Volume 4: Spacetime Singularity Chapter 10 Time Stops!
"After careful consideration, we decided to activate the space weapon to freeze the time of the Earth.. "
You? Are there other aliens besides Keats? How many eyes in the universe are staring at the earth?
"Excuse me ...can you explain this freeze?"
"I know that there is special relativity in the human scientific paradigm. You should have also learned about it, right? When the speed of an object relative to the ground reference system is close to the speed of light, its time will almost stop for people who are stationary relative to the ground reference system."
"I understand that... but... the Earth moving at that speed will have a very strong impact on other planets in the solar system... Can humans still survive there?"
silence.
"And...how much acceleration and how long does it take to accelerate to near the speed of light ? If it is accelerated by 10G, which is about 100m/s^2, then accelerating to three times ten eighth meters per second will take about..."
Fang Cheng quickly calculated in his head: 300000000÷100÷3600÷24=34.7222 (days).
"That is to say... the entire Earth will be subjected to an acceleration of 10G for more than a month..."
Still silence.
"…I'm sorry if I asked too many questions…"
"It's okay. I was just thinking about how to explain it to you more intuitively."
Keats actually didn't mind Fang Cheng asking him questions. In fact, the same quality as strong curiosity made him feel that there was some kind of faint resonance between him and human beings.
Curiosity about the universe is the source of science. It is the insignificant questions raised by these insignificant carbon-based creatures that allow interstellar observers on the cold edge of civilization to feel the warmth of a ray of rationality.
"Have you ever heard of M-theory? It's also something in the human scientific paradigm."
"If you're talking about superstring theory... I've heard of this term..."
"Simply put, M theory believes that the four-dimensional space-time you live in is just a membrane on a higher dimension. According to regulations, I cannot tell you whether this theory is correct, but I can borrow its ideas to briefly explain to you the principle of time stopping."
Fang Cheng bit his lip hard, forcing himself to concentrate and listen carefully.
"You can think of it this way. If we ignore the time dimension, the three-dimensional space can be regarded as a one-dimensional straight line. Our space weapons will create another closed curved three-dimensional space that can be regarded as a closed circle. The world line you are in is perpendicular to the plane where the circle is located."
The young humans on Earth now dare not say a word, but just try their best to imagine in their minds.
"You can call this circle a pocket space. It's easy to imagine geometrically. Through some design, I can make the line where the earth is located intersect this circle at one and only one point."
This graphic is indeed quite intuitive.
"We then spin the circle about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the circle, so that the edge of the circle reaches speeds close to the speed of light."
"Wait a minute... How does space define angular momentum? It seems that space cannot even define speed, right?"
v=dx/dt, what is this x for space? ?
"This... your scientific paradigm really cannot understand it. According to the regulations, I cannot tell you."
"……All right."
It seems that every time the aliens stop talking about the key parts, that's right, if an ordinary undergraduate like him can understand it all, then it can't be called alien technology.
"We will design the Earth to be located at the intersection of your straight line and the circle we created. Once the circle starts to rotate, the Earth will be taken away from its original world line and enter the closed three-dimensional space of the circle, automatically following the circle's movement at a speed close to the speed of light relative to your local universe."
This process of following the movement of space happens instantly , without the need for acceleration. Moreover, after being sucked in, the Earth is stationary relative to the new space, and no one will feel the force caused by the movement of space.
"...Then according to the theory of relativity...if I were still in the original world and could observe that circle, I would see that the entire earth was stationary..."
In Fang Cheng's imagination, this observation method is probably a bit like a random door, except that after it is opened, it is a world where time stops.
"That's right. I will fix you at the intersection of the straight line and the circle, and you will see two worlds at the same time."
"Wait a minute... Does this mean that the Earth will disappear in our universe?"
"Yes, if you observe from within the three-dimensional space you are in, that is, the solar system, the Earth will disappear in an instant."
"Will this have an impact on the movement of the planets in the solar system..."
"That's right, but the gravity of the earth is almost negligible compared to the sun and Jupiter, and it won't cause any devastating consequences. And because of the existence of the interface, the gravity of the circular space can be transmitted to your space. I will design the new space so that the gravity of the solar system is basically the same as when the earth is here."
"I think I understand."
"What you need to do is to find a way to eliminate all the protozoa in that static world. I will give you some necessary assistance."
If this fails, we will have to designate the solar system as an isolation zone and select suitable samples from humans for migration and protection, which will result in a huge consumption of resources.
You must succeed, otherwise I will be punished.
The color of lava changes with temperature. Just like the relationship between the temperature and color of stars, the relationship between the temperature and color of lava is also counterintuitive.
Usually, humans think that red represents warmth and danger, and blue represents coldness and austerity, but the law followed by the color of stars is exactly the opposite. As the temperature of these giant nuclear reactors in the universe increases, the color will gradually change from bright orange-red to white, and then from white to blue. The temperature of the coldest red star is between 2,000 Kelvin and more than 3,000 Kelvin, while the temperature of the hottest blue star can reach more than 30,000 Kelvin.
The same is true for magma. Red magma is only about 600 to 700 degrees Celsius, while white magma can reach a temperature of over 1,000 degrees Celsius.
More than one thousand degrees Celsius seems to be quite hot. It seems that in the inherent impression of most ordinary people, magma can swallow and melt everything and is a symbol of hell and destruction.
In fact, the melting point of iron is about 1,500 degrees, so the bright red magma cannot melt iron, and it cannot melt most of the heavier metals, such as copper with a melting point of 1,083 degrees, gold with a melting point of 1,064 degrees, and silver with a melting point of 961 degrees.
At this moment, the new generation of native individuals are adjusting their body structure, retracting all the tentacles that extend outward from their bodies, and their bodies, which were originally the same size as a large building, slowly shrink into a cylindrical shape, moving downward along the magma channel in the center of the volcanic cone until they come into contact with the warm lava.
It felt a very reassuring warmth, a feeling... If I had to describe it, it would be like the temperature that humans felt in their mother's amniotic fluid when they were still a fetus.
Perhaps the place where metal life first emerged was not the surface of the earth?
