Chapter 59: The Way of Being

"I was a ball!"

"You can see it!"

Faced with Xiaoguang's self-described predecessor as a spherical structure, Yang Meng felt a little speechless at first,

But I quickly understood the change.

After all, the change from a living body to an energy body does not happen overnight.

But after a series of developments, it has reached the step of Xiaoguang,

In order to save resources and energy,

Although the Rutans have their own changes in form,

But the overall process of change is more or less the same.

First from living beings to cyborgs, and then from cyborgs to fully mechs,

Then miniaturization, structural energy,

In the end, he completely abandoned the mechanical body and became an energy body, which is the current state of Xiaoguang.

So before the energy body, the small light is a miniature sphere.

"As for before, our form was more complicated!"

Yang Meng is not entangled in the answer that Xiaoguang is a ball,

He has a more important question:

"As energy bodies, what energy supply do you use to maintain your current state?"

"By what kind of energy?"

Xiaoguang pondered for a few seconds about this question, as if he was recalling something,

"At the same time as the miniaturization of the structure, we have encountered a kind of limit in electronics,

You should have met it too! ”

Hearing this, Yang Meng nodded lightly,

"That's right, we call it the Moore Limit!"

"Hmmm! I don't know how you humans are pushing this limit.

But when we push the boundaries of this,

Discover a wonderful phenomenon,

What can I say about this phenomenon?

It's a vibrating light, a subtle and peculiar structure......"

Xiaoguang's narration is wonderful,

For a while, Yang Meng didn't understand what he was talking about,

Fortunately, Xiao Yi in his brain analyzed something, and immediately reminded him loudly:

"What he's talking about may be some kind of string theory!"

"String Theory!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's reminder, Yang Meng was shocked, and suddenly remembered something,

"The abnormal energy that I came into contact with in the virtual consciousness world is really related to string theory!"

"But how did they get to know string theory better than humans?"

In Xiaoguang's narration, Yang Meng seemed to have spied a thing or two,

This starts with the subdivision of matter,

With the invention of the microscope, mankind discovered the microscopic world that had never been seen before,

When humans first saw microbes,

Suddenly found that there is a completely different world on this planet,

Human beings are made up of tiny cells like tiny units.

So what is the cell made of?

Nucleic acid, macromolecular protein structure ......

Human cells can be thought of as being made up of molecules.

For a long time, scientists thought that molecules were the smallest particles that made up time.

But with the development of mathematics, optics, and theoretical physics,

Human beings have found that there seems to be something more subtle in the microcosm.

So after arguing, verifying, arguing again,

Human beings discovered atoms, and molecules are made of atoms.

Can the atom be divided again?

With the development of electromagnetic technology,

Humans have discovered that hitting atoms with ray particles seems to be able to knock something out of atoms.

So the atomic structure was discovered.

An atom is made up of a nucleus and electrons, which in turn is made up of protons and neutrons,

With the continuous breakthrough of the microcosm,

Some scientists are also afraid to assert whether proton neutrons are the smallest particle cells, and whether they can be further subdivided.

And after that, along with the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb, nuclear technology appeared,

Mankind discovered that it was possible to knock smaller things out of atoms by heavy particles, and the Large Collider was built!

Humans are constantly trying to knock finer pieces out of the particles.

So the new tiny unit was discovered and confirmed,

That's the quark, and the protons and neutrons in the nucleus can be further subdivided.

And with the progress of human science and technology,

The large collider is getting bigger and bigger, and human beings are constantly impacting particles.

The finer quarks were identified, and there were six flavors,

i.e. upper (u), lower (d), odd (s), cane (c), bottom (b) top (t)

These six flavors are combined with each other to form neutrons and protons.

And when it comes to taste, human beings are still not satisfied,

Because this is far from being reached, the Planck scale,

That is, the minimum scale of quantum that can exist calculated by human beings through quantum theory and general relativity.

This scale is not too small, and it is only about 1 billion billion times smaller than the scale of quarks.

And such a discovery has convinced some human researchers that

Mankind is far from the end of its exploration in the microscopic field.

So from the time of my grandfather to the time he left Earth, humanity continued to explore.

And with the advent of fusion technology,

Humanity can build a more powerful particle collider, and the microcosm can be one step closer.

And in the direction of moving towards the micro realm, there is a theory:

That's string theory!

A strange phenomenon found in the study of particle processes,

particles have spins,

Whether it is the particles that make up the solid or the particles that make up the human being, there is a spin,

So what kind of forces affect the spin,

Since the discovery of the intrinsic motion of spin particles,

Spin has always been a mysterious physical quantity for humans.

And in the process of determining the strong interaction force in human beings,

Humans were surprised to find that when hadrons acting on strong interacting forces, their mass and spin are getting larger and larger,

There is a strange resonance state,

There is something tiny, invisible, that affects the quark-level hadrons.

This is also the first time that mankind has discovered experiments related to string theory in the quantum field.

Until then, string theory had been considered a theory that could not be tested experimentally.

However, alas,

With the technology of human beings at that time, the research into the quark field was already the limit.

Further down the study, it can only be a theoretical breakthrough, and as for the experiment, it is even more impossible.

Yang Meng doesn't know if string theory is the ultimate theory of the microscopic world.

But what is certain is that

String theory is an important direction, and the Rutans hold this theory.

"Can you elaborate on what you've discovered?"

Yang Meng asked tentatively,

And to his surprise,

The small light only flickered slightly,

He told Yang Meng about the string theory discovered by the Rutan Xingren,

Xiaoguang may think that human beings have also mastered a certain string theory,

Or maybe it's for some other reason.

The string theory is very detailed,

For this kind of top-notch theoretical physics, even with Xiao Yi's translation, Yang Meng's mind was swollen and confused.

But even if he didn't understand, he couldn't suppress his heart that was pounding at this time.

"Xiao Yi, record it quickly!"

"Understood!"

Yang Meng never imagined that he could so easily obtain a new theory for mankind.
