From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Chapter 519 Antimatter? Annihilation particles? Wang Hao: This is a new research direction!

Perhaps it was Wang Hao's 'deterrence', or perhaps it was just a coincidence. For two consecutive days, no team submitted a report.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that a domestic team submitted a report. The analysis process in their report was very rigorous and the results obtained had minimal deviations.

Wang Hao also immediately pointed out two minor problems, but considering that the problems were small, he decided to revise and include them in time.

"Huh~~"

When it was confirmed that the report was passed, the team reporter and other members took a long breath and showed relaxed smiles on their faces.

They felt like they were back in their student days, making graduation project reports in front of several review instructors.

Only when you finally pass it can you relax.

This news also made other groups feel a little more relaxed. After all, a report has passed the review, and they have almost understood the 'standard' for passing the report - there can be small mistakes, but the analysis deviation cannot be large.

soon.

Each group has submitted its report, and the review work will be carried out tomorrow morning and afternoon, and the reports of the groups continue to pass the review.

During the subsequent review work, many people went to the conference hall for a long time to listen. On the one hand, they were curious whether Wang Hao could find the problem. On the other hand, they also listened carefully to the content to see if they could find out the problem. question.

The result is……

"I'm convinced!"

"I didn't hear any problem at all, but Professor Wang Hao immediately pointed out the problem..."

"This is the gap! Professor Wang Hao deserves to be Professor Wang Hao. The reason why I say this is because I can't think of anyone who can compare with him..."

"The quality of the report of this experiment must be very good. At worst, there will be no big deviation."

Many people are looking forward to the results.

Once all the reports have been reviewed, they are uploaded to an internal website for review, and then it is time to harvest the results.

Everyone who participates in the experiment can make their own research results based on the experimental process, information and report data. If they can directly draw some conclusions, the results will be regarded as personal or team, but they will be labeled as the project team. .

This is the same pattern as some large international research projects.

For example, for CERN's particle collision experiment, each experiment report is open to all member states. Whether the content can be analyzed through the report data depends on the level of the individual and the team.

Some scientists have completed some top papers related to quantum physics through the research of a large amount of data, and published them in top international journals.

In some cases, nothing was found.

After all the reports have been reviewed, the project team will conduct research as a whole, which will last for about two weeks.

Wang Hao is the general technical consultant. He proposed that the nature of the explosion was a 'neutron explosion', but proving it was a very complicated matter that required experimental conditions and a large amount of data to draw conclusions.

There are many things that can be referenced, such as the proportion of various particles in the escaped heat when a heat source escapes.

For example, the location where the explosion occurred instantaneously, and the explosion in all directions.

For example, the form of the explosion, determining what kind of impact the equipment had in it, etc.

etc.

In the later summary meeting, Yuni Novotny released some definite content, "The intensity of this explosion was much greater than the last one (American military). In summary, it was equivalent to 3850 Kilograms of TNT.”

"Judging from the instantaneous footage and analysis of the on-site situation, the explosion location was at the thin layer of the strong annihilation force field. There were four locations with the highest energy intensity. There were also small bursts at other locations. There is no definite pattern."

"The images and sounds of the explosion are directly related to the destruction of the equipment and the impact of the explosion on the ground. We have analyzed and determined that the explosion is most likely to be a pure energy explosion."

‘Pure energy burst’ is a very important conclusion.

For example, the explosion of black powder is a chemical explosion. The reaction itself will produce fire and make a violent sound.

The same goes for atomic bomb explosions.

The nuclear fission reaction still involves changes in the material itself, and the release of a large amount of heat can cause the reaction to grow exponentially, thus releasing more energy.

‘Pure energy burst’ is different.

A 'pure energy burst' requires a material medium to produce light and sound. The reaction itself does not involve direct materials, and no matter is produced.

The conclusion stated by Yunir Novotny caused an uproar at the meeting.

Many people's understanding of 'particle explosion' or 'neutron explosion' is very similar to nuclear fusion reaction, that is, particles or neutrons participate in some kind of nuclear reaction, bursting out energy and generating some new particles at the same time. The result turns out to be 'pure' Energy blast'?

How to understand this!

What kind of reaction releases only energy without producing matter?

The next person to take the stage is Korot James.

What he came up with was summary data, which was to measure the particle characteristics of each part of the energy escaping, the intensity and nature of the explosion, the intensity change of the energy burst in a short period of time, etc. He compiled several lists and displayed them on On the conference screen, everyone can see clearly.

"This is the end result of the experiment."

"I believe it contains a lot of things, but until now, at least I haven't analyzed anything."

Korot-James laughed at himself and continued, "Professor Wang Hao thought it was a neutron explosion, and Mr. Novotny concluded it was a pure energy explosion. If the explosion form is a form that humans have never been exposed to, it will be very difficult." It’s hard to imagine, maybe I can only give a definition or something.”

"Of course, I hope that I have met someone who is knowledgeable and can help us solve this mystery..."

Kolot-James talked for a long time but seemed not to say anything, but everyone could understand it because it was too difficult to analyze and draw conclusions in a short time.

The only definite result now is a series of report data and the explosion situation.

How can it be so easy to draw some conclusions through the analysis of so many complicated data? The experimental research has come to a standstill, and the experimental project can only go so far.

The hotel's main entrance.

The comings and goings of send-offs are underway, experimental projects are over, and some teams, groups, and individuals are getting ready to leave.

Junior Novotny and Bill Bryan are also leaving.

Wang Hao sent Novotini and Brian off, and they stood together in the small garden square at the main entrance, talking about issues related to the experiment.

Wang Hao asked, "What do you think of Mr. James' question?"

"You mean...have humans been exposed to similar explosions?" Yunil Novotini immediately responded, "Bill and I are also talking about this."

"What do you think?"

Yunior Novotny asked rhetorically.

Wang Haodao, "A form of pure energy burst, directly related to particles. This type of energy burst can only appear in particle-related experiments, such as particle collision experiments, or high-energy particle research."

"If there had been an experiment—"

When he said this, there was a sudden pause, Novotini and Brian thought along the voice, their eyes widened almost at the same time, and they uttered a word--

"Antimatter!"

The two looked at each other and said with surprise, "It really could be antimatter!"

"Proton and antimatter cancel each other out, and a huge amount of energy will burst out. In other words, may we have created antineutrons?"

"But how was it made?"

"Perhaps, there may be principles inside that we don't know about..."

"The strong annihilation force will cause the internal reactions of particles to change, but it is just the escape of energy. There is no reason to create... If it is an extremely strong anti-gravity field, it feels like it will matter."

"In short, this is a good idea. We can check the nuclear organization and the information at Fermilab. We may be able to find something."

Novotny and Brian left with a surprise.

Antimatter is indeed a very consistent idea. Theoretically speaking, antimatter and antimatter cancel each other out and can explode with huge energy.

This process is an explosion of pure energy.

Although the existence of antimatter has not been clearly proven, human research on antimatter has also made progress.

As early as 1995, a particle collision experiment conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear Organization "suspected" to have discovered a small number of antihydrogen atoms.

In 2010, CERN announced that they had captured a small amount of "antimatter", that is, a small amount of antihydrogen atoms, through the Large Hadron Collider.

This is not clear proof of the existence of antimatter.

The way CERN captures antimatter is to conduct experiments through the Hadron Collider, and then conduct very complex data analysis. During the analysis process, it was discovered that a "few single atoms" disappeared and exploded with huge energy.

This discovery is considered a 'antimatter cancellation explosion'.

Similar discoveries were made not only by CERN, but also by Fermilab. They once even claimed to have created tens of thousands of antihydrogen atoms.

"Tens of thousands of antihydrogen atoms" sounds a bit scary. In fact, it is just the analysis and conclusion of abnormal energy burst data detected during the experiment, rather than actually creating antihydrogen atoms. and save it.

But it is undeniable that the ‘abnormal energy burst’ data that appeared in the particle collision experiment is very significant.

To put it simply, it is approximately the conversion of mass into energy.

Relying on the 'mass-energy equation', we can easily calculate how much energy mass loss can be converted into. Even if it is just a hydrogen atom, the energy converted is very amazing.

Famous physicist Rob Thompson has participated in antimatter research experiments. He believes that "the discovery of antimatter will lead to changes in mankind and make mankind's dream of interstellar travel a reality."

There are many science fiction novels in which interstellar spacecraft are fueled by antimatter.

To give the simplest example, sending humans to Mars requires more than tens of millions of tons of chemical raw materials, but if antimatter is used as fuel, only tens of milligrams are needed, and the time is also greatly shortened, only six weeks. It will arrive in time.

From this we can see how huge the ‘energy of mass conversion’ will be.

This is also the biggest motivation for antimatter research in the physics community.

If we can actively create antimatter and have it react with matter to create energy, it will be much more attractive than "controllable nuclear fusion".

The experimental project is over.

The project team has reached several definite conclusions, including 'reaction involving particles', 'pure energy explosion', etc., but the basic principle of the explosion is still not understood.

The follow-up depends on individual or team research.

Many individuals and teams who participated in the experiment could not wait to return and participate in the analysis and research of the public data report information.

This time point is the easiest to produce results.

He Yi was also a little anxious, but he was not in a hurry to go back to do research, but talked about the issue of 'antimatter', "Academician Wang! You thought of antimatter, why did you say it directly? I wanted to remind you at the time but you couldn't Just say it directly..."

"They can get a lot of information when they go back. We haven't found antimatter, and we can't find much information. The results belong to them."

"Isn't the experiment done for them?"

"We suffered so much!"

Wang Hao smiled nonchalantly and said, "If it is confirmed to be antimatter, it is good news. At least we have determined the explosion method. Moreover, maybe it is just an energy explosion,"

He Yi thought about it carefully and asked doubtfully, "You mean, antimatter does not exist?"

Wang Haodao, "You have to consider the annihilation theory. Energy can be annihilated, why can't particles? The cancellation burst of matter and antimatter can also be understood as the 'annihilation burst of particles with mass'."

The existence of antimatter is just a theory in itself.

Those so-called "experimental discoveries" are just using antimatter to explain experimental phenomena, rather than confirming the existence of antimatter.

The experiment, was to detect mass loss and energy burst.

If placed in the annihilation theory, it can naturally be understood as 'massive particles are annihilated and burst out with energy', or theoretically 'the mass point structure collapses into energy'.

He Yi's eyes suddenly widened as he thought about it, "This explanation... can perfectly replace the antimatter theory."

Wang Hao continued, "In addition, a theory is just a theory after all. Whether it is antimatter or annihilation-mass particles, if you want to prove it, you must pass experiments."

"How many times do you think they can do similar experiments?"

Before He Yi could answer, Wang Hao continued, "There is no doubt that this is a new research direction. They can only conduct experiments by creating explosions of thin layers of strong annihilation force fields. Each experiment will consume huge amounts of money. It’s still hard to gain anything.”

"And we can use DC technology to create a strong annihilation force field area and create a heat source inside the field force. We only need one piece of equipment to continuously increase the intensity of the heat source to conduct experiments."

He Yi's eyes widened as he thought about it, and he said in surprise, "So, we can research new directions and new technologies?"

Wang Hao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Don't have high hopes."

"Whether it is antimatter or annihilation particles, I think they are future technologies. Even if they are discovered, it will be difficult to use them."

"I'm more interested in the physical laws contained in it."

"Is there antimatter, or are particles annihilated? How does the energy explosion occur..." Wang Hao said with excitement.

The mystery of physics is really intoxicating...
