Chapter 168: Graviton
Xiao Yu informed Lucca's scientists and asked them to keep the news off for the time being and not to spread it, so as not to cause chaos in Lucca's society. Xiao Yu himself also tried his best to suppress the chaotic thoughts, concentrate his energy, and start the study of the theory of great unification.
"This is an area that I can't reach, it's absolutely impossible to join the Guardian Alliance, then I can only resign myself to fate, hopefully, in the next thirty years, before this so-called information storm arrives, there can be some good luck to favor me......" Xiao Yu thought silently.
Now Xiao Yu has a strange feeling, as if he has become an ant, standing in front of the dam of the Great River that is about to collapse. There is no powerlessness, there is no way to do anything, there is nowhere to escape, and you can only resign yourself to fate.
Xiao Yu is waiting for the next space broadcast of the Guardian Alliance, Xiao Yu hopes that he can get some useful information for himself in the next space broadcast of the Guardian Alliance, at least, let himself have a direction that he can fight for.
The laying of the Large Particle Collider has been completed, and in this five-star system, Xiao Yu has no way to lay around the star, so he simply lays the Large Particle Collider in the orbit of this planet. Although the gravitational disturbance of the rest of the stars could not be avoided, the large particle collider itself was able to maintain a stable orbit with the support of its own power.
In this five-conjunction galaxy, Xiao Yu was a little surprised to find that even the collision of the particle collider Shiyan had undergone some strange changes.
This result made Xiao Yu more and more sure that he was in a magical place. There are all kinds of indications that some unknown processes based on the theory of grand unification are at work here.
During this time, Xiao Yu was very fortunate to observe more than a dozen strong gravitational sources that suddenly appeared at close range. A large amount of first-hand information has been collected. But the observations show that where the source of strong gravity appears, there is nothing and no matter exists.
This result puzzled Xiao Yu.
To this end, Xiao Yu put forward a hypothesis.
"Is it possible that, in this place of gravitational confusion, due to some reaction process that I have not yet understood, the energy from the stars, is above these more peculiar points. Converted to gravity? After all, gravity and the other three fundamental forces are synthesized in the grand unification theory. Energy can be converted into electromagnetic force, which manifests itself in the form of photons, or it can be converted into weak force. It manifests itself in the form of W and Z bosons and can be converted into strong force. It manifests itself in the form of gluons. That weishenme can't be converted into gravity, manifested in the form of gravitons? ”
Gravitons are a type of particle that is the medium of gravity. Quantum mechanics hopes that gravitational interactions can be explained by gravitons.
"By the way, if there is a phenomenon of energy being converted into gravitons in this quintessential galaxy, that's for sure. Here as well, several other phenomena are bound to occur, such as the conversion of energy into electromagnetic interaction forces and the release of photons......"
"This point is worth studying." Xiao Yu came to a conclusion and continued to think.
"Gravity and mass are closely related. The discovery of the Higgs boson basically confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, and confirmed that mass is formed by the interaction between particles and the Higgs field, that is, if the graviton exists, it will be closely related to the Higgs boson......" Xiao Yu came to a conclusion and once again set his eyes on the large particle collider.
To study microscopic physics, the Large Particle Collider is an indispensable tool.
In order to confirm his speculation, Xiao Yu carried out a large number of related experiments, trying to find evidence of the existence of gravitons in the collision of microscopic particles again and again. At the same time, Xiao Yu has not let go of the strange phenomena on the macro scale, and is still studying it closely.
Time slipped away little by little in the midst of this busy research process.
Finally, after thousands of collision experiments, Xiao Yu observed a new type of particle. This particle, which is similar in nature to photons, has no rest mass and is not charged, belongs to a type of boson.
The discovery of this new type of particle greatly encouraged Xiao Yu's confidence. Xiao Yu immediately informed Lucca scientists of the results and jointly launched a study of this particle.
As his research deepened, Xiao Yu gradually discovered many strange properties of this particle. For example, it is always accompanied by the birth of the Higgs boson, and every time a Higgs boson is born, it is accompanied by the birth of one of these particles, and further research has found that this strange particle is actually composed of two tiny particles, one with a positive mass and the other with a negative mass. When the two particles are entangled, they exhibit the external characteristic of zero mass.
It travels at the speed of light, and these two particles do not interact with each other, but they interact with the rest of the particles very easily. The positive mass particles and the rest of the negative mass particles combine with each other, both attract, both annihilate, and return to nothingness, and it is in such a process that the gravitational force is created.
At the moment when he learned that it interacted with the rest of the particles, Xiao Yu officially announced that he had discovered the existence of gravitons, and from this moment on, Xiao Yu would be able to explain what gravity is.
The discovery of the graviton has pushed the study of the grand unification theory forward a big step. As long as we understand the mechanism of graviton generation and its relationship with the rest of the elementary particles, the theory of unification will be completely won by Xiao Yu.
As for Weishenme's discovery of gravitons in the previous collision Shiyan, but in the Aquila four star system, Xiao Yu can only explain that it is affected by the strange environment here.
After this momentous achievement, all Lucca scientists took a day off, and on this day, they held a grand ceremony. This is almost unthinkable for Lucca scientists, who cherish time and are eager to accurately time down to milliseconds. From this, we can imagine how significant the discovery of gravitons is.
Xiao Yu also celebrated the event, setting up a 3D projector and forming an avatar to celebrate the achievement with Luca's scientists. However, in the warm and high-spirited atmosphere of the venue, there was always a shadow hanging over them.
"Information storm...... Twenty-five years to come. Xiao Yu thought silently.
It took Xiao Yu five years to confirm the existence of the graviton, and to study its various related properties. This speed of progress made Xiao Yu doubt whether he would be able to make a breakthrough in the theory of great unification before the arrival of the information storm that the Guardian Alliance said.
In fact, Xiao Yu has always had a feeling that the crazy research on the theory of great unification is not so much for the sake of scientific and technological breakthroughs as it is better to escape the powerful pressure of the information storm. Only in the midst of busy work can we temporarily forget the dark cloud of terror that weighs on my heart.
During this time, Xiao Yu's long-awaited next space broadcast from the Guardian Alliance never arrived, but Xiao Yu waited for a bad news.
According to current orbital analysis, the planet will undergo a host switch in the next month. In other words, after this month has passed, it will no longer orbit star C, but will be captured by star B at close range, and become a planet of star B.
Because the orbit of the multi-body system was chaotic and it was impossible to make long-term predictions, Xiao Yu did not predict this event until a month before it happened.
At that time, the planet, at its closest point to star B, will be less than two million kilometers. This distance has exceeded the Loch limit, so this planet will be torn apart by the gravitational pull of star B.
Because the orbit is chaotic and cannot be accurately predicted, Xiao Yu predicts that the probability of the planet being torn apart by star B is about 80%.
If this planet is torn apart, it means that all the bases that Xiao Yu built under the planet will be completely destroyed. Xiao Yu can't stay around this planet anymore, and the large particle collider has to be put away. In the future, due to the lack of a stable host, the Large Particle Collider will not be able to be laid again for Xiao Yu to carry out research.
In desperation, Xiao Yu had no choice but to carry out emergency construction, take back all the recyclable objects, and reclaim the large particle collider to the Hebei, and then manipulated the spacecraft, away from the planet, and came to the void about 30 million kilometers away from it, observing the situation here.
It took Xiao Yu more than 20 days to recover all kinds of materials and various preparations. According to Xiao Yu's prediction, the host switching phenomenon will occur in five days.
During these five days, Xiao Yu observed another phenomenon. This phenomenon allowed Xiao Yu to raise the probability of the destruction of this planet to 99%.
Xiao Yu observed that star A, which had been operating in An'an, also showed some tendencies to get closer. It will pass at a distance of about 30 million kilometers from star C and more than 20 million kilometers from star B. At that time, the three stars A, B, and C will be in a straight line, and this poor planet will be between the two stars A and B.
At that time, stars C and B will join forces to pull the planet gravitationally against star A. It's like a tug-of-war in the universe, and this planet is the poor rope.
Xiao Yu looked at this poor planet that was unconscious and still moving slowly with sympathy, and quietly distanced himself from it a little more. (To be continued......)
