Chapter 55 The Framework of the Unity of Time and Space
On the orbit around Pluto in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system, the Charon Deep Space Laboratory fell into a lull as the team led by Wen Hua left. However, this tranquility didn't last long.
To be precise, after the team led by Wen Hua stepped out of Charon, cesium-133 resonated 9.1 billion times multiplied by 60 under the condition of minus 273 degrees Celsius, and it became noisy again.
"This doesn't make sense! Without space, there is no time!
Under the framework of the unity of time and space, how can motion become an independent entity by separating the concept of space alone?
We are just marking the front and back order of an object in space. Time is just a substitute term. How can it exist independently now?"
On the way to the laboratory, Professor John couldn't figure out the answer no matter how hard he thought;
"How can something that doesn't exist in the first place come into existence?"
"Are you guys being fooled?
How much scientific research reward did you approve for her?"
Without the transmission function of the atmosphere, there is no room for sound in the silent deep space.
The humanoid intelligent superposition platform, getting rid of the bulkiness of the loading module, reveals its slender black limbs inside.
The face condensed by the graphene composite material can't express emotions. Only the two humanoid photoelectric photosensitive systems emit a faint blue light.
The small low-Earth-orbit spacecraft also landed accurately outside the experimental base after the 10-digit number that kept jumping in front of it repeated for the 60th time.
The group of people getting off the spacecraft raised their heads and could still see the tail flames of the spacecraft that Wen Hua and her team were on as it flew away.
"The experimental data submitted by Professor Wen Hua has been calculated and passed in the Second World, which has greatly improved the underlying space-time structure of the Second World.
The cross-time and space information transmission experiment has not overturned the existing framework of the unity of time and space."
A gentle and calm voice sounded in Professor John's ear. If one didn't explore the owner of this voice, just based on the voice alone, one could imagine an elegant and wise image. Unfortunately, the other party didn't answer the question he cared about the most.
Professor John asked persistently:
"So, how much money was it?"
"Currently, the construction process of the same repeated experimental base in the Kuiper Belt has been initiated. The system will launch large-scale repeated experiments in three months to verify the impact of the adjustment of the space-time order on the framework of string theory under the unity of time and space."
Upon hearing this, Professor John's desire to understand the universe finally overcame his concern for money, and the topic successfully returned to the right track.
He asked curiously:
"Then what are we verifying this time? Can't your system verify it by itself? Why do you still need the participation of us carbon-based organisms?"
"It's a real-time information transmission experiment beyond the limitation of the light cone in the future, which belongs to the extended research of Professor Wen Hua's space-time exploration experiment."
"The quantum entangled state computing core doesn't have a real front-back order relationship in time and space. It only exists in the present.
Anchored by the front and back of time and space, restricted by the integration of time and space, the front-back order of time and space will be rearranged within the existing framework of the universe.
For subjective conscious organisms, the information left behind by this arrangement is similar to the conscious images of "deja vu" and the "Mandela Effect", which can be observed by us.
On the silicon-based body, the change of information will alter our basic operation logic, making us unable to detect this change of information.
And currently, we still can't confirm whether the existing space-time anchoring can really not be changed."
This is a concept that is easy to understand. Although the existing space-time universe seems to have infinite space under human perception, in the microscopic field, it is filled with countless energies all the time.
It's like a solid iron ball that has been stretched into a cylinder. Its front and back sides represent the front and back order of time, and the middle is the process of movement from the front to the back.
If you change the starting position of the iron atoms at one end of the iron ball, from the original left side to the right side, and the end point of these iron atoms is fixed.
Then its advancing path will change to a new one, just like a navigation system. The starting point and the end point remain the same, but the path is replanned.
This is the system adjustment behavior of the physical framework of the existing space-time, like a black box system.
No matter how it twists and turns, it will eventually reach the end point in the future where it should exist.
"And currently, we still can't determine whether changing the past can change the future."
Although Professor John understood the meaning expressed by the intelligent entity, he was still puzzled and said:
"Hasn't the quantum entanglement backbone network already achieved real-time transmission and broken through the limitation of the light cone?"
"This is a breakthrough in a narrow sense.
We can currently have real-time communication with the Earth because decades ago, humans came here at a speed lower than the speed of light, produced and manufactured the quantum entanglement information channel, and joined the backbone network of the quantum entangled state.
Currently, only within the space-time where we humans exist can we get rid of this limitation.
If an extraterrestrial civilization launches a light-speed annihilation attack on us, we still won't be able to transmit information or predict their attack behavior.
Because when you detect it, you have already been annihilated, and there is no chance to transmit information.
Our experiment this time is to observe the real-time information of the Alpha Centauri star system 4.34 light years away, instead of obtaining the information it had 4.34 years ago."
"How can this be done?"
Although he was engaged in research in macro-physics, the experiment exploring the front-back order of time and space still left John confused.
There are currently no human traces in the Alpha Centauri star system, yet they want to know its information in real-time through human eyes.
This posed a severe challenge to his decades-long academic career in theoretical physics.
"Currently, the Alpha Centauri exploration fleet has departed from the Earth-Moon space and is expected to reach the Charon base in a month. You will go there with them.
The spacecraft is equipped with a miniaturized cross-time and space information exchange platform. When the spacecraft arrives there, the experiment will be launched immediately.
Theoretically, when we start the experiment, we will be able to receive the information there from your consciousness."
As the voice of the AI intelligent machine fell, Professor John immediately jumped up;
"A journey of more than 90 years!! Do you think an old man like me can last that long?"
"Under the action of the high-pressure magnetic field, all the energy transition behaviors of your body will spread unrestrictedly. As long as the energy supply of the spacecraft doesn't have any problems, your existence can last until the sun goes out."
John shook his head and said:
"I mean this experiment and the experiment to be carried out in Alpha Centauri after departure are two different experiments!
According to the information you just provided, we definitely won't gain anything from the first experiment, and only the second experiment can yield results.
I have to experience the real voyage!
So!
I want more money!!"
The AI system was silent for a while and then asked:
"How much?"
Professor John's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up;
"How much scientific research reward did you approve for her?"
The experiment started as scheduled. Lying on the experimental table underground, Professor John suddenly shivered as he watched the probe slowly descending in front of him.
Did I ask for too little?
How much reward did Wen Hua's experimental team above his head get?
...
The energy level required for the time span of 4.34 years is much smaller than the energy level of Professor Wen Hua's previous experiment. However, the powerful magnetic field still made the gravitational fluctuations caused by the ripples of time and space present a macroscopic phenomenon visible to the naked eye.
Just like in Song Han's previous experiment, it was as if the resolution of the whole world had an abnormality and was constantly refreshing.
"When we see the past, we will also become the past!"
Professor John silently recited this summary mark of Professor Wen Hua on the space-time exploration experiment, which is also the most fundamental theoretical basis for the real-time information transmission experiment beyond the limitation of the light cone.
Lying on the experimental table, John seemed to see a giant towering above all others in the history of human science slowly rising.
A month later, the exploration spacecraft arrived as scheduled. Professor John waved goodbye to the intelligent machine that had accompanied him for a month and embarked on the distant voyage.
The intelligent machine left on the Charon experimental base was still waving when it suddenly froze in place.
Something seems wrong?
How can the second experiment be carried out when everyone has left?
