Chapter 1242: Chapter 599 As Long as I Run Fast, You Will Never Catch Up!_1

"Because energy is conserved, and the mass of a particle doesn’t change after it absorbs energy, does that mean the mass-energy equation has lost its effect?"

"Is the mass-energy equation invalid in experiments?"

After Zhao Yi had simply explained the principle, everyone in the lab began to think deeply, the more they pondered, the more they found it endlessly fascinating.

"Since the particle has absorbed energy, why hasn’t it transformed into mass?"

"Even if it turned into radiation, that would be okay."

"The radiation energy we calculated accounts for a very small proportion, the gap with the total energy is too large, so the majority is still absorbed by the particles."

"At least fifty percent is absorbed, and some is converted into heat."

"Strong magnetic fields do not occupy energy, so we can conclude that energy is absorbed by the particles."

"But perhaps the fraction that is converted into mass is very small?"

This possibility does exist.

At present there are no experiments on energy converting into mass, just like nuclear reactions, which create a vast amount of energy from a tiny amount of mass. Conversely, consuming a large amount of energy can only create a minuscule amount of mass. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

But someone immediately refuted this idea, "We have already done detailed calculations, very detailed, and can ascertain that the mass of the substance has decreased due to the creation of radiation and heat."

"Normally, in the same reaction, there cannot be opposite pathways, so there is no possibility of energy converting into mass."

What this statement implies is that if a reaction simply absorbs energy, it can’t possibly release energy, and vice versa—if it releases energy, it can’t possibly absorb energy.

If during the experiment, the particles have absorbed energy, it is least likely that internal reactions within the nucleus can simultaneously release energy.

In the experiment, the heat and radiation that are released are external to the atomic nucleus, involving physical and chemical reactions, but the process does not penetrate into the nucleus.

Research personnel argued non-stop.

At the same time, they were also quite excited. The focus of their debate was not on the invalidity of the mass-energy equation but rather on whether particles had absorbed energy.

Zhao Yi was very sure of this point, but others were not entirely certain.

Even if there was a pile of data for evidence, there was no direct proof showing that it was indeed the core of the particles that had absorbed energy.

’The invalidity of the mass-energy equation’s logic’—surely there’s nothing there to debate, as the logic is crystal clear.

If the core of the particles has absorbed energy, the mass-energy equation would definitely be invalid in the reaction.

This was the exciting part.

Zhao Yi’s previous discovery of ’particle degeneration under an antigravity environment’ was already a challenge to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

However, it was merely a challenge and not a direct overthrow or a finding of problems in relativity.

But now it’s different.

The mass-energy equation is more widely accepted and extensively used in the framework of microscopic physics research than relativity, including the verification of nuclear reactions, none of which can do without the mass-energy equation.

The current experiment directly demonstrates the invalidity of the mass-energy equation, which is a significant challenge and limitation to the very application range of the equation itself.

This resembled Einstein challenging Newton.

Newton’s law of universal gravitation becomes inadequate in the study of the universe, hence the emergence of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

But this doesn’t mean that Newton’s theory is wrong, rather, the application range of Newton’s theory is limited. Some phenomena that it can’t explain need to be interpreted by Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

Now, the same is true.

In the vast majority of cases, the mass-energy equation is correct and could be said to be universal in microscopic physics, yet they have discovered a situation where the mass-energy equation is invalid, specifically in research on space compression, suggesting that research on space compression completely transcends the existing physics framework.

This alone was enough to excite them.

The experiment began.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the superconducting antigravity device filled with copper-based materials showed no sign of antigravity characteristics.

The researchers adjusted the device several times and eventually replaced the compressed copper-based material with ordinary copper-based material, which then exhibited normal antigravity characteristics.

Five percent.

This figure wasn’t high, but when compared to the clear experimental results, it was evident that the antigravity effect of the compressed copper-based superconducting material drastically decreased, to the point where ’increasing power could not generate antigravity effects.’

Everyone in the lab was extremely excited because the result they wanted was the weakening of the antigravity properties of the superconducting material after it was energized.

Now, it wasn’t just a weakening; they couldn’t detect any antigravity effects at all.

While the result was exciting, it was also surprising.

With the development of the antigravity foundation, the accompanying assistive technologies also made significant advancements, such as the new device in the laboratory—

The Antigravity Index Tester.

The Antigravity Index Tester is a device specifically designed to test the antigravity index. As long as the antigravity effect is higher than one percent, it can be directly detected by the device, and the instrument’s dial will show a reading.

In the current experiment, the Antigravity Index Tester was placed above the superconducting antigravity device. The result was that the tester’s needle didn’t move at all, as if the antigravity device had not been activated.

"Even if the antigravity effect is reduced, it can’t possibly be completely gone, can it?"

"Could there be an error in the experiment?"

"Isn’t the absence of a result the best result? The compressed superconducting material has lost its antigravity properties."
