Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1431 Different Research Perspectives
The key point is that some things cannot be discovered by a civilization that has not yet reached the corresponding level of technology or lacks the corresponding exploration capabilities.

Just as human civilization is currently experiencing a kind of microscopic disorientation, other races will not encounter it.

This will lead to unseen gaps in the exploration of technology by civilizations composed of different races. The reason for pooling our wisdom and efforts is to fill these gaps and to explore the full picture of unknown truths as much as possible.

This is the original intention behind the need for technological exchanges among civilizations.

They all realized that even if they reached the right place, they might not be able to find the right answer on their own, and even if their civilization had the potential to find the right answer, they would not be able to find it within the limited time.

The present cannot replace the past.

These civilizations were confident in themselves, believing that if given the same amount of time as the previous generation of explorers, they would be able to master vacuum zero-point energy before their resources and energy were exhausted.

However, everyone now realizes that they only have 1.3 million years left, or rather, less than 1.3 million years left.

Beyond this time, all civilizations will be forced to withdraw from the region most suitable for studying vacuum zero-point energy. Since they failed even in the most suitable location, how could they possibly succeed after leaving?

There are only 1.25 million years left now.

Yes, 50,000 years have passed since various civilizations began to conduct comprehensive research.

Fifty thousand years is enough for intelligent life on planets to go through several cycles of reincarnation, enough for the transmission of civilizations to be severed and for writing systems that once represented civilizations to be buried deep in the earth. But in the cosmic age, a person's life is less than a tenth of its span, and from the perspective of the development of civilization, it is merely a fleeting moment.

And at this time, it was time for the 84 civilizations to carry out scientific and technological exchanges.

When this day arrives, scientific teams from each civilization, as always, bring their research findings and enter a specially designed virtual meeting hall to exchange ideas with scientific teams from other civilizations.

This meeting was not a domestic affairs meeting, but a pure exchange of scientific research progress. However, it was not only the team of scientists who attended, but also the leadership teams of various civilizations.

Take human civilization as an example. Yue Yuan participates in every event because he is not only the leader of human civilization, but also an advisor to many research teams.

It must be said that living a long life is also an advantage, which allowed Yue Yuan to accumulate a great deal of knowledge.

Other civilizations cannot be examined using the same perspective humans have, because some civilizations do not distinguish between professions such as leaders, political positions, engineers, and scientists. Each individual in these civilizations is a being who possesses skills in various fields, and they are the awakeners.

Whether it was warfare, construction, or research, the Awakeners were proficient in everything. However, not all of them attended the meeting; instead, the Awakener Huan led a group of representatives. After the meeting began, representatives from the scientific communities of various civilizations took turns speaking, explaining their development history and research progress over the past ten thousand years. This was to inform other civilizations and also to summarize their own scientific development.

"The idea that particles can branch and jump led scientific civilization into the realm of quantum field theory, and jumping and branching are almost everything in quantum field theory. However, our previous research on mass has not made much progress."

After all the civilizations had presented their research progress, the scientific team of the Divine Mole Civilization spoke last, introducing their research progress and exploration angles over the years.

“We explore the problem from the perspective of mass. Everyone knows that a vacuum is not empty. What this statement leads to is that a vacuum is just a bubbling soup of matter and antimatter being created and annihilated. If this is the case, then all elementary particles will still maintain zero mass, because the quantum circle itself does not provide mass.”

"But our world has mass, and the phenomenon of its existence is spacetime curvature. Our Divine Moment civilization explores it through the spacetime curvature force we control, gravity. We use gravity as a tool, making it into a 'gravity probe,' to enter the world of mass and search for the principles of the Higgs mechanism."

The representative of the Divine Ju Civilization's scientific team floated in mid-air like a ghost, continuing to explain to all the civilizations present: "We believe that since spacetime tells matter how to move, and matter tells spacetime how to bend, and the Higgs mechanism is the cause of mass, then even if spacetime where no matter is seen is bent, then the Higgs mechanism must have appeared."

"They must have some kind of intrinsic connection. If we can find the mechanism by which they interact, we may be able to follow the clues and find out how the vacuum zero point works at the bottom of the universe. Because we believe that there was a moment in the early history of the universe when quantum fluctuations and the Higgs mechanism interacted. We are currently using our unique technology to reconstruct that process and find the laws governing their interaction."

"Well, in some of your civilizations' theories of cosmic evolution, this kind of thing is described as a remnant of the cosmic phase transition, which is actually not wrong. We believe that during the expansion and cooling of the hot particle gas in the nascent universe, the vacuum without Higgs particles was at an energy disadvantage, so the vacuum filled with Higgs particles became the natural state."

"So now, whenever spacetime is deformed, distorted, or turbulent, the Higgs mechanism must be involved. When we distort spacetime, the Higgs particle will appear, just like the 'sudden appearance' process of water droplets condensing on glass."

"In the high-temperature phase following the Big Bang, the fleeting quantum fluctuations in the vacuum boiled and churned, and particles and antiparticles came into existence and returned to nothingness. All of these bear the shadow of the Higgs mechanism. But we also know that the Higgs mechanism is not everything that determines mass. If we study it from this perspective, we may not be able to see the whole picture of vacuum quantum fluctuations, but we believe that it must be part of the entire vacuum zero-point energy technology tree."

It must be said that the representative of the Divine Ju civilization was right; no civilization dares to claim that its research is necessarily correct.

The Higgs mechanism also cannot explain all mass issues; for example, most of the mass of protons and neutrons is not common to the Higgs mechanism.

Their mass comes from the "quark-gluon condensation phenomenon".

The Divine Ju civilization knew that its research was incomplete, but it still persisted, indicating that it intended to continue to deepen its research along its unique technological path.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Divine Ju civilization will definitely go all out to explore the various intrinsic properties of quarks, electrons, muons, taurines, and W and Z bosons.
