Chapter 1502: Chapter 711: Creating a Time-Space Distortion
"Why did a tornado appear? What triggered it?"
"I really can’t believe it, since we can see a tornado, I believe we indeed created a tornado generator, which would be a terrifying weapon!"
"Why would you consider it as a weapon? Its underlying principle is what’s most important."
"Of course, everyone knows that."
"We’ve made a huge discovery! A super huge discovery!"
Everyone involved in the experimental research became excited, including the commanders and the staff, each one full of enthusiasm.
The theoretical group was just as excited, and Edward Witten exclaimed in amazement, "A stable space-link channel can actually affect the material level?"
In matter transportation experiments, it had been proven that space links could impact the material level, but these were special cases. First, an area devoid of voidons had to be created. Without an area devoid of voidons, particle transportation could still occur, but the terminal space needed to be compressed, resulting in an extremely small number of particles being transmitted to the other end.
This extremely small number was indeed very negligible.
All the above were already confirmed experiments, and the current experiment did not involve any space compression. It was merely a normal connection between two devices, and additionally, it was a short-distance connection. The environments on both sides were quite similar. To then affect the material level was indeed astonishing.
Edward Witten could no longer express any sense of disappointment; he was even more excited and enthusiastic than anyone else, as if the person who had doubted the experiment before wasn’t him at all.
Or rather, that was the past him, and the past him and the current him were completely different in terms of thought.
Unable to contain his excitement, Edward Witten said fervently, "This is absolutely an astonishing discovery, we need to understand its principle."
"I think something magical might have happened, like molecular exchange." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Perhaps it’s the molecular exchange between both materials that directly formed a mutual airflow, gradually creating the tornado."
"Continuous molecular exchange could slowly increase the size of the tornado, making it bigger and bigger, maybe even creating a super large tornado with a diameter of several kilometers!"
Zhao Yi couldn’t help but give Edward Witten’s wild idea a thumbs-up, as if to endorse Edward’s opinion.
However, Qiu Chengwen threw cold water on the idea, expressing his view, "I don’t think so, molecular exchange has no basis. I believe the tornado that’s appeared may be related to gravity."
"Impossible!"
Edward Witten shook his head immediately, "The space link we’re working on now has nothing to do with an anti-gravity system. I have been studying the theories related to the latest technology, and the anti-gravity system and space links are two completely different things."
"The current experiment involves space linking, which will not produce an effect similar to anti-gravity."
Qiu Chengwen shook his head, "I’m just suggesting a possibility. We haven’t conducted a detailed analysis yet, and simply seeing a tornado doesn’t confirm the cause."
"But you can’t just assume it’s gravity-related, that’s completely illogical."
"And your molecular exchange makes sense? If I hadn’t heard it myself, I would think I’m reading a sci-fi novel!" Qiu Chengwen retorted sarcastically.
Edward Witten immediately countered, "But it makes far more sense than your suggestion."
"I don’t think so."
Zhao Yi was almost laughing on the sidelines as the two men kept arguing, even the tone of their voice sparking flames. He happened to have nothing to do, just waiting for the second experiment to start.
Then, he clenched his fist and quietly chanted, "Come on, come on!"
"——!"
The faces of Edward Witten and Qiu Chengwen both darkened simultaneously. They looked around with a very lethal gaze. People engaged in physics research are very confident, and most are stubborn, insisting on reasoning out their theories even when they don’t make sense, in the hopes that others will agree with their logic.
Just so happened.
Edward Witten and Qiu Chengwen both belonged to this category. Feeling frustrated, they stopped talking and then simultaneously turned to see Zhao Yi, as if they wanted to hear his opinion.
Zhao Yi said, "I think it’s related to space-time."
"Space-time?"
"Are you joking?"
"I’m referring to space-time distortion." Zhao Yi only said four words, and the others understood.
Space-time distortion is often seen in movies and novels, seeming very mystical, often associated with concepts like time travel. In reality, it’s a term in physics proposed by Einstein’s theory, which states that mass can cause distortion in space-time. Because of this, gravitational waves exist, and universal gravitation operates under the framework of space-time distortion.
When Zhao Yi talked about space-time distortion, the others fell silent and pondered, but still didn’t agree with his viewpoint. Edward Witten said, "You think it manufactured gravity? But gravity isn’t that easy to produce, is it?"
"If gravity could be manufactured, this discovery would be magnified countless times!"
Qiu Chengwen said, "It might be worth a hundred Nobel Prizes."
The others found it interesting — when did the Nobel Prize become a unit of measurement?
Qiu Chengwen continued, "I hope it’s true. This technology is too important. If we possess it, we could make a real spacecraft like in the movies, rather than people just floating inside. The spacecraft would become suitable for humans to live and work for long periods."
