Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 189 Ambitious

In this report, this group of top scientists compared the Super Large Hadron Collider to "the key to the door of truth"!

"It is a crutch on a rugged road, a bridge to the other side, and the best window into the universe..."

"Without it, human particle physics theory will stop at the current level and will no longer be able to make any progress!"

"...the mysteries of the universe will be revealed in the Hadron Collider!"

Of course, this project report is not pretentious. All the data and contents are real and there is no exaggeration.

Yu Yifeng's temples were beating wildly. At this moment, he clearly felt the ambition of the new human civilization.

Yes, an ambition towards science!

There is no doubt that these top scientists are outstanding representatives of civilization. Their will can even represent the will of the entire civilization. The group of scientists occupies the majority of the total population, and they are the main group of the new human civilization.

They want to explore the unknown and explore the endless mysteries of the universe!

And the best way is-the Hadron Collider.

But Yu Yifeng is very cautious. After being a leader for so long, he is accustomed to thinking over and over again and analyzing various pros and cons. It is impossible for him to get hot and hot just because of a few ambitious words of encouragement.

It is certainly good to have such an ambition, but his only consideration... the price is really too high! Whether it is material resources or human resources!

Can today's human beings really tolerate the creation of this thing?

He looked at Yuriko, wanting to hear her opinion.

Yuriko thought for a long time this time before finally analyzing the pros and cons. Of course, Yifeng had to make the specific judgment himself.

"Our science can be said to have basically completed the Standard Model, but it does not mean that science will stop there. Although the Standard Model looks excellent, it is not perfect, and it still cannot describe gravity."

"Moreover, the particles described by our current standard model are less than 5% of the particles existing in the universe. In other words, 95% of the particles are unknown to humans. This is also the main reason for building this very large LHC "We want to use this large instrument to discover unknown particles and understand them, so as to improve our model and understand the entire universe."

Yu Yifeng nodded, he knew all these common sense things.

He looked at Yuriko, waiting for her to continue.

"Currently, we are looking for particle physics models that are better than the standard model, and supersymmetry theory is one of them, and it is also one of the more promising ones to surpass."

"Because it looks so perfect and elegant. If the supersymmetry theory can be verified, it can tell us why particles have the mass they have now, why interactions have different strengths, and why the universe is like this?"

"Then we can further explore string theory, improve M theory, etc..."

"Perhaps only the Super Hadron Collider can bring us enlightenment in all of this. Without it, it would be difficult for our theoretical science to progress. This is very possible..."

Yu Yifeng touched his chin. He deeply understood the scientific significance brought by the Large Hadron Collider.

For science, experiments are very important. Without experimental verification, all discussions are just fantasy.

Of course, if the experimental verification fails, then the entire theory has failed and there is no room for negotiation.

Science is very realistic and cruel. Whether you are right or wrong, the universe is there and it will not change because of your research or your fantasies.

Yuriko paused, and this time she was silent for a long time again.

She said in an unexpectedly dull and low tone: "The Earth LHC did not discover supersymmetric particles, and rejected a large number of low-energy standard models. This is a very disappointing thing. Therefore, we must either give up supersymmetry completely Theory, either...can only explore higher energy scale models.”

"A higher energy standard means stronger instruments and higher funding requirements, but even this may not necessarily lead to something being discovered. It is just a hypothesis, not necessarily correct... But hadron collisions on Earth machine, and it is difficult to meet higher energy standards for experiments.”

"So, the hadron collider we are going to build may be a key that allows mankind to knock on the "door to the universe", but it may also, and is more likely, be a machine that no one knows when it will pay off. Black holes. Worse, maybe it’s all a hoax of our imagination and the universe.”

"...Even, we can never discover other particles through it! All of this is in vain!"

"All our efforts may be in vain..."

Yu Yifeng was silent. The failure of the low-energy standard supersymmetry theory was a big blow to people like Lily Zi, and even to people like Ding Yidong, Felix, Rambo and others.

Everyone thinks it is perfect, so much so that scientists around the world have been working on it for thirty years or more.

The supersymmetry theory has almost become a belief, a religious piety, and countless scientific papers are based on this assumption.

If it is completely wrong, then...all these painstaking papers will be reduced to waste paper.

If it is correct, the Nobel Prize is just a trivial matter and completely inadequate to describe the achievements.

But no one knows whether this road is correct. It is possible that after all the hard work, people sadly find that this road is unavailable.

The universe is always like this, just like a shy girl, she never easily reveals the truth hidden in her clothes...

"It would be great if supersymmetry at low energy scales was correct..."

.

Yuriko said in a low tone. It was obvious that she was severely hit by that experiment.

How easy is it to transcend the classics?

Human beings have always tried to use a set of theories to understand the operating laws of the entire universe from the most microscopic level.

In current particle physics, the most outstanding model is called the "Standard Model". In the 21st century, the discovery of the Higgs boson completed the last missing piece of the standard model puzzle.

The "Standard Model" is a set of theories describing the three fundamental forces, the strong force, the weak force and the electromagnetic force, and the elementary particles that make up all matter.

So far, the results of almost all experiments on the above three forces are consistent with the predictions of this set of theories. It is indeed excellent and is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless scientists from generation to generation.

However, the Standard Model is not yet a universal theory; it does not describe the entire universe. The main reason is that it does not describe gravity.

So the standard model only applies partially, it's not completely correct...

Every scientist knows that it is not completely correct, only partially, which brings a greater desire to explore.

Just like Newton's classical mechanics, it is limited to macroscopic low-speed objects; macroscopic high-speed objects are suitable for relativity; microscopic objects are suitable for quantum mechanics... Therefore, the most intelligent scientists among human beings, these smartest brains, absolutely cannot Will be satisfied with "partially correct".

They are eager to go beyond the standard model, eager to overthrow it, and eager for a more correct and grander theory.

Such a fantasy theory is called a "grand unified theory." Scientists are eager to unify all four basic forces and find the ultimate theorem of all things.

Supersymmetry theory was once regarded as an important candidate for a "grand unified theory", but...

"It has not completely failed. There will always be models with higher energy standards!"
