the same time, in order to prevent cosmic rays from interfering with it and ensure the authenticity and validity of the experimental data, the outside of the Large Particle Collider is also isolated by thick concrete, steel and lead plates, and in addition, cosmic rays are shielded by a high magnetic flux magnetic field.

People are tireless, but they are always so rigorous and meticulous in their pursuit.

It's all about making the experiment work for real!

In the understanding of nature, human beings have spent several periods in turn, from ancient and ancient times to the awe and worship of God, gradually developed to the active exploration of nature, and then slowly established classical physics, during which if we follow the Western way of thinking, it is to extend the two ideological theories of Bacon and Descartes.

According to Bacon, "Everything is based on the conclusive facts of nature as seen by the eye." Descartes, on the other hand, said, "I think, therefore I am." There are quite some ideological elements of Wang Yangming's psychology.

According to Bacon, scientists need to travel the globe to collect facts until the accumulated facts reveal the laws of nature, from which they can derive the laws of nature.

According to Descartes, scientists only need to stay at home and derive the laws of nature through pure thinking, and they only need to know the basic rules of logic and the knowledge of God's existence.

But in fact, whether it is the empiricists under Bacon's philosophy, such as Faraday, Darwin, Rutherford; or dogmatists under the philosophy of Descartes, such as Pascal, Laplace, Poincaré; Or Newton, who used the pure thinking of Cartesianism and used it to overthrow the Cartesian dogma of the vortex, or Marie Curie, who was essentially a Baconist, who boiled tons of bituminous uranium slag and overthrew the dogma of the indestructibility of the atom.

They are still essentially confined to the framework of an era.

In the first 50 years of the twentieth century, classical physics was greatly challenged, people's understanding of the world began to innovate, the establishment of quantum theory, and the proposal of the theory of relativity, all of which greatly innovated classical physics, so that now, pure empiricism or dogmatism is no longer easy to explain the world alone.

Until now, in the opinion of Zhou Chen and the top scientists of the fleet, with the deepening of the development of physics, it is extremely difficult to reproduce the effect of "earth-shattering" in the general sense of physics.

At the beginning, Newtonian mechanics allowed people to understand the existence of modern physical rules and the basic laws of motion from a wilderness.

Einstein's theory of relativity broke people's existing concept of time and space and understood the relativity of time and space.

Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, violently shatters people's understanding of the real world, tearing down the completed edifice of physics and building new ones from the ashes.

Nowadays, Einstein's spatio-temporal dynamics equations, Professor Yang Zhenning's "Yang-Mills equations" of quantum mechanical gauge fields, and the Higgs mechanism of QCD mass generation mechanism have become the most important troika in the field of modern physics.

Whether you want to admit it or not, many of the existing physical frameworks are not experimentally validated, and although they may seem fashionable, they are just theories of thought on paper, and it is not clear whether they are right or wrong.

Zhou Chen and others all know that if the Earth Fleet wants to make a breakthrough, it must innovate on the basis of these existing theories, or make another breakthrough on the original basis, or negate the original theory and create a new theory.

If we do not go further on the basis of the original particle theory, the chasm in front of mankind will always be so impassable, whether the existing particle theory is correct or not, it is an indisputable fact that they have really imprisoned people's thinking.

What needs to be done now is either to break through it and take it to the next level, or to destroy it and completely tear it down and start over.

At this time, this large particle collider is an important weapon used to verify the existing scientific and technological theories of mankind.

When powerful energy is given to particles that are about to collide, these particles will present an amazing scene, especially when they collide, the moment the atoms will be torn apart, and the mysterious world buried inside the atoms will be revealed to people, and that process is similar to the moment when the Big Bang is close.

Yes, it is approaching, not reaching, because no matter can reach the speed of light in the process of acceleration, even if you give it infinite energy, it will only try to get as close to the speed of light as it can, and it will never reach the speed of light, so the moment of collision is only to reach the edge of the Big Bang as much as possible, rather than the real Big Bang.

But even if it is a "virtual Big Bang", its technical and theoretical value cannot be underestimated.

With the current level of science and technology and material reserves of the Earth Fleet, of course, it is not extravagant enough to invest all its unlimited resources in this research, so although this super-large particle collider is far more powerful than the one on Earth in scale, in fact, to a certain extent, it is still a semi-finished product.

One day, when they can build a particle collider as huge as orbiting a star, it will probably be the pinnacle of experimental science.

But now, the super-large particle collider in front of them has made scientists tremble in their hearts and place strong expectations on it. (To be continued.) )
