Chapter 151 Why the Earth?
In the scientific community, Zhao Lan is undoubtedly a junior. It is the first time she has participated in such a high-standard conference. I thought of facing so many scientific experts and idols directly at the conference, Zhao Lan couldn't help but feel excited.
The meeting started five days later, and there was still plenty of time, but Zhao Lan and Zhang Hong did not dare to neglect. The two boarded Zhao Lan's Sylvia spacecraft together and set off on the way back to Earth again.
The psychological shadow caused by the last incident to Zhao Lan has not yet faded, but this time Zhang Hong is traveling with him again, and Zhang Hong has already gained a certain status and fame in the scientific community. He is not afraid of any more accidents when he is with such a scientist.
The two hurriedly returned to the earth, and then discussed some details with some scientists on the earth, and made some calibrations for some data, logic and calculation processes in this data, and time slipped away quietly. This meeting, which concerns the fate of the entire human civilization, was also held.
The meeting was held in a large auditorium of the central government of the capital. The participants included all the important figures in human society. Not only scientists from various disciplines, but also figures in the government, and even the Head of Civilization of Humanity personally attended the meeting. The total number of participants has exceeded 2,000.
After the head of state delivered his opening speech, the first person invited by the conference host to speak in the rostrum was Zhao Lan. After experiencing such an occasion for the first time, Zhao Lan felt a little excited and a little ashamed. She was excited because she could get such treatment as a junior in the scientific community, and was ashamed because Zhao Lan knew that all these achievements actually had little to do with him. They were the achievements made by the team of scientists who were hidden in the Li Yunfan base, who were free from the mainstream scientific community. She was just a name.
"I am not a vain person. If one day you can stand in the sun, I will definitely return all this honor to you." Zhao Lan thought silently.
Standing in the spotlight, standing in front of the microphone, facing thousands of pairs of eyes in the auditorium, Zhao Lan calmed down his excitement and opened his mouth.
"Hello everyone. I am a researcher from the 105 Institute. I am Zhao Lan." Zhao Lan said slowly, "I believe everyone has known what happened recently in our civilized starry sky... Starting about a few months ago, I observed the first abnormal disappearance of celestial bodies, which was a distant quasar more than 8 billion light years away from us. At the last moment, it still existed in my telescope's field of view, but at the next moment, it disappeared."
"For this reason, I submitted an observation report to the Central Academy of Sciences, and then I learned that the abnormal disappearance of astral bodies is not an isolated case. In the following months, this number quickly climbed to millions. Millions of known and recorded celestial bodies disappeared from the perspective of our human civilization. At the beginning, we didn't know what this meant, but by chance, I found that in a certain space around our earth, the pi value is not the same as the pi value we calculated..."
Zhao Lan spent more than ten minutes briefly explaining the incident and his discovery, and then explained to all participants the Robachevsky space, space bending, and the fall of the earth.
Most of the scientists attending the meeting were not aware of this incident. They were working at various space stations and research institutes on the inner solar system and the surface of the earth yesterday. After receiving an emergency notice to attend the meeting, they received such important news and learned that... the earth is likely to fall out of this universe after a period of time.
"Based on the calculation of the curvature of space, we speculate that if there is no accident, the earth will completely leave the current universe in less than five years and completely enter another completely unfamiliar space. At that time, the stars in our night sky will completely disappear, and no one will remain, and even the sun will disappear. Because in the calculation, the sun will not fall into that strange space with the earth. As for what is in that space and what kind of environment, we know nothing. But we are almost certain that in that strange space, there will not be a star that happens to be in a steady state waiting for us at a suitable distance."
Because it was impossible to disclose the matters related to Li Yunfan, Zhao Lan did not say anything about the empty universe. Anyway, in this incident, it has nothing to do with whether the relevant information about the empty universe was released or not.
"And this, for our human civilization, is undoubtedly a catastrophe. Our greatest possibility and luckiest possibility is to fall into an empty space, where the stars closest to us may be millions of light years away. We do not have any star group that is within the order of ten light years to serve as a springboard for us to develop interstellar navigation methods. In other words, we will be trapped on Earth, and after exhausting all resources on Earth, our human civilization will perish."
After Zhao Lan finished saying this, a scientist raised his hand. So Zhao Lan signaled: "If you have any questions, please tell me."
The scientist said: "Although I don't know the details of this star disaster, through your narrative, I still have a question, that is, how did you determine that the space where the earth is about to fall into is very empty?"
Zhao Lan replied: "It is precisely because the earth continues to fall into that strange space that the stars in our field of vision disappear. If there are many stars in that universe, the light of those stars should also reach the earth due to the fall of the earth. The changes we observe on the earth should be: some old celestial bodies disappear, and some new celestial bodies appear. We only observed the disappearance of the old celestial bodies, but did not observe the emergence of new celestial bodies, so we can basically be sure that the strange space must be empty. Well, we have not observed the emergence of new ray sources or gamma ray sources, and new radiation sources in any other band. This also proves the emptiness of the universe in another aspect."
The scientist nodded and sat down. Then another scientist raised his hand.
"I have been initially exposed to the content of this star disaster before. I have always had an idea in my mind, that is, since we have known the curvature of space in advance and have established a spatial model for this, we can find a "point" that exists near the earth through calculations that is straight and not affected by the surrounding curved environment. At this point, we should be able to observe all the celestial bodies that disappear in the earth's field of view. I wonder if you have ever verified this problem?"
"We have done verification." Zhao Lan nodded, "The result of the verification is that all the stars that seem to disappear on the earth and nearby appear again in that particular observation point. This strongly proves our view that "there has not changed the star body itself, but the environment around the earth has changed, so they cannot be observed." At the same time, this verification also shows that our model and calculation of the Robachevsky space are completely correct, and it also means that our prediction that the earth will fall into strange space is also correct. We have detailed information about this verification process, and later, it will be distributed to everyone with a detailed introduction to this event."
"Okay, thank you." The scientist thanked him and sat in his seat.
Another scientist stood up: "May I ask, have you ever studied the cause of the formation of this distorted space?"
Zhao Lan replied: "I have studied it, but I have no results at all. Maybe it's a distorted space weapon thrown out by a super alien civilization passing by, or maybe it's a special area formed by some unknown physical processes in the universe... There are too many possible reasons, and who knows what's going on."
The scientist sat down, and another scientist raised his own question: "I noticed that the time of the celestial abnormal disappearance event almost coincides with the time of the outbreak of the star Haishan II. Could you please ask, have you ever studied whether there is any correlation between the two?"
"My team and I have researched it." Zhao Lan replied, "Although it is not certain, we think that the two are basically not coincidental, and there is a very high probability that they are causal. We think the most likely situation is: there are originally a small distorted space area in the solar system that has no effect on the earth and the solar system space. Because of the excitation or impact of the energy emitted by the Haishan Second burst, this area suddenly expanded and eventually had an impact on the earth, leading to our current crisis. Regarding the possible interaction between high-energy gamma rays and neutrino bursts and space, we will attach it to the detailed research data and send it to you later."
Another scientist stood up and said, "I have a question to ask you. May I ask... There are so many planets in this universe, and even dozens of dwarf planets in our solar system are as high as dozens of them. So, why is it the Earth? Why is it the Earth suffering from this kind of misfortune?" (To be continued)
