Chapter 835 New Technological Barrier
As far as the current situation is concerned, humanity as a whole is still developing in a good direction, and Yue Yuan is not impatient. Many things can be done slowly.

As technology advances, new problems will always appear that cannot be solved now, and new problems will replace old ones. For example, the problems caused by the life-span medicine policy will be quickly improved as long as a new generation of life medicine appears.

Because the longer a person lives, the more he wants to live. Longevity is a torture for one person, but when the whole is long-lived, the individual will not feel lonely. Then the new life potion is the driving force, the people who work hard to contribute to the entire civilized society and the people who only enjoy themselves.

Fairness on one aspect will lead to unfairness on another aspect. The human social system in the interstellar era is not static. It will change with the passage of time and the changes brought about by technological progress. The new government has also been adhering to this principle.

The reason is simple, but we hope that mankind will continue to progress, continue to progress, reach the standards of long-distance voyages, and explore more unknowns of the universe.

The starry sky is so vast and beautiful, the universe is so vast and fascinating. There is no telling how many secrets and unsolved mysteries are hidden there. The pace of progress of human civilization cannot stop.

Time flies, but appearance remains unchanged.

Decade after decade, a sixty-year cycle has passed, and humans have once again set foot on the starry sky and headed for one unknown shore after another. Humans seem to be very lucky to have avoided the sight of that unknown level five civilization.

Maybe that evil level 5 civilization never looked for humans. Who knows? Anyway, humans did not encounter any pursuers. Maybe because of the war between level 6 civilizations, that evil level 5 civilization was also dragged into the war and perished.

If that were the case, what Adley said would be alarmist, but humans dare not take the risk.

Under such circumstances, humans once again flew across the vast sea of ​​stars and arrived at a new star field.

As a nomadic civilization cluster, humans and the Star Alliance led by them do not have a fixed destination, so humans often decide on their destination for another journey after docking.

In this way, human navigation routes are full of randomness.

Along the way, humans have encountered some strange cosmic phenomena, and have stopped to conduct a lot of research and achieved some results. All of these things are things that improve the foundation of human civilization.

Perhaps in the future it is because of these inconspicuous observations and research that humans will be able to solve problems faster than other civilizations when they encounter difficulties, and being one step faster sometimes means victory.

Unfortunately, mankind is still yearning for the fifth-level civilization, and the theory of everything is still like a high wall with no end in sight for mankind.

Human scientists have long been prepared, but they did not expect that the technological barriers this time would be so thick and confusing. This is when humans know that the symbol of Level 5 civilization is the Theory of Everything and that the Theory of Everything is the complete unification of the four fundamental forces.

I can't imagine how lost those civilizations that knew nothing before would be when they encountered this technological barrier. In short, it is not an exaggeration to describe the entire human race and even all the scientists of the Star Alliance as having no clue at all. They really have no clue.

During these interstellar voyages, the Star Alliance led by human civilization has never stopped exploring the theory of everything, but the results are always disappointing.

It is true that a Level-IV civilization has already achieved warp travel, but the technology used to achieve warp travel does not include gravity technology. Instead, it is a grand unified force field that has the equivalent effect of bending space-time. However, the grand unified force field can achieve warp travel and can also derive a force field shield, but it is fundamentally different from the gravity of the four fundamental forces.

Humans have also thought about building more powerful particle colliders to study the theory of everything, but this time is different from the past. Humans cannot build such a long and large collider. Because in terms of theoretical calculations, if you want to verify the unity of electromagnetic force, strong force, weak force, and gravity, the energy level required will reach 10∧19Gev. To achieve this energy level, the diameter of the accelerator needs to be billion light years, if a circular accelerator is used.

1000 billion light years! The known diameter of the universe is only 930 billion light years. It is hopeless to think about building such a large accelerator. It can be said that the path of continuing to build larger and more powerful accelerators is definitely not feasible, because a level civilization cannot build such a large accelerator, and the existence of a level civilization is a fact.

But this is not the key point. The biggest difficulty facing mankind now is not that super particle accelerators cannot be manufactured, but that the first step cannot be achieved, that is, to find gravitons. If you want to verify the unity of the four fundamental forces, you must first find gravitons.

If the standard particle model of mankind is correct, then human civilization has not taken the first step.

It's funny to say that when human scientists were trying to break through the technological barriers of the fourth-level civilization, they hoped that the standard particle model established by human civilization was correct, and now they hope that the standard particle model is wrong.

Because the conditions for realizing the theory of everything, such as energy level requirements, accelerator manufacturing requirements, graviton discovery, etc., are all inferred based on the standard model.

If the standard model is correct, then it is impossible to achieve it with the current human capabilities. But when we successfully break through to the fourth-level civilization, the universe tells humans clearly: your standard particle model is correct!

How desperate this is.

Of course, scientists are not stubborn. They soon realized the problem, which is that the current standard particle model of mankind is not completely correct. If it can really help mankind realize the theory of everything, then it should still be supplemented and improved.

So if humans were to study the theory of everything in this direction, the first step should not be to think about a particle accelerator that is too large to be manufactured, but rather how to improve the standard particle model.

Another possibility is that the standard model is correct, but it cannot solve the problem, and humans need to break through this technological barrier from other directions.

So what is the direction?

Scientists of the basic theories of the Earth era have long given their answers, including M theory, supersymmetry theory, string theory, superstring theory, hyperdimensional space theory, attempts to quantize gravity, etc. These are all theories that humans have tried to establish beyond the standard model.

Humans try to use them to solve physical phenomena that the standard model cannot explain, such as the mass hierarchy problem, the dark matter problem, and the incompatibility between gravity and quantum mechanics.

Humans don't have to stick to the standard particle model.

A theory may seem correct, and in fact it is correct, but in the end it is only correct in a limited sense, and cannot explain all physical phenomena in the universe. For example, Newton's three laws of motion are correct, but they are only correct in the field of classical mechanics.

Human scientists now think that this may be the case with the standard particle model established by human civilization.
