Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 250 Dark Matter

In the quiet space.

The blood relatives of the ethnic group who set off for the Rs23 galaxy first did not enter a dormant state like the intelligent life forms of the Meridian civilization. For the blood relatives of the ethnic group, decades of life are nothing.

So far, the blood relatives with the longest lifespan among the blood relatives of the entire group are undoubtedly the blood relatives of the former deep sea warriors.

He is hundreds of years old and still chooses to run around in space.

He seems to have unlimited energy.

"Our voyage will last 31 years. During these 31 years, if any blood relatives need to hibernate, they can hibernate themselves. Unless there is an emergency, we generally will not wake you up."

Hearing the captain assigned by the ethnic group consciousness say such words, the blood relatives of the other ethnic groups smiled subconsciously.

This new captain comes from the Medi civilization. Even after so many years of integration, he still unconsciously revealed his past after returning to the space ship he was familiar with.

Of course, the blood relatives of the ethnic group didn't say anything. After all, this can be said to be a kind of concern.

Time flies.

The tenth year after the departure of the Rs23 galaxy group fleet.

The technology related to the production of antimatter fuel among the ethnic group has been improved again, and the ethnic group has completed the production and extraction process of anti-carbon atoms.

The use of antimatter energy increases further.

In the same year, researchers accidentally observed the existence of dark matter in an experiment.

After that, some researchers began to study dark matter.

When the Rs23 galaxy group fleet arrived at the edge of the Rs23 galaxy, the group's researchers had already found a way to observe dark matter.

gravitational!

All matter has mass, and gravity exists when mass exists.

Dark matter also has mass!
According to the conjecture given by ethnic researchers, the mass of all the matter inside the galaxy is actually not enough to achieve such a stable state of the galaxy.

Moreover, the estimated combined mass of all celestial objects, gas, and interstellar matter in the Moan Galaxy is actually different from the estimated mass of the Moan Galaxy itself.

And the gap is still huge.

In other words, there is an unknown substance existing throughout the galaxy.

They are evenly distributed throughout the galaxy, and they form a major part of the galaxy.

dark matter.

This substance originally existed in speculation.

A substance that is only related to gravity.

When more technologically advanced gravitational lenses were sent into the universe and began to observe this cosmic space, the researchers of the tribe quickly discovered the three-dimensionality of space.

The three-dimensionality of space simply means that the universe is not a flat plane, not the broad road in imagination, but a plane with ups and downs.

Just like everyone knows that a straight line is the shortest between two places, but on this straight road, there are ups and downs of mountains.

The distance we need to travel is actually still very long.

Generally speaking, the closer you get to a massive celestial body, the straighter the space will be stretched, and all the ups and downs will disappear.

Just like when a sphere with a large enough mass is placed on a trampoline, the surface of the trampoline will be straightened.

And this three-dimensionality of space actually proves the existence of dark matter.

Because quality affects space.

And in an empty interstellar environment without massive celestial bodies, how would these spaces become like this?The answer is dark matter.

Although the current observations are only in the preliminary stage, that is to say, they only confirm the existence of dark matter through the three-dimensionality of space, it also lays the foundation for the group to enter the next stage.

Through gravitational lenses, community researchers understand more and more about gravity while observing the three-dimensionality of the universe.

Understanding gravity is an inevitable process.

At the same time, as the group's understanding of gravity deepened, the group thought of how to break through the limitations of the theory of relativity and reach the speed of light.

According to the theory of relativity, objects cannot reach the speed of light, and when an object approaches the speed of light, the time it experiences becomes slower.

In other words, if space navigation is carried out at the ultimate sub-light speed, no matter how many light-years the ship travels through space, the time it experiences will be almost the same as an instant.

This includes people on the ship.

But for the rest, hundreds of years may have passed.

Just like when the light of a star comes to you across a distance of millions of light years, what you see is actually it millions of years ago, not what it is now. But in fact, it has experienced hundreds of years now. Ten thousand years of time.

It seems that at this moment, traveling through time is real.

But let alone the theoretical limit of sub-light speed, even 80% of sub-light speed is a speed that is difficult to surpass.

So, how to avoid the theory of relativity?

In fact, it is very simple to say, just avoid the theory of relativity.

But you need to have a certain ability to circumvent it!
In the idea of ​​ethnic blood relatives, they proposed a method called space curvature super-light navigation, or warp speed navigation for short.

Since space is three-dimensional, let's distort the space more thoroughly and directly drag the entire ship!

At the same time, because the curvature of space is changed, the place where the space tension becomes smaller will be pulled forward by the front where the space tension is greater. In this way, the space will support the ship to move forward.

Therefore, during warp navigation, it is not the spacecraft that is moving, but space, and the speed of the spacecraft is actually zero.

At the same time, there is no speed limit in space, so space can exceed the speed of light.

The time shortening problem mentioned before has naturally been solved.

Because what is moving is space, the moving speed of the spacecraft is naturally zero, which means that the object itself is not moving, so the object will naturally not produce relativistic effects.

Therefore, when traveling at warp speed, the time flow rate of the object is still consistent with the time flow rate of the universe.

This situation is the perfect interstellar voyage in space navigation.

Because of the consistency of time, communication of information can be guaranteed.

It was impossible to experience a momentary cross-galactic voyage, only to find that his mother civilization sent him a message - "Danger! Return quickly!".

As a result, after he experienced another moment of traveling across galaxies, he discovered that his mother civilization had been destroyed hundreds of years ago.

At the same time, no one can guarantee whether this behavior of stealing time will cause problems for the organism itself.

For creatures with fragile bodies, their bodies may not be able to withstand space navigation at the extreme sub-light speed.

No spacecraft can even travel at such speeds.

But all in all.

It is impossible for the tribe to move forward on this path.

The most perfect model has already appeared in the minds of researchers, so why spend energy studying the possibility that is doomed to fail at this stage?
