Volume 4: Spacetime Singularity Chapter 18 Yin and Yang Trinity
Observer No. 1's mission in this area is not just to keep an eye on the Earth, he also needs to detect all living things within hundreds of astronomical units.
But the Earth is not the only planet with life in the solar system. What humans don’t know is that almost all the planets in the solar system have had or still have life.
Those lives have either become extinct long ago or are too far away from the life forms familiar to humans and cannot be understood according to human thinking logic.
A typical example is the gas life on the surface of Jupiter. Humans are not even sure whether it is a living thing.
In recent years, biologists and cosmologists on Earth have realized that although Jupiter has no solid surface and there is no possibility of any carbon-based life surviving, there are indeed chemicals necessary for some strange life forms at certain altitudes in Jupiter's atmosphere.
Humans have proposed a possibility that if the temperature is warm enough, the constantly overlapping lightning in the atmosphere can provide the necessary energy for life, and the ammonia and hydrogen in Jupiter's atmospheric environment are not completely impossible to carry out the oxidation reaction required for life.
This hypothesis is correct. There has always been a large amount of gas life in Jupiter's atmosphere. They have not only formed their own ecosystems, but a small number of very complex individuals have evolved social structures.
Like the creatures on Earth, it is a miracle that these lives can exist, because even for gaseous life, the environment there is not a paradise.
For gaseous life, not the entire atmosphere is habitable. The newly evolved gaseous life can only survive in a very narrow range of altitudes. How to maintain this altitude is a critical issue for them.
Because the ever-present atmospheric circulation on Jupiter's surface is too violent for any life, the wind can carry them to the interior of the planet, where the temperature is much higher than the outside of the planet. The complex system of life will lose consciousness due to excessive disturbance.
In other words, it was roasted.
Of course, the winds could also blow them higher and farther from the planet's core, which is also fraught with dangers.
The sudden drop in temperature will cause condensation, making it impossible for them to maintain the gas form necessary for life, and even more dangerous is the radiation in space. No non-metallic creatures native to the surface of the planet can use their bodies to resist the high-energy rays from the universe.
Despite this, billions of years of chance have allowed consciousness to emerge in structured gas systems, and this life form has, after a long period of iteration, spread across the entire surface of the planet today.
In fact, the temperature range in which gaseous life can exist is much larger than that of solid life on Earth, mainly because enzymes are too sensitive to temperature.
This sensitivity meant that most carbon-based organisms could only exist in a very narrow range on the Earth's surface until humans appeared who could make clothes that could maintain body temperature.
Observer No. 1 flew slowly away from the sun. As the temperature around it became lower and lower, its thoughts became clearer.
Jupiter's amazing rotating clouds and colorful vortex strips slowly unfolded before his eyes. These strips flowed alternately to the east and west as the planet rotated. It was the full collision of these clouds of different compositions that gave birth to a variety of eddies and turbulence on the surface of the planet.
As the distance got closer, Observer No. 1 was gradually able to see the hydrogen and helium swirling in the air, but they were invisible to humans.
The clouds that humans can see or photograph with cameras are mostly made of ammonia, while below them are water clouds. These clouds are driven by wind belts that can remain unchanged for hundreds of years, and the markings on Jupiter have only slightly changed in color intensity and width in the 200 years that humans have observed Jupiter.
Observer No. 1 is not parked in a synchronous orbit like on Earth, but floats closer to the planet's atmosphere. He needs to keep his speed of rotation around the planet consistent with the wind speed on the surface.
While winds on Earth are driven primarily by the heat of the Sun, this is not necessarily the case on Jupiter, as the intensity of sunlight on Jupiter is only one-twenty-fifth that of Earth, yet its winds are three to four times stronger.
In some extreme places, winds blow violently through the atmosphere at speeds of 575 kilometers per hour, and gaseous life wanders back and forth with these winds.
After observer No. 1 was ready, he aimed at a target that interested him and prepared to start collecting data.
If it is just sampling and not contacting or communicating with life on the ground, observers do not need to fly near the surface of the planet when operating.
Communication with native life on a planet is strictly restricted by regulations, so in most cases observers and samples are kept at a considerable distance.
The more important reason is that their collection does not require contact with living things.
According to human scientific paradigm, the fundamental particles in the universe can be divided into two types according to their symmetry, namely bosons and fermions, which ordinary people have more or less heard of.
In contrast, the objective reality in the physical world can be roughly divided into two categories, namely, matter and field..
Intuitively, fermions make up matter itself, such as electrons and atomic nuclei, while bosons make up the interactions between fermions, which exist as fields that permeate space.
These two forms of existence are not mutually exclusive. For example, an electron-positron pair, which is a fermion, can release a photon, which is a boson, through annihilation, and a photon can also split into an electron-positron pair and a neutrino.
Like bosons and fermions, matter and antimatter can also be used as a basis for dividing objective entities into two categories.
The antiparticle of a boson is itself, such as a photon. All fermions that carry mass have their own antiparticles, such as electrons and negative electrons, quarks and antiquarks, neutrinos and antineutrinos... According to the prediction of the Dirac equation, all fermions in the universe have their own antiparticles.
In the scientific history of metal civilization, the birth of antiparticle sampling technology has directly and greatly promoted biological research . With this technology, observers no longer have to go down to the surface of the planet and risk taking samples. Instead, they only need to collect the antiparticles of all the particles that make up the target organisms.
