Chapter 518: Antimatter? Annihilation particles? Wang Hao: This is a new research direction!
Maybe it's Wang Hao's 'deterrence', or maybe it's just a coincidence, and for two consecutive days, no team submitted a report.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that a national team submitted its report, which was rigorous in its analysis and had very little deviation in its results.
Wang Hao also immediately pointed out two small problems, but considering that the problems were very small, he decided to revise them in time and include them.
"Whew~~"
When it was time to confirm the adoption of the report, the rapporteur of the group and the other members took a long breath and smiled lightly.
They have the feeling of going back to their student days and making graduation project presentations in front of several jury supervisors.
Finally passed, to ease down.
This news also made the other groups a little more relieved, after all, there were reports that passed the review, and they almost understood that there were 'criteria' - there can be small errors, but the analysis should not be large.
Soon.
Each group has submitted a report, and tomorrow morning and afternoon will be conducting the review work, and the report of the group will continue to pass the review.
In the follow-up review work, many people went to the conference hall for a long time to observe, on the one hand, they were curious about whether Wang Hao could find out the problem, on the other hand, they also listened carefully to the content, wanting to see if they could find the problem.
The result......
"I'm convinced!"
"I didn't hear any problems at all, but Professor Wang Hao immediately pointed out the problems......
"That's the gap! Professor Wang Hao deserves to be Professor Wang Hao, and the reason why I say this is because I can't think of anyone who can compare with him......"
"The quality of the report from this experiment is definitely very good. At worst, there will be no major deviations. β
A lot of people are looking forward to the outcome.
Once all the reports have been reviewed, they are uploaded to an internal website for review, and then it's time to reap the results.
Everyone involved in the experiment can make their own research results based on the experimental process, information and reported data, and if they can directly draw some conclusions, the results will be considered individual or team, but they should be labeled as a project team.
This is the same pattern as some large international research projects.
For example, in the case of CERN's particle collision experiments, each experiment report is open to all member states, and whether the content can be analyzed through the report data depends on the level of individuals and teams.
Some scientists have completed some top papers related to quantum physics through the study of a large amount of data, which have been published in top international journals.
Yes, they found nothing.
After all the reports have been reviewed, the project team will also conduct a study as a whole, which will last for about two weeks.
Wang Hao, the chief technical consultant, proposed that the nature of the explosion was a 'neutron explosion', but it was a very complicated thing to prove, and it required experimental conditions and a large amount of data conclusions to pile up.
There are many things that can be referred to, for example, the proportion of various particles in the heat escape when a heat source escapes.
For example, where the explosion occurs instantaneously, and what happens in all directions.
For example, the form of the explosion, determining what kind of effect the device had in it, and so on.
Wait a minute.
At a later summative meeting, Unil Novotini released something definite, "This explosion is much stronger than the last one (the American military) one, which is equivalent to 3,850 kilograms of TNT." β
"Judging from the instantaneous picture and the analysis of the scene situation, the explosion location is in the thin layer of the strong annihilation force field, and there are four locations where the energy intensity of the explosion is the largest, and there are also small explosions in other locations, and there is no definite law."
"The picture and sound of the explosion are directly related to the destruction of the equipment and the impact of the explosion on the ground, and we have analyzed and determined that the explosion is very likely to be a pure energy explosion."
'Pure energy burst' is a very important conclusion.
For example, a black powder explosion is a chemical explosion, and the reaction itself will have a fire and make a violent sound.
The same goes for the atomic bombing.
The nuclear fission reaction is still a change in the material itself, and a large amount of heat is released to make the reaction grow exponentially, thus releasing more energy.
'Pure Energy Burst' is different.
'Pure energy bursts' require a material medium to produce light and sound, and the reaction itself has no direct material involvement, nor does it generate matter.
The conclusion of Unil Novotini caused an uproar at the meeting.
Many people's understanding of 'particle explosion' or 'neutron explosion' is very similar to nuclear fusion reaction, that is, particles or neutrons participate in a certain nuclear reaction, burst out energy and generate some new particles at the same time, and the result is a 'pure energy explosion'?
How to understand this!
What kind of reaction can release only energy and not matter?
β¦β¦
Next to the stage was Krot James.
What he took out was the summary data, that is, the characteristics of the particles that measured the energy of each part, the intensity and properties of the explosion, and the changes in the intensity of the energy burst in a short period of time, etc., which were summarized and generated into several lists, and displayed on the projection screen of the meeting, so that everyone could see clearly.
"That's the end result of the experiment."
"I believe there's a lot of stuff in there, but until now, at least I haven't analyzed anything."
Krot James laughed at himself and continued, "Professor Wang Hao thinks it was a neutron explosion, and Mr. Novotini concluded that it was a pure energy explosion. If the form of the explosion was a completely untouched way for humans, it would be hard to imagine, perhaps only a definition or something. β
"Of course, I hope that I have seen, and perhaps there are well-informed people who can help us solve this puzzle......"
Krot James didn't seem to say anything for a long time, but everyone could understand it, because it was too difficult to analyze and draw conclusions in a short period of time.
The only definitive outcome is a series of reported data and the circumstances of the explosion.
How can it be so easy to draw some conclusions through so many complicated data analysis? At this point, the experimental research came to a standstill, and the experimental project could only be carried out here.
The main entrance of the hotel.
The send-offs are underway, the experimental project has ended, and some teams, groups, and individuals are ready to leave.
Yonile Novotini and Bill Bryan are also leaving.
Wang Hao went to see off Novotini and Brian, and they stood together in the small garden square at the main entrance, talking about experiment-related issues.
Wang Hao asked, "What do you think of Mr. James's question?" β
"What do you mean...... Has humans been exposed to similar explosions? Unil Novotini immediately reacted, "Bill and I are talking about this as well. β
"What do you think?"
Unil Novotini asked rhetorically.
Wang Hao said, "A form of pure energy burst, which is directly related to particles. This kind of energy burst can only be found in particle-related experiments, such as particle collision experiments or high-energy particle studies. β
"If there's an experimentβ"
There was a sudden pause as he said this, and Novotini and Brian thought along with the voice, their eyes widened almost at the same time, and they uttered a wordβ
"Antimatter!"
The two looked at each other and said with surprise in their eyes, "It's really antimatter!" β
"The positive and antimatter cancel each other out and explode with a huge amount of energy. In other words, we may have created antineutrons? β
"But how?"
"Maybe there is a principle in it that we don't know......"
"The strong annihilation force will cause the internal reaction of the particles to change, but it is only the energy that escapes, and there is no reason to create ...... If it's an extremely strong anti-gravity field, it only matters if it feels. β
"Anyway, it's a good idea, we can go and look up the nuclear organization, and the information from Fermilab, maybe we can find it."
Novotini and Brian left with a surprise.
Antimatter is indeed a very consistent idea, theoretically speaking, positive and antimatter cancel each other out and can burst out with huge energy.
This process is pure energy explosion.
Although the existence of antimatter has not been clearly proven, human research on antimatter has also made progress.
As early as 1995, the particle collision experiment conducted by CERN was 'suspected' to find a small number of antihydrogen atoms.
In 2010, CERN announced that it had captured a small amount of "antimatter", that is, a small number of antihydrogen atoms, with the Large Hadron Collider.
This is not definitive proof of the existence of 'antimatter'.
CERN's way of capturing antimatter was through experiments with the Hadron Collider, and then very complex data analysis was done, and in the process of analysis, it was found that a "small number of individual atoms" disappeared and exploded with huge amounts of energy.
This discovery is considered a 'positive and antimatter canceling explosion'.
Similar discoveries were made not only by CERN, but also by Fermilab, which at one point even claimed to have created tens of thousands of antihydrogen atoms.
'Tens of thousands of anti-hydrogen atoms' sounds really terrifying, but in fact, it is only the detection of abnormal energy burst data and the analysis conclusion during the experiment, rather than the actual creation of antihydrogen atoms and their preservation.
But it is undeniable that the 'abnormal energy bursts' that occurred in particle collision experiments are very remarkable.
In simple terms, it approximates 'mass into energy'.
The mass-energy equation makes it easy to calculate how much energy can be converted into mass loss, even if it's just a hydrogen atom.
Rob Thompson, a renowned physicist who has participated in experiments on antimatter, believes that "the discovery of antimatter will lead to a revolution in humanity, making the dream of interstellar travel a reality." β
There are a lot of sci-fi, interstellar travel ships that are fueled by antimatter.
To take the simplest example, it would take more than 10 million tons of chemical raw materials to send humans to Mars, but if it is fueled by antimatter, it will only take a few tens of milligrams, and the time is greatly reduced, only six weeks to arrive.
This shows how huge the 'energy of mass transformation' will be.
This is also the biggest impetus for the research of antimatter in the physics community.
If you can actively create antimatter, and make it 'cancel out' with matter to make energy, it is much more attractive than 'controlled nuclear fusion'.
β¦β¦
The experimental project ended.
The project team came to several definite conclusions, including 'particle participation reactions', 'pure energy bursts', and so on, but the basic principles of the explosion were still not understood.
The follow-up depends on the individual or team research.
Many individuals and teams involved in the experiment can't wait to return and participate in the analysis and research of publicly available data reporting information.
This is the point in time when the results are most likely to be produced.
He Yi was also a little anxious, but he was not in a hurry to go back to do research, but talked about the problem of 'antimatter', "Academician Wang! You thought about antimatter, how can you say it directly, I want to remind you that you can't say it directly......"
"They can retrieve a lot of information when they go back, but we haven't found antimatter, and we can't find much information, so the results belong to them."
"Isn't the experiment just for them?"
"We're at a loss!"
Wang Hao smiled indifferently, "If it's determined to be antimatter, it's good news, at least we have determined the way of explosion." And, perhaps, just the energy burst like that,"
He Yi pondered carefully for a moment and wondered, "You mean, antimatter doesn't exist?" β
Wang Hao said, "You have to consider the theory of annihilation. Energy can be annihilated, but why can't particles? The canceling burst of positive and antimatter can also be understood as 'the annihilation burst of particles with mass'. β
The existence of antimatter is just a theory in itself.
The so-called 'experimental discoveries' are only antimatter to explain experimental phenomena, rather than to confirm the existence of antimatter.
The experiment is to detect mass loss and energy bursts.
If it is placed in the theory of annihilation, it can naturally be understood as 'particles with mass are annihilated and burst out of energy', or theoretically 'the mass point structure disintegrates into energy'.
He Yi's eyes widened when he thought about it, "This explanation...... It can be a perfect alternative to antimatter theory. β
Wang Hao continued, "In addition, theories are only theories after all, whether it is antimatter or annihilation zone mass particles, if you want to prove it, you must pass experiments. β
"How many times can they do similar experiments?"
Before He Yi could answer, Wang Hao continued, "There is no doubt that this is a new research direction, and they can only conduct experiments by creating an explosion with a thin layer of a strong annihilation force field, and each experiment will cost a huge amount of money, and it is difficult to gain anything." β
"And we can use DC technology to create a strong annihilation force field area, and create a heat source inside the field force, only one device is needed, and the heat source intensity can be continuously increased to carry out the test."
He Yi's eyes widened as he thought about it, and he said in surprise, "So, we can study new directions and new technologies?" β
Wang Hao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Don't get too much hope. β
"Whether it's antimatter or annihilation particles, I think it's a technology of the future, and even if you want to use it, it's very difficult to use it."
"I'm more interested in the laws of physics."
"Is there antimatter, or is the particle annihilated? How did the energy burst happen......" Wang Hao said with a longing for it.
The mystery of physics is truly fascinating......
