Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The ship found itself on fire.

And it's still very thorough.

Though this has not happened twice at a time, this time it was completely unexpected. He thought after the paper was thrown out, it was just a little bit of physics, but he didn't even get the headlines from the Washington Post.

It's not just that.

Columbia Television also specifically invited Professor Saskander of Stanford University for an interview of a scientific nature.

As one of the founders of string theory, Professor Saskander is arguably one of the elders in the field of theoretical physics. Although the study of Z particles is not his specialty, his research is still quite representative of the broad relativity and temporal curvature.

Faced with an interviewer from Columbia TV, Professor Saskander, sitting in his lab, thought for a while and pulled a blank piece of paper from his desk for drafting.

“See the paper on my hand? ”

Interviewer: "Yes… but Professor Saskander, what's so special about it? ”

“I assume it represents three-dimensional space, point A is Earth, point B is 4.22 light years away from us by the neighboring stars, and now I connect them in a straight line...”

As he spoke, Professor Saskander drew a line and two AB points on blank paper with a ballpoint pen.

Looking at the confused interviewer, he continued.

“Normally, we go from the solar system to nearby stars, that is, from A to B, even if we ignore all kinds of complex orbital changes and go in a straighter line than the Golden Gate Bridge, we actually spare a long way, because our universe is actually distorted, like this...”

The old professor rubbed the blank paper into a bunch and stuffed it in front of the interviewer.

“See, this is what our universe really looks like, and the blank paper that represents 3D space is like a piece of paper, because gravity all over the universe is distorted in higher dimensions of space. ”

“As you can see, A and B are actually very close, two pieces of paper may stick together, or maybe even less than the distance of a nail cover… but this is viewed in a dimension higher than the three-dimensional space. ”

“Because we're three-dimensional creatures, we can't leave the paper, so the distance we actually walk, the shortest, can only be the straight line drawn on the paper. ”

As he spoke, the professor unfolded the paper group in his hand, pointing to the rubbed, wrinkled paper, and the straight line printed on the paper, and continued.

“This straight line is the path the Falcon Rocket is going to take. ”

“And if it's a warp engine, the path doesn't appear on paper at all, and he goes straight to the 4D or 5D… and so on and so on, which is higher than the 3D. ”

“Just like that! ”

The paper was rubbed back into a bunch, and Saskander rubbed it through with a pen in his hand.

Looking up at the staring interviewer, the gray-haired old man smiled and continued.

“Nature is best understood by you. ”

“If you don't understand, you understand that we may have found a shortcut. ”

“In this way, it may only take half a day or half an hour to get to Mars later. ”

“If I still don't understand, I can't help it. ”

The show continues.

But there's not much nutrition in the second half.

Raise the remote to turn off the TV and sit on the ark on the sofa in the living room to give your own review of the program that evaluates your research results.

“Very image interpretation, fairly novel thinking… nothing wrong. ”

The only problem is probably a little too optimistic.

Even if Z particles have this magical characteristic that can act as bridges, it's a little too difficult to use it to navigate at warp speeds… at least it doesn't look like something that could be done in 50 years.

Of course, Professor Saskander was pretty good at what he said as a science show.

Especially for those who lack space imagination, imagining the universe as a piece of paper rubbing together, all of whom are black dots on paper, is a very easy way indeed.

However, Director Li sitting across from the ark seems to have misunderstood what he meant.

Just saw this old man with his hands on the armrest of the leather sofa, his excited beard was shaking off, his old face rose red as if he could have a heart attack at any moment.

“Is it true? It'll only take half an hour to get to Mars from Earth? ”

Heard an irrational statement, Ark Khan.

“... half an hour is an exaggeration, and it's just a theory, you know? Even something as simple as an atomic bomb, from the equation of mass energy to Otto Hahn's paper on uranium fission, is more than two decades old. ”

Not to mention Z particles, which are more difficult to stabilise than ordinary subatomic particles. A whole bunch of subatomic particles like mediators, quarks, colloids, and photons have not been fully developed. It is too early to consider how to use Z particles to solve real problems.

Scientific progress takes time to precipitate, and it is only when the time is ripe that it is possible to become a technology in a realistic sense.

Nor does the Ark know how long it will take for the day to arrive.

Just based on experience, at least not until the next century, right?

When he thought about it so much, Ark's eyes kept staring at Director Lee and clamping the fingers of the sofa armrest.

He wasn't worried about the old man having a heart attack, he had a much stronger heart than he thought. The only thing that worries the ark is that it broke down its couch.

He likes the couch a lot.

A number of world-renowned physicists and mathematicians, either world-renowned or about to be world-renowned, have sat here and had coffee with him.

If you don't say anything about historical relics, at least it has to be a little memorable.

Hearing the ark deny that it would be able to reach Mars within half an hour, Director Li's expression appeared disappointed and his elevated blood pressure gradually dropped back, some lamenting with regret.

“That means... can't we just take a shortcut to Mars? ”

An emotionally sipped coffee, the ark thought about it and suddenly sighed lightly.

“… neither can it be. ”

In an instant, Commissioner Lee's blood pressure, which had just dropped, rose again at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

This upside down torment didn't get him out of trouble.

I saw the old man sitting upright, staring at the ark with an almost fanatical eye and saying sincerely.

“What to do? ”

“Let's start with the validation theory," he said, "dropping the coffee cup in his hand and the ark looking at him seriously," for example, sending a Z-particle clock to Mars orbit first. ”

Director Li went on to ask, “Then what? ”

“And?”

Lifting her eyebrows gently, the ark laughed and leaned back against the couch.

“Then we send a pair of photons. ”
