Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1216 Sometimes Science is More Than an Idea

Walk into the cafe.

Sitting by the window, the ark instructed Wang Peng to wait beside him and then looked at Professor Milo sitting opposite him.

“Would you like a drink? ”

“As long as it's ice. ”

The ark nodded and then looked at the waiter and ordered two glasses of iced coffee.

He then turned his attention to Professor Milo and asked.

“To be honest, I don't quite understand how 53% of mass expansion relates to… the spirit of the universe in your mouth? ”

“You are the first person to ask me this question," some unexpectedly glanced at the ark, Professor Milo continued, "and the overwhelming majority of people's first reaction was to say crazy things, whispering mysterious and unreliable theories. ”

“I am not essentially different from their point of view," the ark shrugged, continuing, "my curiosity is purely the connection between the two. ”

Instead of speaking immediately, Professor Milo spent some time on his body.

This motion made Wang Peng standing next to him nervous for a while, and his right hand couldn't help but put the bag in.

However, the professor from the United States did not make an extraordinary move, but only picked up a notepad from his inner pocket and a signature pen.

“Since you're best at mathematics, I'll show you mathematics. ”

Watching his movements with interest, the Ark made a gesture, please.

“I agree with you that vision may be false, but mathematics is certainly not deceptive. ”

No comment was made on the sentence, and Professor Milo quickly wrote down a line of formulas on the note paper with a pen in his hand.

mN = m0-4c1Mπ2 + O (Mπ3)

“This is the nuclear mass obtained by extrapolation of the hand, m0 ¾ 880MeV; c1 ¾ -1GeV-1; Mπ2 is the mass square of π mediators...”

I took my coffee from the service and the ark said calmly.

“So? I'm not here to listen to your Cop quantum chromodynamics. ”

“Don't worry, I'm just trying to confirm the basic concept to better articulate my point of view. ”

Professor Milo cleared his voice and went on to say, "According to this line of formula, it is clear that the vast majority of the mass of visible matter in the universe can be illustrated by pure quantum chromatic dynamics without introducing quark mass… With the exception of 7 per cent, it is temporarily impossible to explain that they may come from statistical errors, perhaps in addition to standard models, but this is not a major problem. ”

The ark nodded, without any indication, but waited quietly for him to continue.

“… However, recent experiments have completely reversed all my previous speculations. And when I thought a bigger energy collision would reveal the secrets of that part of the 7%, we were amazed to find that the 7% had disappeared. ”

“Not only that, but even 53% more of our observation systems do not explain the quality of the source! ”

“Amazing, isn't it? It only makes sense that we should have seen less than it actually had. The truth is, however, that we have seen more than it actually has, to an extent that cannot be ignored! ”

“Think about it, we can only keep both sides of the equation constant by introducing a negative mass of particles. The perfect universe was like a piece of rubber clay, pinched in an invisible hand, kneading at will ——"

“Perfection is just a subjective judgment," the ark said, interrupting his words, "I never thought the universe was perfect. ”

“Really? Ha ha, maybe! What if I told you that I saw that ghost —— well, that's weird, and it's not going to do you any good except treat me like a lunatic. ”

Isn't that right?

Such confusion arose subconsciously in the heart of the ark, but did not appear on its face.

Professor Milo suddenly lowered his head quickly and wrote several lines of formula and handwriting on the paper as his gaze lingered for a few seconds on the ark's face without much expression change.

After doing all that, he carefully stacked it together and stuffed it in front of the ark.

“The bold hypothesis and cautious quest is the progress of physics that we can draw from history to this day. Just as we perceive the existence of gravity from the falling apple, the scientific mind takes us out of obscurity, learns to summarize the pattern of things… and lets us forget our own insignificance. ”

“You know what? ”

“This universe is like a game designed, and usually it responds to our expectations. Until one day, the parameters we entered into it finally exceeded its threshold, and it finally failed to respond to our expectations of it. All scientific theories have collapsed in this singularity, and there is no longer a pattern of material development. ”

“Collisions over 5Tev crush not only quality checks and balances, but physics as a whole. ”

The Ark looked at him silently.

Now he probably knows why this talented young scholar got paranoid —— even insane.

Physics is the discipline that studies the most general patterns of material movement and the basic structure of matter, and now their discoveries are revealing to them that the universe is in fact irregular.

It's not so alarming if it's just a physical theory, but it obviously touches something closer to the source.

That is, the so-called truth itself.

This small ship exploring the truth of the universe is being dragged into a swamp by an invisible hand.

By now, the Ark had finally understood why the matter had developed to the point where the system had to come forward and issue him an [emergency task].

Honestly, if he hadn't heard voices from the void side, he would probably be more overwhelmed at this moment than Professor Milo.

“… the universe itself is irregular, and our ignorance and insignificance leads us to believe that the sky we see at the bottom of the well is everything in the sky. ”

“As if, in this universe, there is an invisible ghost, who removes the apple from the tree, stretches out his hand and strangles Schrödinger's cat so that light can be particles or waves, manipulating everything at will… while we delude ourselves into explaining its behavior with some lame and self-serving theory. ”

Suddenly, Professor Milo's bloody pupils widened a few points when he whispered something chilling.

The index finger tapped gently on the note, and he lowered his voice.

“That's my prediction, Dear Professor Lu. ”

“The mass expansion of high-energy zones is irregular, and we've been doing a very stupid thing for the last half century. ”

“We'll start experimenting again in half a month, and soon you'll prove me right. ”

“It's all arranged. ”

After saying this, Professor Milo held onto the table with his hands and took a step that the six parents did not recognize. After countless people watched with surprise, he fell and ran away.

……

As you can see, the results of that experiment hit him hard.

Spiritually, physiologically.

After finishing his meeting with Professor Milo, the ark returned to the car and sat silently in the back row looking at the note in his hand, like he was thinking about something.

Looking through the rearview mirror at the ark, Wang Peng hesitated for a moment and said.

“What is that professor...”

“Faith collapses. ”

Wang Peng: “…? ”

Ark: “If one day I were to tell you about your mathematics, physics, chemistry, even language from childhood to college… everything was actually fake, how would you feel? ”

Although this is not the first time Professor Lu has asked such a strange question, which he is already accustomed to, this time seems more difficult than usual.

Wang Peng thought about it for a while and had a subtle expression on his face.

“It is inconceivable… that the language could not be false. ”

“I'm just going to give you a common example, after all, of not systematically studying quantum chromodynamics, much less spending most of your life writing papers, like people revealing nature. ”

With a gentle sigh, the ark thought for a while and continued.

“Let me give you another example, assuming that one day the man you worship most, from a saint, becomes a demon without evil, or something like that, and pushes the world to the brink of destruction. ”

Wang Peng said almost without hesitation.

“It's impossible. ”

“Really?” The ark shrugged, “I don't think that's possible either. But you should be able to think about what a disaster might mean to you if something like this happened. ”

“This is what Professor Miró faced, and what he had always considered impossible and firmly held it to his creed took place before his eyes. ”

“What we've been drilling for the last two decades has turned into scrap paper, and physics and life have lost their meaning. ”

“In this sense, sometimes science is more than just an idea. ”

“It is also a faith. ”

……

Professor Milo was suspended.

This is also a doctor's suggestion.

In any case, he is not in a good position to participate in the study.

In particular, he affected not only himself, but also others in the project team.

The Ark thought that facing such a situation might make the young genius feel unacceptable.

Unexpectedly, however, after hearing IMCRC's advice on treatment, he was unexpectedly calm and even had an extra relaxed expression on his face when packing his things and leaving the office.

“Well, I finally have time to plan the trip I've always wanted to start. ”

After leaving the sentence, he said goodbye to his colleagues and left his office.

Out of some concern, the Ark paid particular attention to the situation of Professor Lower Milo. Interestingly, the physics professor did not leave Shanghai immediately, but still lived in a single apartment prepared for him by IMCRC.

Looks like he's not so sure about his speculation, he's going to wait until the end of the next experiment to see if he's right.

This, however, adds to the discomfort felt by the Ark.

Because that means that all his conclusions were drawn in a state of sobriety.

At the same time, the Ark also noted that during this period of suspension, Professor Milo had been updating his blog. Objectively, his literature is really good, he can show boring, odorless theories of physics in commonly understandable form, and thus he also reaps a lot of fans - or believers.

So, half a month went by in the turmoil of physics as a whole.

The IMCRC finally waited for the next experimental cycle.

This time, the ship stood personally at the site of the ground command centre.

Instead of some necessary academic purpose, he just wanted to confirm with his own eyes whether it was just a strange oolong or a discovery that really subverted physics.

His fist was squeezed loose constantly, circling back and forth in the lobby of the Ground Command Center, and he finally waited for the moment when the result came out.

And the data on the screen made him unconsciously open his eyes.

That weird scene is back!

After the collision of the two lead ions in the high energy zone, not only did the mass not suffer a loss, but a part of it came out!

A noisy voice from the ground command centre, people unbelievably opened their eyes and exchanged uncertain gazes, whispering, nervously and even excitedly talking.

The expression on the face of the ark was quite calm, but slightly stiff.

It was the first time he had felt the situation so difficult.

The subconscious reached into his pocket and he took the note out of his pocket and opened it.

Looking at the content, he whispered.

“You really guessed it. ”

The extra mass is no longer 0.53 lead ions.

It's 0.71.

It's not just that.

The four detectors captured data from the unobstructed experiment, surprisingly highly matched...
