Chapter 1515: Chapter 717
The theoretical group discussed flying cars only as a digression; their main focus was still on research, the most important of which involved the foundation of Spatial Connection Technology based on the Voidon hypothesis. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
This research was extremely complex, requiring various hypotheses and encountering a wide array of problems, in an attempt to construct the most fundamental theory by combining these hypotheses with existing spatial mathematics.
Because the process involved many speculative elements and a great deal of imagination, it was highly likely that issues would arise along the way, but they were confident in the overall direction.
As long as there were no issues with the main aspects of the research, any problems encountered were minor and could be gradually corrected and refined later.
After continuous research, the theoretical group had also completed the foundational framework of ’Voidon Hypothesis Analysis’ for Space Link Technology.
The entire framework analyzed the implementation of spatial connections by using photon movement as nodes to mark the positions of voidons. Positions with identical markings would link directly, but at the same time, a stable space connection channel could only be formed when a large number of voidons in the same area were linked to a large number of positions in the same area.
This was much like building a road: simply creating a smooth surface could only be considered a small paved area and would not form a roadway. Only by creating a vast network of connected paved areas could a real road come into being.
In the process of using photon positions to mark voidons, the most controversial aspect was the theoretical construct related to the connection, which used mathematical ciphers for marking.
For example, a position marked with 12345 corresponded to a voidon marked with 12345. freёwebnovel.com
This marking wasn’t about making physical marks but was done through the frequency at which energy was absorbed by space, akin to the method of waves.
The last point was the main result of the research.
The part of spatial mathematics directly related to particles was almost entirely based on particle state analysis, and particles have both wave and particle characteristics.
After prolonged deliberation, the theoretical group concluded that particle state properties could not possibly link photons and voidons together, and that marking was basically meaningless. It was the wave properties that could explain the effectiveness of marking.
Waves, when placed in three-dimensional space, have many properties, with direction being infinite alone. Using wave properties to mark voidons would allow for an infinite number of connections to be made simultaneously.
This explanation might seem hypothetical elsewhere, but in the context of Space Link Technology, it was different because the technology had already been achieved, and the channels had not only proven stable but had also generated gravity. The theoretical explanation for an already realized technology, with results to support it, ensured that at least the general direction was correct.
The members of the theoretical group realized that the deeper they delved into the research, the more they found that the construction process of the channels was very similar to that of computer data connectivity.
Physically, computer hard drive storage spaces are in different locations but can be effortlessly linked together through computer software.
In the implementation process, the basis was the overall operation and data extraction method, similar to how photons in wave form marked voidons, running altogether within the same area before selectively linking.
"So you’re saying space linking is the process of locking down two areas and then extracting voidon and photon positions to connect them via the wave form of photons?"
"It’s like a computer."
"Think about it, it really is like that. Maybe we can continue to study this line of thought, drawing parallels with computer operations to provide further theoretical explanations, from which we can research methods to enhance the channel. Could experiments prove the feasibility?"
As soon as Qiu Chengwen finished speaking, Edward Witten exclaimed, "My God, although I hope the research is successful, I wish this method would turn up no results at all."
Qiu Chengwen, Zhang Qican, and Zhao Yi all fell silent, understanding what Edward Witten meant: to use computer operations as a reference to parse Space Link Technology, thereby discovering methods to strengthen the channels.
What did this imply?
On a broader scale, it might prove that the universe itself is a supercomputer, which is a terrifying thought when delved into deeply.
There had been similar suggestions long ago, with some scientists believing the universe to be a supercomputer, where all that humans see and hear doesn’t truly exist but is merely a bundle of data, and that humans themselves are also just data.
The laws of the universe that humans have discovered would then be nothing more than computer settings.
For example, the speed of light.
That would be the speed of the computer.
For example, gravity.
That would be the computer’s setting for matter.
All of it, everything, would be settings and data within the universe as a supercomputer, perhaps created by deities, or perhaps that’s just the way the universe has always been.
This notion might sound fantasy-like, yet it still has appeal, because no one can prove it wrong. The deeper the related physics research goes, the more it seems to support the supercomputer theory.
There was the original explanation for Wave-Particle Duality, which suggested that the reason for the duality was merely due to glitches in the universal computer; since all programs have flaws, to simplify the code, particles were set to have two states and not be observable by ’intelligent beings within the program’.
That’s why during the double-slit interference experiment, when observed with a camera, particles displayed particle characteristics, while without a camera, they expressed wave characteristics.
