Chapter 882 Negative Matter

Yes, it is only about explaining natural wormholes. Humans still need to continue to improve it in other aspects. Only when it can explain the phenomenon of the interaction of all four fundamental forces in the universe, can it be said to be truly mastered.

Of course, this process is complex and tortuous, because the interaction of the four fundamental forces creates the entire universe, and it is impossible for humans to complete the verification all at once.

Therefore, mastering the Theory of Everything is actually a process of continuous completion. It is more like a big framework of the interaction mechanism of the four fundamental forces.

From this perspective, if the four fundamental forces are the four supporting pillars of a house, then the entire house is the universe, and the floor, floor drain, toilet, wall, ceiling, decoration, furniture and everything else in the house are a complete system supported and extended by the four pillars.

These things are the various celestial bodies and physical phenomena in the universe of the house. For example, you can regard the toilet as an extreme celestial black hole, and all of these things are based on the system force supported by four pillars.

At that time, humans will be able to use the theory of everything to explain all physical phenomena that previous physics could not explain.

Including negative matter, negative energy, tachyons other than the type used for communication, dark matter, dark energy, as well as time, space and various unknown particles, and even spirit, consciousness, soul, and this kind of thing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Theory of Everything is the framework of the laws of the universe. It allows civilizations that truly master it to recognize the origin of all things in the universe, and to better understand the universe that gave birth to them, including the study of their own wisdom.

If other technical theories are like a glimpse of the leopard through a tube, helping a civilization see the leopard's stripes, legs, eyes, and fur, then the Theory of Everything is the leopard's skeleton, which allows civilization to know what the animal it has been observing for a long time is.

The current theoretical model of the universe is equivalent to drawing a four-legged creature on a piece of draft paper based on previous observations and imagination. Perhaps the animal drawn by humans has some partial leopard spots on its body, and it may have eyes on its head. It is unknown whether it has a tail or hair on its body.

Because these things require humans to find answers in future observations and research, and then add them in one stroke at a time.

This is like excavating ancient fossils. You thought you had dug up a shoe fossil, but it turned out to be a trilobite fossil. Well, there is also the restoration process of dinosaurs. At first, no one knew what it was, but finally a whole dinosaur skeleton was dug up and we knew it was an ancient giant. However, the dinosaurs restored from their skeleton fossils did not have hair in the early days. It was not until later that evidence of quill fossils was dug up that dinosaurs were given hair.

So the next step for humans to do is to detect, detect, and detect again.

Sending probes into natural wormholes has been put on the agenda.

There are all kinds of detectors, not only negative energy detectors, but also detectors equipped with various detection methods. As long as all the detection methods that human beings can master with existing technology are used, the more data the better.

As time goes by, humans have launched one detector after another into natural wormholes. Some are equipped with magnetic field shields, some with polarization shields, and some with force field shields. Each detector has its own mission. They either pass by the wormhole or rush directly into it.

In this process, humans gradually understood some of the characteristics of natural wormholes.

For example, humans have discovered that the entrance to a natural wormhole is indeed a dimensional entrance, but it is not a macroscopic high-dimensional one, but a certain distortion of three-dimensional space-time, a certain strange distortion of space-time formed under the action of the four fundamental forces. And all the detectors that humans have used to cross the wormhole entrance have lost contact, and humans cannot detect any information within the wormhole entrance, and cannot see what happened to the lost detectors, whether they were submerged by positive energy pulses, or successfully passed through the wormhole and went out from the other side.

Scientists don't know and have no way to detect it, but in the process, they have discovered some interesting phenomena. Every time a detector enters a wormhole, it will cause fluctuations in the wormhole's negative energy field, and this fluctuation can be easily detected by humans around the wormhole entrance.

Moreover, the intensity of the fluctuation is related to factors such as the size of the entering probe, the presence or absence of a shield, and the type of shield. Scientists have also done a lot of statistical data analysis in the hope of finding out what the probe experienced after entering the wormhole.

For humans, a probe entering a wormhole is like entering a black hole, which is a one-way trip. However, the results of the probe entering a wormhole are somewhat different from those of previous experiments conducted by humans at black holes. The most obvious difference is the time difference. Before falling into the event horizon of a black hole, the probe will experience a period of slowing down of its own time, but this does not happen at the wormhole.

This phenomenon proves that the critical surface of the wormhole entrance is not a gravitational field like a black hole. Although it looks like a celestial body, it does not show universal gravitation. In other words, it is more like an ordinary channel.

Therefore, scientists believe that human detectors were not destroyed because they were torn apart by the gravitational field. The reason for the loss of contact may be the positive energy pulse or the information transmission blocked by the space-time structure at the entrance of the wormhole dimension.

In addition, humans also saw something very interesting in the information sent back by the probe at the moment it lost contact. Those were very tiny crystals.

The crystal blocks come in all kinds of shapes and are extremely irregular. They are like the floating catkins seen by people with floaters. They can be seen at the entrance of the wormhole. At first, humans thought that there was something wrong with the detector, but it turned out not to be the case.

What's even more magical is that those crystals don't exist all the time. They appear and disappear, disappear and reappear, but they don't flicker. Instead, there is a process of change, just like ice crystals appearing in water and then disappearing. It's very magical.

After discovering this phenomenon, scientists were very curious about what it was. So after a lot of experimental detections, they found that there was attraction between the crystals, but it was very weak.

Then, the scientists spent decades conducting detailed data analysis on the movement trajectories of a large number of crystal blocks, and finally came to a gratifying conclusion that the mutual attraction between the crystal blocks satisfies the law that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

There seems to be a law similar to gravity between them.

But the amazing thing is that they show repulsion to human detectors. Whenever human detectors approach, they are repelled as if they encountered the same magnetic poles, but humans clearly cannot detect the existence of polar magnetic fields.

Scientists soon realized what those crystals were. If human theory was correct, they were negative matter, and only negative matter would repel positive matter.

This is a well-known fact. Negative matter is different from antimatter. Antimatter is a kind of positive matter, so it has gravity with itself, and the same is true for the matter we know. Negative matter has negative mass, and it has gravity with itself, but repulsion with matter.

However, after reaching this conclusion, scientists are faced with another problem: If they are negative matter, why do they appear and disappear like ice freezing and ice melting?
