The experience of being detained at Jinling Airport last time made him really not want to experience it again.
"… have no idea."
Wei Hong shook his head.
If Wei Hong's conjecture is correct, it means that they may "straighten" the curled space-time in some way and directly pass through the curled universe along a true "straight line". Go where they want to go.
"...I will try my best to use mathematical language to describe this guess as more reliable."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Even if you contact him ten thousand steps back, he's unlikely to invest a lot of time into studying an idea that has little chance of being realized... unless it's really worth it."
"He's got it done."
The three were getting ready to return to their previous discussion.
IMCRC headquarters.
Looking at Wei Hong with a confused expression, Davik said blankly.
If there is no response...
"Is... could it be?!"
"It can only be the… "
Whoever can find it will be its father in the interstellar era.
Even if it theoretically provides a feasible idea for navigation between star systems, its significance is extremely huge. And if someone in the distant future really achieves hyperspace navigation through their theory, then I am afraid that even Einstein and Newton combined will have to be compared with this supreme glory.
"It's useless even if you look at me like this. Although I am his senior brother, but... he is in retreat now. It is almost impossible to contact him."
"what happened?"
Also foreseeing this, Professor Wei Hong also sighed softly.
However, while the other two people were listening carefully, he suddenly stopped talking while he was speaking nicely. It was as if his thoughts were stuck by something, and he stood there in a daze for a long time.
Looking at Professor Wei Hong, who looked shocked and suddenly reacted, Luo Wenxuan nodded with straight eyes.
It can only be said that Lu Zhou is not optimistic about their speculation.
Frightened by the broad prospects behind this theory, Luo Wenxuan was stunned for a long time before gradually showing a serious expression and asked.
However, if the curved space-time between the two is "straightened" - or even just stretched out to the width of a highway, this distance may be shortened to 5.5 million, or even 550,000 kilometers.
If solving this problem is more difficult than Poincaré's conjecture...
Seeing the two of them looking at him at the same time, Luo Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and then sweated wildly.
They have almost no chance of winning.
"What is he saying?"
"I thought of it!"
This is the key to the edge of the galaxy!
"If this conclusion can be proven, I'm afraid there will be no problem in being famous in history." Professor Davidk said with a somewhat envious tone.
After being silent for a long time, Professor Wei Hong nodded with difficulty. Although he didn't like waiting for something uncertain, there seemed to be no better way now.
Seeing this, Professor Davik quickly stood up and looked at him and asked.
"Yes."
"Where's Professor Witten?"
"So, for us, the only way now is to write our guesses in a paper and publish it. If it can arouse his interest, this problem will be solved. If not... I think it may not be worth it. We waste too much time on it.”
"But... how will you know if it works if you don't try it?"
"There is curvature in space and time. Assume that the curvature is x. Assume that these two lines are gravitational field lines under normal space and time. When the Z particle oscillates at both ends, the value of x changes, or even is reduced to infinitely close to zero. , and these two arcs will be straightened infinitely, approaching a straight line—"
"What are you all looking at me doing?"
Luo Wenxuan looked at him and nodded.
As he spoke, Luo Wenxuan couldn't help but have a helpless expression on his face.
Even the latter, who are not good at mathematics, are aware of the seven millennium problems in mathematics.
According to Luo Wenxuan's understanding of Lu Zhou, although he would hardly respond to messages from the outside world during his retreat, he would not completely disconnect from the Internet.
Professor Davidk, standing next to him, quickly asked.
To be honest, his cheap senior brother might not have as high a status as that guy's apprentice.
"Whose phone number?"
"I also think so."
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, due to the existence of matter, matter and time (spacetime) will bend. The classical universe where matter is ubiquitous, that is, the universe that humans can directly observe, is obviously a "curved" universe.
Without looking at the caller ID, Luo Wenxuan pressed the connect button and walked aside.
He glanced at the direction Luo Wenxuan was leaving with a confused expression. Just when Wei Hong was hesitating to go over and see what was going on, he saw Luo Wenxuan with a dazed look on his face. My cell phone makes him sleepwalk. He seemed to be walking back.
Although he wanted to leave these things aside, considering that a certain chairman was indifferent, he could only bite the bullet and resist the tasks that originally belonged to Lu Zhou.
"Wait a minute... I'm going to take a call."
Shrugging, Luo Wenxuan continued.
"Lu Zhou..."
"Although it is a pity, this theory is not something that ordinary people can complete...at least it is beyond the scope of my ability."
Davik quickly nodded in agreement.
After all, the concept of warp speed navigation sounds a bit unbelievable. To be honest, he has been in a state of doubt until now. After all, besides this most unlikely explanation, there are many more reliable explanations.
Under such circumstances, even if you do not master the method of exceeding the speed of light, you can actually break through the limit of the speed of light and travel across the universe measured in light years in an extremely short time.
Looking at the two clean straight lines drawn by Professor Wei Hong between the two arcs, a surprised expression gradually appeared on Luo Wenxuan's face.
This is the best way.
As the Secretary-General of IMCRC, he always has to answer a large number of work calls every day.
In an office with whiteboards hanging on the walls.
As the crown of differential geometry, the Poincaré conjecture took three generations of mathematicians nearly a century of effort to take it off the mountaintop.
"What did you think of?"
"It's difficult," Wei Hong looked at the calculations on the whiteboard solemnly, a bitter smile gradually appeared on his face, "or to be more precise, it's quite difficult. This involves both the difficulty of more and more complexity, and It is related to the most complex composite problem of high-dimensional differential manifolds and algebraic geometry in mathematics. It is no exaggeration to say that if this problem is abstracted into a mathematical problem, its difficulty will not be lower than the Poincaré conjecture!"
"Is there any way to prove it?"
"Then it's up to you."
Wei Hong also stood up.
Starting just now, including Luo Wenxuan, three people were discussing the issue of "the possible cause of the disturbance of the gravitational field by Z particles." Wei Hong gave a possibility from a mathematical perspective on the whiteboard.
After answering the latter question, Luo Wenxuan swallowed and said in a voice as if he had not yet woken up, "Just now... didn't we discuss whether the stably oscillating Z particles can cause stable curvature in space?"
Wei Hong and Davik ignored him for the time being, stopped discussing the topic, and waited for their teammates to return in quiet thinking.
Facing the partner's inquiry, Professor Wei Hong pondered for about two minutes, sorted out the ideas that came to his mind into simple and easy-to-understand language, and then spoke.
However, at this moment, they did not wait for Luo Wenxuan's footsteps to return, but instead waited for a strange cry from a distance. That voice was probably Professor Luo's, but it was stretched very thin and very long -
"Just a few minutes ago."
It's like the curled space was suddenly straightened.
"The essence of gravity is the curvature of space-time caused by the object's own mass. Z particles moving from high dimensions to low dimensions do not interfere with the gravitational field itself, but change the curvature of space-time relative to the gravitational field."
"This metaphor is inappropriate. To be precise, it is more like building a highway between two undulating mountains."
"It might be possible if he was in his thirties, but now... it's basically impossible," Wei Hong paused and continued, "Currently, Professor Lu is probably the most promising person to solve this problem."
"I understand what you mean, but this sounds... a bit unbelievable. In other words, we only need two Lunar Hadron Colliders to create a portal at the other end of the galaxy?"
“…in a mathematical sense.”
Luo Wenxuan laughed dryly and said: "It's not just about being famous in history... If it can really be done, it must at least be placed in the same position as Einstein."
As he spoke, he picked up the pen and drew two parallel circles on the whiteboard, connecting the upper and lower ends of the circles with two arcs.
However, at this moment, the mobile phone in Luo Wenxuan's pocket suddenly rang.
Taking Mars as an example, the closest distance between Mars and the Earth is 55 million kilometers, and it would take 182 seconds to travel this distance even at the speed of light.
Facing one of the whiteboards that was almost full of writing, Professor Wei Hong, holding a marker in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly broke the silence and said.
Hearing this sentence, Luo Wenxuan and Professor Davidk looked at each other.
Professor Davidic did not give up and tried to make a last effort to speak.
Now that he finally came to his senses, Professor Davidk, who thought he had discovered some surprising idea, quickly cast a questioning look at him.
If this is the case, Luo Wenxuan feels that they can almost give up.
In this curved universe, moving straight from A to B appears to be a straight line, but in fact, in a high-dimensional universe, it is a tortuous journey.
Professor Wei Hong said matter-of-factly: "You have the best relationship with Professor Lu... From the perspective of success rate, it is more appropriate for you to ask him for help."
At least he will follow up on the latest research results.
