Chapter 9: The Field of Distorting the Starry Sky
"Stars...... Isn't it always moving? ”
Hao Xiaoxi wondered.
"It's not the stars moving, it's the earth moving." The scientist succinctly explains, "Because of the Earth's revolution and rotation, the stars in the sky appear to be moving." ”
The movement of stars is measured in 10,000 years, which is almost stationary for short-lived humans.
Hao Xiaoxi asked, "So you mean, those stars are really starting to move now?" ”
The scientist said solemnly: "That's right! ”
"Observations show that in just a few days, the stars in the direction of Centauri have undergone large-scale displacements, ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of light-years."
Hao Xiaoxi was surprised: "Are the observations credible?" ”
The displacement of hundreds of thousands of light-years occurred in a few days, and it was a large celestial body, which was simply appalling!
"The stars are right above us, and even the average astronomy enthusiast can see them clearly." Scientists are also puzzled, "they reach tens of millions of times the speed of light in conventional navigation, completely contrary to the theory of relativity......"
Albert Einstein proposed the mass-energy equation in his theory of relativity.
E=MC²
This equation is regarded as a milestone in physics.
where E is energy, M is mass, and C is the speed of light, in simple terms, all matter has the energy of mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.
The entire energy of a stationary object is precipitated in the mass at rest.
To move this stationary object, kinetic energy is supplied to the object, and according to the mass-energy equation, these kinetic energy causes the mass of the object to increase.
When the speed of an object reaches 0.9 times the speed of light, its mass will be doubled, and as the speed approaches the speed of light, the energy required to accelerate the explosive growth, and the mass of the object will increase wildly.
Eventually, as infinity approaches the speed of light, the energy required reaches infinity, and the mass of the object reaches infinity.
But there is no infinite amount of energy in the real universe, and there can be no objects with infinite mass, so the mass-energy equation tells human beings that only things without mass can reach the speed of light, and the speed of light is the limit of speed.
But recent observations have shattered this rule.
A celestial body with thirty zeros behind it in weight, in just a few days, has crossed a distance of hundreds of thousands of light years, which is literally a tap dance on the theory of relativity!
"Then our Wandering Earth Project ......"
The destination of the Wandering Earth is the Centaur constellation, but judging from the current situation, the Earth blindly driving towards the Centaur constellation is undoubtedly self-defeating.
After all, no one wants to be hit by a star that reaches tens of millions of times the speed of light.
Hao Xiaoxi's thoughts fell into confusion for a while.
The scientist sighed: "We are mobilizing all resources in the hope of finding a reasonable explanation." ”
Since the fall of the space station fourteen years ago, things that violate scientific common sense have been slapped on human tables one after another.
Fourteen years have passed, and they still haven't figured out what the ghost is about, and the celestial bodies of the constellation Centaur have traveled tens of millions of times the speed of light, and now the entire circle of scientists is mired in self-doubt.
Does physics simply not exist?
Or is there a hidden high civilization that has suddenly emerged in recent decades?
What the hell is going on?
What the hell is going on?
What the hell is going on?
Everyone's mind is full of question marks, but at the moment they can only wait for the results of further investigations.
......
A few days later.
"We compared observations from multiple observatories around the world, combined with images from space stations and deep-space exploration satellites, and finally found that the coordinates of the same star are different at different observation points."
"We've figured out the problem."
The scientist said with a complicated expression.
Hao Xiaoxi asked hesitantly, "What's the problem?" ”
The scientist replied, "Between us and the Centaur constellation, I don't know why there is a strange field where the light is distorted as it passes through it. ”
"This field has emerged in the last few days."
"So we observed that the stars in the constellation Centaur had moved hundreds of thousands of light-years in these few days."
Hao Xiaoxi nodded as if he didn't understand.
"But why is that?"
She asked.
The scientist shook his head: "I don't know, but the Earth is getting closer and closer to this field." ”
"The ghost pushed the moon away, and it had a great reaction to the earth, and this reaction force is pushing the earth in the direction of the field."
Hao Xiaoxi's eyebrows tightened: "Can you stop?" ”
They don't know anything about this field, and who knows what will happen when the Earth crashes headlong into it?
"Can't stop."
"The planetary engines are all on the back side of the Earth, and now turning on the engines can only accelerate the Earth, and if we want to turn the engines to the other side, we need at least three years."
"But we only have three days left."
