Chapter 281 Warp drive, the difference between special relativity and general relativity

ps: Change it, time travel to instant travel, it seems that instant travel is more in line with what I mean.

Space Research Institute, conference room!

Ye Fei stood on the front seat, looked at the people present, and said: "Everyone, I have decided to study instant travel!"

"Instant travel?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei in confusion, not understanding what it meant.

Ye Feidao: "Instant travel means that something can be transferred to a certain place in the universe in an instant."

"As you all know, I did some messaging a while ago."

Everyone nodded. At that time, Ye Fei wanted to prove that the consciousness he proposed at the Solvay Conference could be transmitted instantly.

As a result, technology for instant information transmission was developed, and a press conference was held to show everyone how information can be transmitted instantaneously.

Therefore, many people know that Ye Fei developed the technology to transmit information instantly.

"And now I want to teleport something to somewhere 10 billion light years away from Earth."

"It's just different from the instantaneous transmission of information. There is only a transmitting station and no receiving station. Once it is transmitted, there is no need to take it back."

"And it's not information transfer, it's physical transfer."

Everyone looked at Ye Fei blankly when they heard this, and were very surprised. Isn't this the warp engine?

Warp drive, also called warp drive, is a super-light propulsion system. It, like jump engines, super-light engines, interstellar teleporters and other equipment, are common technologies in science fiction works that are similar but have different concepts.

The warp drive concept is not designed to allow instantaneous travel between two points.

Warp technology envisions creating an artificial bubble of normal space and time around a spacecraft, allowing the spacecraft to safely travel at several orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light, while avoiding the relativistic problem of time dilation.

Einstein's theory of relativity provides theories for warp drive, time travel and other technologies.

In the theory of relativity, it is pointed out that time and space overlap with each other.

When the mass and speed of an object continue to increase, the time and space in which it exists will also change accordingly.

Some scientists once conducted an experiment, using the European Large Hadron Collider to accelerate particles to close to the speed of light, and found that these particles decayed more slowly than other particles placed in the laboratory.

They couldn't understand. Wasn't Ye Fei studying dark matter? Why do we need to study warp drive again?

Just as humanity has always longed to go to the moon, so too has the warp drive been something humanity has longed for.

Academician Jiyu said: "Dean, I don't want to refute you, but how confident are you in studying instantaneous travel?"

"After all, instant travel is just a dream. It is still an unattainable technology for the current earth's technology."

Based on the scientific community’s understanding of warp drive.

Although Einstein's theory of relativity provides the theoretical basis for the warp engine.

However, it is impossible to realize a warp engine with current earth technology.

For example, the ancients knew that a kite could fly into the sky, but the distance between flying a kite and landing on the moon was thousands of miles away.

The distance between relativity and warp drive is only slightly better than knowing how to fly a kite into the sky and land on the moon.

Therefore, it is a pipe dream to realize a warp engine at this stage.

Academician Zong Shi said: "Dean, you are now conducting research and development on instant travel, so are we still doing our dark matter research?"

He made a bet with Academician Jiyu. Whoever wins will get their group's dinner.

If we don’t make the bet now, wouldn’t both parties suffer losses?

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Of course I do, I study instantaneous travel for dark matter."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Ye Fei in confusion. What does the study of instantaneous travel have to do with dark matter?

Ye Fei looked at everyone's confused expressions. He tapped the keyboard of the computer in front of him, and then the dark universe screen was displayed on the display.

Ye Fei sat down and put his hand on the mouse to control the dark universe, making a certain part of the dark universe move, shrink or enlarge.

"Everyone, please take a look. You should all be familiar with this painting!"

Everyone nodded, Dark Universe Ye Fei had shown it to them once.

Ye Feidao: "This is a dark universe, and there is a lot of dark matter in it, so I want to use the instantaneous shuttle to let the dark matter detector pass by and collect dark matter data."

"This will make it much easier for us to study dark matter."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that it turned out that Ye Fei studied the warp engine to study dark matter!

But many people are shaking their heads. Warp engines are not that easy to study.

It is more difficult to study than discovering dark matter.

If the warp engine can be realized, Earth's civilization will take a huge step forward.

As far as the Kadar civilization is concerned, this is something that can only be achieved by the third civilization.

Former North Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev proposed dividing civilization into five levels.

First-level civilization, which is the current civilization on earth, uses technology to make use of all the resources of the earth.

For example, controllable nuclear fusion changes the ionosphere of the earth's atmosphere to form a new electromagnetic field. Humans can control the natural weather and are no longer affected by natural disasters. Power technology inventions are widely used.

In terms of current earth technology, it is still far from a first-level civilization, and may reach a level 0.7 civilization.

Second-level civilization, human footprints are all over the solar system.

Mars serves as the second Earth. A large number of humans from Earth began to immigrate to Mars, and Venus was included in the Third Earth Transformation Plan.

With major breakthroughs in genetic engineering, human intelligence and lifespan have been greatly improved. Planetary resources can no longer meet human development needs, and stellar energy has been developed.

The most representative Dyson sphere theory, the sun at this time is more like a gas station for humans on earth.

While humans can make full use of stellar energy, it also marks that human civilization has officially reached the second level civilization.

The third-level civilization is an interstellar civilization. Only in this civilization can humans realize space jumps, warp engines and super-light speeds, and travel through time and space.

Wormholes and neutron stars will serve as one of the important sources of energy for mankind.

The main thing is that dark matter and dark energy will solve the ultimate energy problem.

Level 4 civilization is a cosmic civilization. Human beings can use dark matter to control time and space, and even achieve immortality and body immortality.

The fifth-level civilization is a god-level civilization. This civilization can control the most basic particles that make up the universe and create the universe, the world and life.

Ye Fei looked at everyone with expectant eyes and said, "Whoever among you is interested in this research can join me."

"I won't force you to do whatever you want."

Many people shook their heads. They were not willing to study warp engines with Ye Fei.

That is impossible to achieve.

At least it is impossible to achieve with current earth technology.

If a research cannot be realized, they naturally do not want to join it.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who believe in Ye Fei or are interested in the warp engine. They want to study it with Ye Fei.

Ye Feidao: "When you go back, talk to your team members to see who wants to study with me and report to my assistant."

"That's it, let's break up the meeting!"

Soon after the meeting, everyone in the entire institute knew that Ye Fei wanted to study warp engines.

Many researchers at the institute are discussing this matter.

The news spread outside the academy, and within a few days many scholars in the Xia Kingdom knew about it.

Ye Fei's office!

Ye Fei was sitting on the sofa chatting with Zhang Yitang at the moment, with a cup of steaming tea in front of each of them.

Zhang Yitang took a sip of tea and put it down. He looked at Ye Feida with a smile and said, "Now everyone in the institute is saying that you want to study warp engines. Is this true?"

"It's true!" Ye Fei nodded.

Zhang Yitang said in shock: "You actually want to study the warp engine!"

"Although I don't study physics, I also know that it is difficult to realize a warp engine with current earth technology!"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly: "Of course, but my research is still very different from the warp engine."

"What's the difference?" Zhang Yitang asked with interest.

Ye Feidao: "The warp engine allows matter to exceed the speed of light and travel from one place to another instantly."

"What connects these two places is a wormhole."

"In other words, if you want to realize the warp engine, you must create a wormhole."

"And my teleportation does not require the creation of wormholes. There are many wormholes in the universe."

"The target I am going to is fixed. As long as I use the wormhole in the universe, I can go to the target I set in a short time."

"Then you are not a warp engine!" Zhang Yitang said.

Ye Feidao: "Yeah, when did I say I was researching warp engines? It's just that they thought I was researching warp engines."

Ye Fei didn't explain clearly because he was afraid that Zhang Yitang wouldn't understand.

After all, Zhang Yitang didn't study physics. He didn't know anything about warp engines or instantaneous transmission.

In quantum entanglement, consciousness can be instantly transmitted anywhere in the universe.

Consciousness is transferred instantaneously, rather than objects, so it does not violate the theory of relativity.

Ye Fei wants to transmit objects instantaneously. In addition to studying quantum entanglement, he also needs to study the expansion of the universe.

The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light because the two ends of the universe are far enough apart and are still expanding at an accelerating rate, just like a balloon. When the universe expands, the new space created every second is faster than the speed of light, which causes the universe to expand faster than the speed of light.

Studying the expansion of the universe can help us understand the laws of wormholes in the universe, and thus how to use wormholes to allow dark matter detectors to reach the dark universe.

Of course, in addition to these there are quantum science and relativity theory.

These would allow dark matter detectors to travel at high speeds, allowing them to travel through black holes.

Zhang Yitang laughed and said: "It's really passed down to ten, and it's getting more and more outrageous. I thought you really wanted to study the warp engine!"

"Hehe!" Ye Fei chuckled twice and said: "Let them pass it on. The more outrageous the better. It is best to pass it on with dozens of versions, so that no one outside will know what I am studying."

"That's true." Zhang Yitang smiled and said: "As far as I know, Beili Country is keeping a close eye on you. Doing this can also confuse Beili Country's understanding of your research."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded slightly.

In the following time, Ye Fei prepared to study teleportation.

In the end, less than a hundred people in the entire institute studied instantaneous transmission with Ye Fei.

There are thousands of researchers in the institute, but less than a hundred people came.

Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "It seems that everyone has little confidence in my research!"

"I think most of these dozens of people are doing research with me because of my past results!"

"And there are very few people who really believe that I can study teleportation."

"You could even say there isn't one!"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and thought: "But it doesn't matter. Once the research results are produced, they will believe me."

laboratory!

Ye Fei gathered all the people who participated in the research on teleportation into the laboratory.

Everyone sat on white iron stools around Ye Fei, and Ye Fei sat on a white iron stool in the middle of the crowd.

Ye Fei looked at the people around him and said: "Let me first state that we are studying teleportation, not warp engines!"

Everyone looked at Ye Fei in confusion, is there any difference?

Isn't teleportation just a warp drive?

Ye Feidao: "There is a big difference between instant transmission and warp engine..."

Ye Fei then told everyone what he said to Zhang Yitang in more detail.

After listening to this, everyone suddenly realized that it was really not a warp engine!

This made everyone feel more at ease.

If it is only instantaneous transmission, it is really possible to develop instantaneous transmission of objects if there is experience in instantaneous transmission of information.

Of course, there is a big difference between objects and information.

Objects are real things, and information is virtual things.

Virtual objects can travel fast and far, but physical objects cannot.

Therefore, it is much more difficult to achieve instantaneous transmission of objects than instantaneous transmission of information.

Even the difficulty gap between the two is a day and a day.

Ye Feidao: "Let me explain the research steps below."

When everyone heard this, they sat upright and listened attentively.

Everyone in the institute knows that when studying with Ye Fei, Ye Fei will usually give research directions and steps in advance.

Therefore, researching with Ye Fei is very worry-free and labor-saving.

"The first is special relativity and general relativity!"

"You should all know the difference between special relativity and general relativity!"

The difference between special relativity and general relativity is whether space-time is curved.

If space-time is flat, uncurved, and has zero curvature, this is special relativity.

If spacetime is curved and the curvature is non-zero, this is general relativity.

"To study whether space-time is curved, that is, general relativity and special relativity, we must study it from the perspective of Riemann curvature."

"Then we need to study Riemann's theorem, Riemannian geometry... and other knowledge."

"After so many years of research on Riemann's theorem and the theory of relativity, I think I should summarize it in one sentence."

"Matter tells space-time how to curve, and space-time tells matter how to move."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

This sentence seems simple, but in fact it combines Riemann's theorem and the theory of relativity.

The meaning of this sentence is that the mass distribution is expressed as a Riemannian metric, and the gravitational phenomenon is explained as the curvature property of Riemannian space, thereby profoundly revealing the non-Euclidean nature of space and the essential connection between material motion and space-time properties.

Next, Ye Fei explained in detail the combination between Riemann's theorem and the theory of relativity.

As the prover of the Riemann Hypothesis, Ye Fei is very handy in this regard.

He can derive many applications from a random question, just like a master who transforms technique into Tao.

In other words, a martial arts master who has practiced martial arts to such an extent that he can establish a sect.

Many people feel that listening to Ye Fei's academic explanations seems like they don't need to use their brains.

Ye Fei can think of everything you can think of, and Ye Fei can still think of things you can't think of.

And all you do is take notes with pen and paper.

After a long time, Ye Feidao said: "The concept of Riemannian geometry is not only the basis of general relativity, but also the basic concept of modern quantum field theory and theoretical basic particle physics. It is also the latest development from the standard model to string theory."

"So, my explanation today is not only useful for Riemann's theorem and theory of relativity, but also for quantum field theory, theoretical basic particles and string theory."

"Also, quantum field theory, theoretical fundamental particles and string theory are also of great help in studying Riemann's theorem and the theory of relativity."

"So, when you are studying these, you can cross-research each other, and maybe you can get a lot more inspiration."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Ye Fei raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Ye Feidao: "Let's stop here today, go eat, and continue tomorrow morning. When you go back, you should think carefully about what I said and how to study it in a few days."

After saying that, Ye Fei stood up and walked outside, and the others also stood up and walked out of the laboratory.
