Chapter 642 Tachyon Hypothesis
"The explanation is this." Liu Miyan looked at the manuscript, and then continued to answer the scientist who exclaimed, he said: "It is supersymmetry. As we all know, physicists in the Earth era like to use supersymmetry to describe the physics of large particle colliders.

The amazing predictions of supersymmetry have been verified step by step, indicating its correctness in a certain field. As we know, every particle has a new particle corresponding to it with exactly the same mass and charge, roughly the same interaction strength, but different spin. "

After hearing Liu Miyan’s speech, the conference room of the summary meeting suddenly became quiet.

Then Liu Miyan's loud voice echoed in the conference room again: "Supersymmetry predicts the existence of super electrons. Similar ones include super photons, super quarks, super gluons, super neutrinos, and super gravitons. Even the Higgs particle will have a supersymmetric particle, which we generally call the super Higgs particle."

Everyone listened carefully, but every scientist knows that supersymmetry theory is not strictly correct and has its scope of application. Now that it is used to explain the physics in the collider, it means that the scholars who put forward this view believe that supersymmetry applies to this scope.

However, what Liu Miyan said next made everyone fall into deep thought.

"It's one thing for a particle to have a mass that's in the region of astronomical particle collider energies, and it's another to actually detect it. That's because it's difficult to comb through the garbage produced by the collision, and it's even more difficult to reconstruct what happened."

"In fact, according to the records we have stored, we can see that in the Earth era, trillion-volt accelerators can produce Higgs bosons, but it is too difficult to reconstruct them through experimental data, not to mention our astronomical particle collider with an energy level of 10 to the 15th power of GeV electron volts, so that it is almost impossible for us to reconstruct the process of 'what happened'. We can only peek into that process through the garbage they collide with.

This results in us not being able to accurately measure the physical processes in the energy environment using the data captured by various detectors, but the mass-energy conservation calculation method we use still uses the original method, which inevitably leads to deviations, so that we think we are all right. "

It can be seen that Liu Miyan supports analyzing the experimental results from the perspective of string theory. He continued: "From this mathematical process, we can see that many supersymmetric theories predict that they will undergo a spectacular decay chain. It should be relatively easy to pick data from here.

For example, in some chain decay processes, a supergluon will convert part of its static energy into a superparticle of another type, and then this new superparticle will convert part of its static energy into another superparticle in the same way.

After a few such steps, we will get a lightest superparticle, which we generally think will not be able to decay further, but it will escape in some unknown way and will not be detected by us. "

"If this conclusion is correct, then what we detect in the detectors of astronomical particle colliders will not be superparticles, but the particles emitted by them during their decay to the lightest superparticles, and we suspect that there may be some products among those particles that we cannot detect.

It is those products that deceived us, making us think that the mass-energy is still conserved before and after the experiment, but in fact they have quietly escaped and can deceive our detectors. We think that it should be the fluctuation caused by some kind of Higgs particle and its superpartner in a certain process.
This fluctuation can disrupt the detector's detection mechanism of mass and energy. After all, detection itself is also an interaction. As for the particle that we cannot detect, I will make a guess here. I think it should be some kind of tachyon. "

Tachyon! Some kind of tachyon!
As soon as Liu Miyan said this, all the scientists in the conference room understood his point of view. Obviously, Liu Miyan believed that the tachyons were to blame, and he also believed that there was more than one kind of tachyons, otherwise he would not have said something like "a certain kind of tachyon".

Some people know that the core component of long-distance communication that was traded from the interstellar trading market pretended by the Red Flame Civilization is said to be a negative mass generator. Negative mass and long-distance communication, isn’t that what Liu Miyan is talking about now?

Did Liu Miyan dismantle the long-distance communication core together with the engineering department? Some researchers had such thoughts in their minds. They were right. Liu Miyan did dismantle the long-distance communication core together with Yu Nanfeng from the engineering department. If it was before, they would never understand the function and purpose of each structure of the so-called fourth-level civilization creation, but now they understand a little.

At least they found that there were some structures in this core that were similar to some parts of the warp engine in the human warehouse. After years of research, they concluded that it was the core structure for energy to do work.

Through comparing his discoveries with the data obtained from the Chiyan civilization, Liu Miyan dared to say that what was produced by the long-distance communication core might be some kind of tachyon.

The mass of tachyons is negative, and the masses of different types of tachyons are also different. They are all superluminal particles, and the speed at which they gain energy becomes slower and slower. When they gain infinite energy, their speed will drop to the speed of light, and they may even turn into photons.

It would take infinite energy to slow it down to the speed of light, which means it is impossible for it to slow down to the speed of light, after all, its mass is negative.

Exactly the opposite of what everyone in this universe knows, if you add energy to a particle with positive mass, it will accelerate, but it will never reach the speed of light because reaching the speed of light requires providing it with infinite energy.

Combining the core of long-distance communication and the mass change obtained from string theory, Liu Miyan believed that some kind of tachyon that can be used for long-distance communication was to blame.

From the perspective of detection, with current human detection methods, it is indeed impossible to detect tachyons.

In other words, in astronomical collision experiments, this type of tachyon is produced in every collision, but humans have never been able to detect it. The physical process disrupted by the Higgs mechanism produced by the collision process makes it impossible for human detectors to detect the changing mass.

If this is true, then the barriers of the fourth-level civilization are really strong, and it is almost unsolvable for a normally developing civilization.

Because there are many barriers here. One is the construction of an astronomical-grade particle collider, which requires this civilization to reach the peak of level three and achieve independent manufacturing of strong artificial intelligence, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a strong industrial capability.

Secondly, if this civilization wants to detect tachyons, it must have level-four civilization technology. But how can it have level-four civilization detection technology if it has not reached level-four civilization!

Third, this civilization must have a theory related to tachyons, otherwise it would never be able to think of this.
