Chapter 645 The Prototype of Theory

Starting from the D0 brane, we talked about the discovery of tachyons through the annihilation of D0-brane and anti-D0 brane, and then went back to talk about string theory from the tachyons. Then, starting from string theory, we talked about the interaction between the D0-brane described in it, and then explained what step humans can achieve with today's scientific and technological strength and what step they cannot achieve.

This scientist, who is only over 2,000 years old, introduced to the audience, sentence by sentence, in an easy-to-understand manner, the views held by himself and his team, as well as the related experiments that his team plans to conduct next using an astronomical-grade particle collider.

As he spoke, the audience gradually understood the intricate relationship between warp speed, space-time, D0-brane, tachyons, string theory, and the grand unified theory in his description.

"Let's put this in a more reasonable way. Consider that there are three million D0-branes, one on top of the other, and then there is an independent D0-brane moving near them." The scientist raised his hand and pointed to the animation on the big screen behind him that was demonstrating the relative motion of each D0-brane, and continued:

"This independent D0-brane feels neither attraction nor repulsion, but this is actually worth considering. Because if this D0-brane is not moving, then it will not feel any net force. If it moves, then it will feel the tiny pull of other membranes."

"Similarly, this pulling force can prevent these millions of D0-branes from moving apart, but the situation is very different for an anti-D0-brane, which can be attracted by both gravity and electrostatic forces, as I just said.
When it is very close to this large cluster of millions of D0-branes, no physical process can make it escape, which is actually the concept of the black hole horizon. But it should be noted that it is not a real black hole, so naturally there is no such thing as "we have created a black hole engine".

The reason is that the so-called horizon formed by the space-time distortion generated by the interaction of this D0-brane has a temperature of zero degrees. Zero degrees is not absolute zero. It is a bit difficult to explain. We generally use thermodynamic concepts and properties to describe it, with thermal energy and without thermal energy."

"Everyone, look here." After the images on the big screen were synchronized, the scientist pointed to three sets of comparison pictures and said, "This is a cluster of D0-branes with thermal energy. Its thermal motion will form a horizon, which we call a black D0-brane. This horizon can be used to describe its thermal properties.

The one below is three D3-branes stacked up layer by layer. The strings between the membranes behave like gluons and can also provide thermal energy. After they interact with each other to form a black D3-brane, they also show a constant distortion phenomenon, and are stronger than the black D0-brane.

Well, there is also the following diagram of the interaction of millions of D0-branes. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the warp speed navigation mastered by the fourth-level civilization should be achieved by the space-time distortion generated by this phenomenon. "

"It is worth noting that the temperature I just mentioned is zero degrees. Why do we say that it becomes a black membrane with an event horizon instead of a real black hole? Because from a thermal point of view, it is related to the behavior of an independent D0-membrane. It cannot feel any net force from the large cluster of membranes.
We also found that this absence of any forces is closely related to the zero temperature, both of which are guaranteed by supersymmetry. And we also know that such a large cluster of D0-branes is stable, they cannot decay into anything else.

When they are close to each other and interact with each other, they can only oscillate, just like the thermal oscillation of atoms in a large piece of coal. I believe everyone has not forgotten that thermal oscillation can be expressed as energy using the formula E=. And energy can be calculated from its total mass through E=mc squared.
Mass and space-time are closely connected, and we believe that the mass change caused by the disturbance of the Higgs mechanism during the experiment is likely to act on space-time through a series of changes, and its application in space-time is a technology that can only be mastered by a Level 4 civilization, warp speed navigation technology. "

Wow, from the relationship between D0-branes and D0-branes, D0-branes and anti-D0-branes, he introduced the Higgs mechanism, time distortion, mass change, membrane oscillation, quantum fluctuations, and then related them to the concept of horizon and thermodynamics, and then their relationship with the collision experiment from the perspective of string theory, and finally introduced the relationship between these various related things and the tachyons, warp speeds, and the grand unified theory that humans are currently exploring. It seemed flawless from beginning to end, as if the correct theory should be like this, and everyone present couldn't help but agree with this point of view.

Yue Yuan, who was sitting somewhere in the conference room and listening, also nodded secretly. He very much hoped that this theory was correct, because it seemed to really explain why the principle of warp speed could be realized after the three basic forces of strong interaction, weak interaction, and electromagnetic force were unified into a grand unified force.

This is a path that has never been thought of before. It seems to self-consistently explain the source of energy that distorts space-time without the participation of strong gravitational sources such as massive black holes.

Moreover, scientists have discovered through theoretical calculations that the energy level of this energy source is exactly the energy level produced by the annihilation of antimatter and matter.

In fact, according to some other theories of mankind, it is also said that negative energy must be present to distort time and space and achieve warp speed travel. However, the pioneers have clearly stated that negative energy-related technologies can only be mastered by a level five civilization. Its basic power is the theory of everything, that is, the theory of everything that truly unifies the four fundamental forces.

At this stage, it is completely impossible for humans to master it, so many scientists have actually begun to believe in this theory. If we can design experiments to prove the theory in astronomical particle collider collision experiments, then this theory will undoubtedly become the prototype of mankind's search for a grand unified theory.

By then, by following the clues, humans only need to spend time tinkering and will most likely find the simplest formula of the grand unified theory, which means actually mastering the grand unified theory.

Such experimental discoveries and research seem to have a sense of reverse search, which is a bit different from the previous process of first discovering theory and then discovering derivative technologies. However, scientists do not care. As long as the ultimate goal is achieved, mankind can break through the barriers and finally master the grand unified theory and become a Level 4 civilization.

In the conference hall, the scientist was still stating his views nonstop. At the end, as everyone expected, he began to represent his team and talk about the specific operations of his scientific team on the issue of "experimental design proof" and the next planned experimental time.

It seems that this scientific research team is going to really make an effort.

I hope they are on the right path, then there will be hope for the grand unified theory. Yue Yuanxin said as he listened quietly in the conference hall.
