Chapter 381 Two Protons?Two sophons!
The origin of the three-body problem has a long history.

At the first congress of mathematicians in the twentieth century, the great mathematician Hilbert of the twentieth century proposed 23 difficult mathematical problems in his famous speech, which are important in the development of mathematics in the twentieth century played a very important role.

In the same lecture, Hilbert also proposed what he considered to be the criterion of the perfect mathematical problem: the problem can be expressed concisely and clearly, but the solution of the problem is so difficult that it requires a new way of thinking Only then can it be realized.

In order to illustrate his point of view, Hilbert gave two most typical examples: The first one is Fermat's last theorem, that is, the algebraic equation x^n+y^n=z^n has no difference when n is greater than 2. Zero integer solution; the second is a special case of the N-body problem to be introduced - the three-body problem.

It is worth noting that although these two problems were not resolved at the time, Hilbert did not include them in his list of problems.

But looking back a full 100 years later, these two questions may have played a greater role in the overall development of mathematics in the twentieth century than any of the 23 questions raised by Hilbert.

Fermat's conjecture was finally solved by Wiles of Princeton University in 1995 after hundreds of years of hard work by generations of mathematicians all over the world. This is recognized as one of the greatest mathematical advances in the [-]th century.

Because in addition to solving an important problem, more importantly, several new mathematical ideas were born in the process of solving the problem. No wonder some people lamented that a golden hen was killed after the problem was solved. up.

In the more than 300 years since the "three-body problem" was confirmed, people have only found three sets of periodic special solutions.

Two scientists found 13 new periodic special solutions at one go, which shocked the scientific community.

Serbian physicists Milovan Shuvakov and Dimitra Snovic discovered 13 new special solutions.

They published a paper in the prestigious academic journal "Physical Review Letters", describing their search method: using computer simulations, starting with a known special solution, and then continuously making small adjustments to its initial conditions until the new movement patterns were found.

These 13 groups of special solutions are very complicated, like a loose ball of string in the abstract space "shape ball".

The number of families of special solutions to the three-body problem has been expanded to 16 groups.This new discovery has the scientific community rejoicing.

It is conceivable how important this three-body problem is in the field of mathematics, and even in the field of physical mechanics. This is also the reason why many mathematicians are ecstatic to post on Weibo!

Few science fiction novels deal with the three-body problem.

Because their knowledge reserves in the field of science fiction cannot support the author to write a hard science fiction.

Of course, it is not to say that soft science fiction is not good. Soft science fiction can be regarded as occupying half of the field of science fiction, and there are many exquisite works among them.

But there is no doubt that hard science fiction is the favorite of countless science fiction fans.

And this time, the three-body problem is no longer presented separately——

Instead, it turned into a world!
A world of three aliens!
As a resident of the three planets, he is troubled by the three-body problem.

When solving the three-body problem, the efforts of Blue Star mathematicians become the efforts of one race and one world.

Even when it's a survival problem the world desperately needs to solve!
What consequences will it cause?
Nobody knows!
But no one is not curious...

The reader's first reaction after knowing all this can only sigh helplessly: "The sword is awesome!"

All the melon-eating netizens saw the mathematician praising the three-body problem in unison, and they were all dumbfounded...

We know that Sword God's novels are good-looking, but this time it's a bit too outrageous, right?
Especially Li Xiang is still in an environment blocked by capital, which makes everyone have to think more and more complicated...

But doubts are doubts, the Three-Body Problem is a must-see, and bookstores across the country are once again crowded.

The degree of congestion is even more exaggerated than that of the Spring Festival travel rush.

Some local tyrants couldn't buy the Three-Body Problem, and even made bold claims on the Internet, buying a copy of the Three-Body Problem for 1000 yuan.

This surprised everyone, because it is not a signed version, and the ordinary version is the three-body problem, which has no collection value at all.

It is sold in major bookstores, but most people can't get it!

A series of public opinions pushed Three-Body to the top of Weibo's hot search list, and everyone was once again immersed in the world of Three-Body!

【"After the two sophons arrive on Earth, the first task is to locate the high-energy accelerator used by humans for physics research, and then lurk in it.

At the scientific level of earth civilization, the basic method used in the study of the deep structure of matter is to hit the selected target particles with accelerated high-energy particles, and when the target particles are smashed, analyze the results to find out Information that reflects the deep structure of matter.

In the actual experiment, a substance containing target particles is used as the impact target. The interior of the substance is almost empty. If an atom is as big as a theater, the nucleus is just a walnut suspended in the theater.

Therefore, successful impacts are very rare, and often occur only after a large number of high-energy particles bombard the target material for a long time. This kind of experiment is like finding a raindrop with a slightly different color from a summer rainstorm. "

"This gives the sophon a chance to replace the target particle to accept the impact. Because of its high intelligence, through the quantum sensing array, they can accurately judge the trajectory of the bombarded particle in a very short time, and then Move to proper location.

Therefore, the success rate of colliding with sophons is hundreds of millions of times higher than that of ordinary target particles.

When a sophon is hit, it intentionally gives false and confusing results.

Even if there were occasional correct collisions with intended target particles, it would be impossible for geophysicists to distinguish the correct results from the mass of false ones. "

"So, isn't Sophon also consumed?" asked the military consul.

"No. Protons are already the basic structure of matter. They are fundamentally different from ordinary macroscopic matter. They can be crushed, but they cannot be destroyed. In fact, when a sophon is broken into several parts , a few sophons are produced, and there is still a strong quantum connection between them, just like you cut off a magnet, but get two magnets.

Although the function of each fragmented sophon will be much lower than the original whole particle, under the command of the repair software, the fragments can quickly move closer together and recombine into a whole sophon that is exactly the same as before the impact.

This process is done after the impact, after fragmented sophons show erroneous results in high-energy accelerator bubble chambers or on latex photosensitive sheets, and it takes only a millionth of a second. "

Someone asked again: "Is there such a possibility that people on earth use some method to identify sophons, and then use a strong electromagnetic field to capture them and imprison them? Protons are positively charged."

"This is even more impossible. To identify sophons, human beings need a breakthrough in the study of the deep structure of matter, but high-energy accelerators have become a pile of scrap iron. How can this kind of research be carried out? The hunter's eyes have already been destroyed. His prey was blinded."

"The people on earth have another stupid way," said the industry consul, "they can build a large number of accelerators, faster than we can build sophons, then there will always be a certain accelerator on the earth that has no sophons lurking in it, and the correct result will be obtained. "

"This is the funnest bit of the Sophon project!"

This question excited the Science Consul, "Mr. Industry Consul, you don't have to worry about building a large number of sophons to collapse the Trisolaran economy.

We don't have to do that, maybe a few more sophons will be built, but not more, in fact, two are enough, since each sophon is multithreaded in behavior. "

"Multithreading?"

"This is a term for an old serial computer. At that time, the computer's central processing unit could only run a single program at a time, but due to its high speed and interrupt scheduling, our observers at the low-speed level It appears that the computer is running multiple programs at the same time.

You know, a sophon can move at a speed close to the speed of light. The earth world is a small place relative to the speed of light. If a sophon travels between different accelerators on the earth at this speed, it will look like Simultaneously present in every accelerator, capable of producing false impact results in all accelerators almost simultaneously.

"We have calculated that each sophon can control as many as [-] high-energy accelerators, and it would take four to five years for people on earth to build such an accelerator, and it is impossible to build a large number of them from the perspective of economy and resources.

Of course, they can increase the distance between the accelerators, such as building on various planets in their galaxy, which can indeed destroy the multi-threading operation of the sophon, but in such a long period of time, Trisolaris has recreated ten or more Sophon is not difficult.

More and more sophons will roam that planetary system, and together they will not be as big as a billionth of a bacterium, but they will never allow physicists on earth to peer into the secrets of the depths of matter, the earth Man's control over microscopic dimensions will be limited to less than five dimensions, not to mention 450 million hours, even 450 trillion hours. There will be no essential breakthroughs in the science and technology of earth civilization, and they will always be in the primitive era.

The science of the earth has been completely locked. This lock is so strong that human beings can never break free with their own strength. "

"It's wonderful! Please forgive my disrespect for the Sophon Project." The military consul said sincerely.

"In fact, there are currently only three accelerators on Earth that have reached the energy level required for possible breakthrough research results, and Sophon [-] and [-] will be almost idle after arriving on Earth.

In order to make full use of their working ability, in addition to interfering with the three accelerators, we have also arranged other tasks for the sophons, and they will become the main technical means for implementing the miracle plan. "

"Can Sophon perform miracles?"

"For people on Earth, yes. Everyone knows that high-energy particles can make film sensitive, which is also one of the methods used by the earth's primitive accelerators to display individual particles. Every time a sophon passes through a film in a high-energy state, it is produced on it. A photosensitive point, they pass back and forth, and these points can be connected into a row of letters or numbers, or even graphics, just like embroidery.

This process is extremely fast, far faster than the photosensitive speed of the film when the earth's camera takes pictures.

In addition, the retinas of people on Earth are similar to those of Trisolarans, so high-energy sophons can also print letters, numbers, or graphics on their retinas in the same way... If the above-mentioned small miracles can confuse and frighten people on Earth , then the next giant miracle is enough to scare those bug scientists to death: sophons can cause the cosmic background radiation in their eyes to flicker as a whole. "

"This is also very scary for our scientists, how to do it?"

"It's very simple. We have compiled the software that enables sophons to expand two-dimensionally by themselves. After the expansion is completed, the earth will be surrounded by that huge plane. This software can also make the expanded plane transparent, but in the waveband of cosmic background radiation In fact, its transparency can be adjusted...Of course, when Sophon unfolds in various dimensions, it can display more magnificent miracles, and the corresponding software is also under development.

These miracles will create an atmosphere capable of leading human scientific thinking astray, so that we can use the miracle plan to form a strong containment of science other than physics in the earth world. "

"The last question: why not send all the four sophons we have to Earth?"

"Quantum sensing is at a distance. Even if the four sophons are located at opposite ends of the universe, the sensing can still be transmitted in an instant, and the quantum array formed by them still exists.

If the No. [-] and No. [-] sophons are left here, they can receive the information sent back by the No. [-] and No. [-] sophons on the earth in real time, thus realizing the real-time monitoring of the earth by Trisolaran.

At the same time, the sophon array also enables the Trisolaran world to communicate with alien elements in the earth civilization in real time. "

"Here is an important strategic step," the head of state interjected. "We will use the sophon array to inform the people on Earth of Trisolaran's true intentions for Earth's civilization."

"That is to say, we will tell them that the Trisolaran fleet will make this species disappear from the earth by prohibiting the earthlings from procreating for a long time?"

"Yes, there are two possible results: one is to make people on Earth abandon all illusions and fight to the death, and the other is to make their society degenerate and collapse in despair and fear. After careful study, we think the latter possibility is more likely.”]

Everyone: "!!!"

This...proton?
Tomoko? !
This set of theories is too real, and everyone knows it is false, but their hairs stand on end. A group of mathematicians and astrophysicists are a little confused when they see this. After all, this is not their field of knowledge. When they handed this passage to Physicist's best friend.

The physics world exploded!
