Volume 4: Spacetime Singularity Chapter 25 Gauge Invariance
Although those formulas were of different lengths, they were arranged in an orderly manner. When piled together, they did not feel messy but neat and tidy. However, Fang Cheng could not understand some of the symbols.
He remembered that when he was chatting with Teacher Jie before, the other party had briefly mentioned that the Soviet and Western academic circles had different ways of writing many scientific symbols. He could only vaguely remember a few of them.
The stack of papers was not very thick, and looked to be only about 20 to 30 pages. Eighty percent of the content was formulas, and the rest were some densely packed small Chinese characters. Those Chinese characters were arranged in an orderly manner and did not look out of place among the pile of formulas.
Fortunately, the text is not written in Russian, otherwise I would not be able to understand it.
Fang Cheng subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the papers, but his grasp was empty. Only then did he remember that he was in a different space.
"Can you suck it over here too?"
He seemed to be talking to himself in the air, but in fact he was talking to half of his brain.
But this time, after he finished speaking, no one responded for a long time, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"T-800, are you still here?"
Fang Cheng has not forgotten the name. Although he felt that naming was unnecessary from the beginning, he could not say anything since the girl was willing to give her the name.
There was another long period of silence.
Fang Cheng's expression changed instantly. He turned around and went straight through the wall, scaring Ning Yu'an who had been standing next to him without saying anything.
When he was talking to himself just now, the girl had been watching quietly beside him. She was used to it. Besides, playing was playing, but if you provoke Fang Cheng once he showed a serious expression, you would be ignorant.
Fang Cheng rushed out of the house and looked at the sea below the big slope. The waves on it were still as if frozen. Seeing this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back into the room, catching the girl who had just followed him out a little off guard.
But this is not the first time this has happened. Once he enters the thinking mode, he will forget what is happening around him. If you interrupt him forcibly, he will be very angry.
Ning Yu'an knew that Fang Cheng wouldn't have any big reaction when he was angry. He wouldn't have an outburst or yell, let alone fight. He usually just felt a little uncomfortable and would say a few words and then digest it himself.
In fact, this is not a good thing. Although it may make people think that this young man is well-mannered, his mental exhaustion is particularly serious. Many times before going to bed at night, Fang Cheng would think about the things that made him angry during the day and regret why he didn't just let it out instead of bringing it home and torturing himself.
He walked into the room and took out a cylinder with a radius of about one or two centimeters from the loose pocket of the sweatshirt he was wearing. This was what the alien had just given him.
Unlike the previous time when he was asked to go to the underground warehouse to retrieve the ring himself, this time the aliens did not care so much.
At that time, they directly "popped" and illuminated the interior of the spacecraft with extremely bright white light. When Fang Cheng's vision recovered, the cylinder was already in his hands.
Could it be that the aliens have started to get angry this time, or that the current problem has become a bit difficult for them? Fang Cheng didn't dare to think about it anymore. With his personality, this kind of crazy thinking would become endless once it started.
He looked at the cylinder carefully. Like the previous bracelet, the entire outer surface was very smooth, but the reflective effect was not very good.
The material felt slightly cool to the touch, but based on this alone he couldn't tell what it was made of.
The various instruments of aliens are indeed of this simple geometric shape, without any unnecessary structures or components.
From this, it seems that some of the famous alien weapons I have seen in novels before were actually predicted almost exactly. The author is indeed very talented.
He raised the iron pole and aimed it directly at the paper on the table. As the force increased, a small ball with a faint glow appeared clearly in his field of vision. The ball grew bigger and bigger, and finally included all the paper.
At this time, he gently tapped the front end of the cylinder with his middle finger, and the paper wrapped in the light flew into his hand in an instant, while the table that was also wrapped did not change at all.
The fact that it can pass through different space membranes means that it is not one of the three interactions other than gravity; the fact that it can lift paper means that a small device can generate a large enough force; the fact that it does not cut through the table means that the strength and electromagnetic forces cannot compete and will not destroy the inherent structure of the solid; and the paper is not torn into pieces when passing through the space membrane, which means that this force does not decay with time and space, and acts completely uniformly on the entire macroscopic object.
Based on these contradictory conditions, Fang Cheng concluded that this force is a field, and a new field that humans have no knowledge of. It is not any of the four basic interactions.
In other words, this is a new boson, if the concept of boson still applies here.
After all, aliens have long said that quantum field theory, the culmination of modern physics, and the theories derived from it seem ridiculous to more advanced civilizations.
Perhaps the gauge field paradigm was wrong from the beginning, and all human efforts to find a standard grand unified model are doomed to be in vain.
Even if we never find a grand unified theory, the process of constantly improving the standard model can still promote the development of science and technology, and it is still meaningful.
The meaning of science is not to explain the world, but to transform it. Of course, it would be better if we could really understand the world, although it seems unlikely in the short term.
The short term here is probably a few hundred years.
Fang Cheng flipped through the papers in his hand and was glad that he had finished reading all the textbooks before. If you are not very familiar with the theory, you will not be able to understand the scientific research articles .
Precisely because he has a pretty good understanding of the knowledge in this field, he can guess the meaning of many unclear points.
He scanned most of the text as quickly as possible, and when he turned to the last page, he saw several large red circles and exclamation marks, which scared him.
Having just witnessed the hellish scene in the ruins after the disaster, his psychological endurance has become much stronger, but the conclusions drawn from these deductions still make him shudder.
Of course, there is a premise that these deductions are correct.
