Chapter 273 Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Ethnic calendar year 1075.

Rs23 Galaxy Dark Matter Experiment Base.

In the middle of a large instrument ten meters high, four robotic arms tightly clamped a ball-shaped device the size of a human head.

There is a transparent mass suspended inside the spherical device at the moment.

dark matter.

The gravitational field inside the device tightly binds this transparent substance, preventing it from disappearing into the space according to its own properties.

Surrounding this mass of dark matter, many ethnic researchers are busy at the moment.

There are many such large-scale instruments in the entire dark matter experimental base.

There are even two dark matter experimental bases.

Resources are meant to be used. Keeping excess resources will be useless. It is better to use them directly to study dark matter.

It is too shabby for a group of researchers to use one instrument.

So Yuan just waved his hand and made a few more!
The effect of spending resources is very obvious.

The community is growing rapidly in the progress of dark matter research.

At the same time, the group has also done some research on some derivative technologies related to dark matter.

Anything related to dark matter must belong to dark energy.

Although dark energy can also be detected through gravity, compared with dark matter, the detection method of gravity is obviously a bit lower-level.

As a component of two-thirds of the universe, dark energy is obviously more suitable as a source of energy than antimatter.

But in fact it is not so.

Dark energy is not a suitable source of energy.

Although according to the calculations of ethnic researchers, dark matter accounts for nearly 90.00% of the matter content in the universe, which seems to be much more than dark energy. In fact, the universe is composed of two-thirds of dark energy and one-third of dark energy. material composition.

Dark matter is in that third.

But even so, at least at this stage, dark energy is not a suitable energy source at all.

First of all, the amount of dark energy in the Moan Galaxy is not actually comparable to dark matter.

In galaxies like the Moan Galaxy, dark matter is dominant.

Dark energy is mostly stored in the entire universe, while dark matter is mostly stored in galaxies.

If gravity pulls the celestial bodies together in the galaxy, then dark matter is like a huge ball of glue, firmly binding these celestial bodies in the galaxy.

Outside the galaxy, in the more empty space of the universe, dark energy and gravity drive the expansion of the universe.

Therefore, if it is to be used as an energy source, dark matter is definitely more ideal when it is in a galaxy. But the research on dark energy will not stop.

Although there are not many dark energy reserves in galaxies, dark matter and dark energy are in a state of interrelation.

"We all know that a galaxy is not just a separate existence. For example, the Rt35 galaxy is actually just a small star system in the Moan galaxy. The Rt35 galaxy, the Rt34 galaxy, and the Rs23 galaxy surround the Moan galaxy. The black hole at the center of the galaxy rotates. And above the Moan Galaxy, the Daqin Galaxy Cluster."

"In addition, there are the Daqin supercluster, which is dominated by the Daqin galaxy cluster, the Winged galaxy cluster, the Eagle galaxy cluster and other small galaxy structures, all the way to the Nekara supercluster."

After drawing a rough schematic diagram of the super galaxy cluster structure on the information screen, the group researcher drew a circle around the entire super galaxy cluster: "This is a complete galaxy structure."

"And what we call dark matter actually exists in such an entire area, not just in a single galaxy. Here, here, here, these are in the interstellar space in super galaxy clusters , dark matter also exists, although it may not be as abundant as in galaxies, but it is still abundant."

Researchers have drawn symbols belonging to dark matter one after another in the gaps of super galaxy clusters.

Then, he controlled the information screen to shrink, and drew another super galaxy cluster next to this super galaxy cluster.

"What we call the scarcity of dark matter in galactic space actually refers to this area. We can think that this area is dominated by dark energy."

"And now, we have discovered in our research." The researchers drew several shrinking arrows in the gaps between the two super galaxy clusters' own structures, and also drew expansion arrows in the gaps between the two super galaxy clusters.

"The supercluster itself is in a state of contraction, while adjacent superclusters are expanding."

"Through calculations, we found that the mass of the super galaxy cluster itself is actually in a state of decline. We believe that this decline is not due to galaxy collisions or celestial body collisions. After all, the material ejected by the impact no matter how far it is ejected. , it is impossible to escape from the super galaxy cluster itself."

"So we believe that the mass loss caused by the contraction of super galaxy clusters is actually due to the disappearance of dark matter."

"Dark matter disappears, which means that the matter that maintains the structure of galaxies disappears. Therefore, under the influence of the super galaxy cluster's own giant attraction source, the matter in the entire super galaxy cluster will get closer and closer."

"And how does dark matter disappear? See here."

The researcher points to the side at the expanding arrow.

"Dark energy, dark energy is consuming dark matter. Of course, we can also say that dark matter is constantly transforming into dark energy for some reason we don't know. And dark energy is the main energy driving the expansion of the universe, so this also leads to The universe is constantly expanding."

"Dark matter can be transformed into dark energy, dark energy can affect gravity, changes in gravity can affect space, and the curvature of space can allow us to break through the speed of light!"

"We already have the technology to capture dark matter. Now what we need to know is the reason why dark matter is converted into dark energy. Find this reason and then increase it so that dark matter can be quickly converted into dark energy. In this way, dark matter can become our The next energy source.”

Although the energy provided by antimatter is huge enough, and the more massive the antimatter atom is, the greater the energy it can provide when it is annihilated, but the most important thing in using antimatter energy is how to create antimatter.

The process of creating antimatter also requires a large amount of energy.

At the same time, even if pure antimatter celestial bodies exist in the universe, they are unlikely to be common.

And even if they are found, how to collect these antimatter objects is still a huge problem.

Although the ethnic group currently uses stellar energy as energy expenditure in this area, if this part of the stellar energy can be saved, it can also be used as an energy source for the ethnic group.

Moreover, the dark energy converted from dark matter is just right for affecting gravity.

Even if it is easy to obtain and can better serve as an energy source for the curvature engine, why bother with antimatter?
