Chapter 217 Gravitons and Space-time Wormholes(1/2)

After seeing Chen Zhengping off, Xu Chuan returned to the hotel room alone, took out a notebook and pen from his suitcase, and sat in front of the glass table.

The question raised by Professor Brian Schmidt is quite interesting.

Use the extended application of the xu-weyl-berry theorem to calculate high-dimensional space, verify whether the high-dimensional space exists, and find a way to enter.

However, for now, this is not realistic.

High-dimensional space in the physical sense is just a conjecture put forward by physicists. Just like a parallel world, no one knows whether it really exists.

This kind of theoretical speculation is as unreliable as floating roots.

Even the four dimensions of time proposed in Einstein's special theory of relativity have not yet been verified.

Everyone can indeed feel the passage of time, but there is no direct evidence for the existence of a four-dimensional space based on time. Leak

Things like clocks and stopwatches are just things created by humans themselves.

...

Sitting in front of the glass table, Xu Chuan had countless thoughts in his mind and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is difficult, or currently impossible, to calculate high-dimensional spaces using the extended application of the xu-weyl-berry theorem.

But Professor Brian Schmidt’s questions also brought him other inspiration.

Can the extended application of xu-weyl-berry's theorem be used to calculate gravitational fluctuations, or does space-time wormholes or similar things exist?

This is something he has been studying since he discovered gravitons in his previous life.

Similar to science fiction movies, or the kind of space-time wormholes in science fiction, you can enter and travel to distant outer galaxies.

Of course, he had no direct evidence to prove the existence of such a thing, but after the discovery of particles such as gravitons, scientific intuition told him that there is a high probability that such things as space-time wormholes really exist.

Whether it's natural or artificial.

In his previous life, he studied a lot of things, such as controllable nuclear fusion, the utilization of dark matter and dark energy, the fluctuation of gravitons in space, etc. These cutting-edge issues in the field of physics are all within the scope of his research, but some are in-depth and some are not.

It's just shallow.

Among them, the space fluctuation caused by the graviton is relatively shallow.

Before he came back from rebirth, this idea was only based on theory without any experimental basis.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the graviton.

A graviton, also called a 'graviton', is an imaginary particle that transmits gravity in physics. The gravity between two objects can be attributed to the exchange of gravitons between the particles that make up the two objects.

In order to transmit gravity, gravitons must always attract each other, have an infinite range of action and appear in an infinite number of forms.

In quantum mechanics, a graviton is defined as a boson with spin 2 and mass zero.

In m-theory, gravitons are defined as free closed strings that can be propagated to high-dimensional spaces outside the cosmic brane and other cosmic branes.

This is the basis of gravitons.

The existence of gravitons is proposed because quantum theory is very successful in all aspects. For example, electromagnetism can be explained by the quantification of photons (quantum electrodynamics). And the basic forces in other aspects of the universe (weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force) are also

It can be perfectly described by quantum theory.

Therefore, people naturally hope that quantum theory can also explain gravity, so it is hypothesized that there is an undiscovered graviton with properties similar to photons, and a quantum gravity theory can eventually be developed. Leak

Of course, in 2018, this stuff was still unproven.

It will be 2030 before gravitons will be discovered by him and formally incorporated into the physical system.

After the discovery of gravitons, part of his mentor Witten's m-theory was actually completed.

Then the theory that gravitons can be propagated to high-dimensional space outside the cosmic brane and to other cosmic branes can also be deduced.

Then using the propagation of gravitons to transmit information or open a channel entered the forefront of research in the physics world at that time.

It's a pity that these things are just purely theoretical things even until he is reborn.

Not to mention controlling gravitons to transmit information and open space-time channels, even how to stabilize the fluctuations of gravitons in space is an impossible task. Leak

However, as a top physicist at the forefront of this field, his research on gravitons is deeper than anyone else.

Some things that you couldn't do in your previous life, you might be able to do in this life.

Professor Brian Schmidt's question today inspired him, allowing him to connect from high-dimensional space to gravitons.

The mathematics he majored in throughout his life gave him the tools and the ability to try to calculate things in this area.

Both are indispensable when combined.

Of course, in the future, he will also need large-scale experimental equipment such as the Large Strong Particle Collider and the Graviton Waver to assist in verifying whether these theories and calculations are correct.

But now, he has found a path that may lead to the future.

...

In the hotel room, in front of the glass table, Xu Chuan held a ballpoint pen and closed his eyes in deep thought.

Time passed bit by bit, and he didn't know how long it had passed. He opened his eyes, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, and a smile on his lips.

"In a conservation system, the speed of motion is treated as a component of the speed of light in the direction of motion, thus establishing the equation of motion and treating time as a function of speed. Through the law of conservation of energy, the differential equation of motion energy is established:

f=de/ds=mc?=g(1/u-√1u2-1/c2), taking the speed of the earth’s graviton as the speed of light c, then the frequency f is as follows:..."

The ballpoint pen in his hand sketched mathematical symbols one by one on the white notebook, and also expressed theories and ideas one by one.

No matter whether these things are right or not, but now, he should be able to make a beginning.

And once you have a beginning, you can follow it down.

Choosing mathematics in this life is really the right choice!

The double superposition of mathematics and physics is far more than just 1 1 = 2.

...

He didn't waste much time on this path. He recorded some of his thoughts and ideas. After a simple calculation, Xu Chuan stopped writing.

Staring at what was recorded in his notebook, he puffed up his cheeks and exhaled.

Judging from the current theory, this may be a feasible way.

But there is too little data related to gravitons to support his continued calculations.

To complete this theory, let alone experiments, is probably not as simple as solving controllable nuclear fusion, or even more difficult.

Because there is very little data related to gravitons, he currently has several years of basic research in his mind.

To study this thing, the Large Strong Particle Collider is indispensable.

Moreover, the energy level may have to be increased to support more than 100 Tev. Currently, the collision energy level of the European Atomic Energy Laboratory's LHC is only 145 to 14 Tev.

To increase the energy level to more than one hundred TEV, this requires another order of magnitude improvement based on LHC, whether it is magnetic hoops, magnetic mirrors, control solutions, or superconducting materials, observation equipment, detectors and other things.

This requires a full upgrade.

This is not a simple project. After LHC was upgraded to HL-LHC, the energy level was only raised to 20-30tev. Leak

China has attracted much attention from the physics community, with a budget of more than 150 billion. The energy level of the super collider that is still under design - the "Circular Electron Positron Collider - Super Proton Collider cepc" has only been raised to about 50 tev.

That's all.

This shows how difficult and expensive it is to design and manufacture a large strong particle collider.

However, the upgraded large strong particle collider is not used for pure high-energy physics and particle physics research.

Strong particle collider can also improve the national economy.

Massimo Florio, an Italian professor of economics at the University of Milan, once conducted a study. In the analytical model they designed, the benefit-cost ratio of the High-Brightness Large Hadron Collider project is approximately 1.8.

In other words, for every 1 Swiss franc invested in the High-Brightness Large Hadron Collider project, approximately 1.8 Swiss francs of social benefit will be generated.

Of course, this social benefit is mainly improved in terms of technology spillover, talent training, research and development and launch of new technologies, cultural benefits, scientific literature, etc.

It does not mean that starting the collider will bring economic effects.

In addition, among the social benefits generated by scientific research on the collider, there is another immeasurable 'knowledge' benefit.

Every operation of the Large Strong Particle Collider will produce a large amount of data, which may contain the truth of the universe.

For example, the discovery of elementary particles such as the Higgs particle may not have much impact on science and technology today, but in the future, these things will become the most valuable wealth of civilization.

Just like no one paid attention to the electromagnetic induction theorem when it first came out, but now, electricity has become an indispensable physics for human beings.

People who invest in science today will find its usefulness and value in the future.

......vent

He didn't waste much time on things like gravitons. After sorting out the ideas in his mind, Xu Chuan left the room and returned to the International Congress of Mathematicians.

This conference only happens once every four years, so you can’t miss it.

In particular, the lectures of other people who won the Fields Medal this year, as well as the lectures of top mathematicians such as Terence Tao, George Williamson, Brendler, etc., are not to be missed.

On the other hand, the older generation of giants like Wiles, Gowers, Deligne and Faltings rarely give reports at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

On the one hand, it is to leave some opportunities for latecomers, on the other hand, these big names are too high in rank and age.

Although many people such as Deligne and Faltings are still engaged in mathematical work, their focus is no longer on breaking through the boundaries of mathematics.
