Chapter 946 Xu Chuan: Anything that can be solved with money is nothing!
As Xu Chuan uploaded papers related to "Void Field·Dark Matter Theory" to the arxiv preprint website, the entire physics community became lively again.
On the internationally renowned physics forum PhysicsForums, related discussions almost overwhelmed the website.
Some people who support the void field dark matter theory believe that this theory is logical and quite sophisticated, and can unravel the current mystery of dark matter.
There are also those who oppose this theory, saying that due to the nature of dark matter, it is impossible to gather into dark matter stars, let alone the phenomenon of dark matter decay. Otherwise, the dark matter in the universe would have decayed long ago.
For a time, controversy continued on major forums.
[As for the dark matter part of the void field theory, I have to say that his speculation is really bold. In addition to giving a brand-new explanation of dark matter particles, he even predicted the existence of super celestial bodies such as stars composed of dark matter. 】
[Large-mass dark matter particles can decay into small- and medium-mass dark matter particles. This is indeed a theory that has never been imagined. But this is indeed a very good idea. It can not only explain the expansion of the universe, but also explain the formation of celestial bodies such as massive black holes and quasars. 】
[I can’t believe that you actually find such an outrageous theory to be reliable. Dark matter does not have the conditions to form stars at all. It is itself a single particle of matter, and it is impossible to decay and release energy. This theory is not too outrageous. 】
[Indeed, you believe too much in Professor Xu Chuan, and the theory he proposed is not necessarily correct. Einstein was never mythologized like this during his lifetime. This is simply outrageous. 】
[And more importantly, even if dark matter particles can fission, when will fission release more energy than fusion? ? ? This is not scientific! 】
[Whether it is scientific or not is not decided by you or me, but it must be completed through experimental observations and mathematical calculations. Moreover, if I don’t believe Professor Xu about these cutting-edge theoretical scientific research, is it possible that I still believe you? 】
[Apart from the mathematical calculation formulas that I don’t understand very well, I think Professor Xu Chuan’s new theory is quite interesting. 】

The discussion at the PhysicsForums International Physics Forum is just a microcosm of the academic community. Not only the physics community, but also the neighboring mathematics community, astronomy community and even government agencies of various countries have turned their attention to it.
If it is just a novel dark matter theory, unless it is really confirmed, that is usually the case for academic circles.
Even if it is a theory proposed by a Nobel Prize winner, I am afraid it will not be so valued by all walks of life.
After all, when it comes to dark matter, the most cutting-edge thing in theoretical physics, it is no exaggeration to say that every physicist has his or her own different opinions.
But Professor Xu Chuan from China is different.
He is not only a top theoretical scholar, but also a scholar who can transform cutting-edge theory into applied technology.
The completion of controllable nuclear fusion technology alone is enough for all countries in the world to pay attention to every opinion and theory he puts forward.
Europe, Geneva, headquarters of the CERN agency.
"Dark matter stars? That's ridiculous!"
Sitting in his office chair, looking at the printed paper in his hand, Professor Price Carter had a look of disdain on his face, and threw the paper that he had just printed out on his desk, still smelling of ink.
"Dark matter that lacks electromagnetic interaction, tell me how to radiate and absorb photons? How to fuse stars? It's such a wild idea. Professor Xu is becoming more and more whimsical now. He doesn't write science fiction novels and make science fiction. The movie is really a pity.”
He has finished reading the paper on void field and dark matter theory.
Apart from some mathematical calculations that are still unclear, other theories are not difficult for a top physicist like him to understand.
However, it is one thing to understand the paper, and it is another thing to approve the paper.
To them, the void field and dark matter theory proposed by Xu Chuan was simply outrageous. In order to ensure that the theory was correct, that person even fabricated such things as dark matter stars.
According to the meaning in the paper, can he also say that there are still boson stars and quark stars in the universe?
You must know that neither bosons nor quarks will theoretically annihilate like ordinary stars composed of fermions, but will instead superimpose into matter with higher energy.
Especially for quark stars, it is entirely possible for moderate gravity to compress particles smaller than neutrons without being crushed to form a black hole.
The density of the celestial body formed in this way is between that of a neutron star and a black hole, and it can be called a quark star.
Considering the nature of dark matter, it is simply outrageous to say that it can also form stars.
Fortunately, he used to think that the other party was a top physicist, so his imagination was just like the civil science of business.
"I think his paper is quite interesting."
Opposite the sofa, Professor Faulkner Theis from the University of Munich pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and continued with an interested look on his face.
"We don't know much about dark matter. There are no obvious logical loopholes in the theory he completed, and there are no big problems in mathematical calculations."
"If dark matter can really bring together large-mass dark matter particles through a force, and release a secondary dark matter particle through spontaneous void rupture. Then... this may become the greatest physics of the 21st century. Learn to discover.”
After hearing this partner's opinion, Professor Price Carter said with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
"You actually agree with his thesis?"
"How can you believe such an outrageous view?"
Professor Faulkner Theis shrugged and said: "Why not? Putting aside my prejudices, I think this paper written by Professor Xu is still very good."
"At least it can help us further understand the exploration of dark matter particles, right?"
"Honestly, I think we should take this paper seriously. After all, there is probably no one who is more familiar with dark matter than him."
Professor Faulkner Tice's words obviously directly aroused Price Carter's dissatisfaction. He couldn't hold it in any longer and sneered.
"Understood? We should be the team that knows the most about dark matter!"
"Kadra dark matter particles have shown us detailed particle properties! From this point of view, dark matter does not have the ability to collapse into stars!"
Faulkner Theis spread his hands and said nothing further.
Obviously, although they were partners in completing the Kadra dark matter exploration experiment, the two had obviously different opinions on Professor Xu's void field and dark matter theory paper.
Or in other words, Professor Price Carter viewed this paper with obvious prejudice. He firmly believes that his research is correct and that Kadra's exploration of dark matter particles is correct.
This kind of 'paranoid' characteristic is actually present in most scientists, including himself. Many times when he is sure of something, he will stubbornly believe that his own opinion is correct.
But compared to most scholars, Price Carter's paranoia can no longer be called paranoia. It is more that he has been affected by other emotions, such as dissatisfaction, resentment, etc., and he has begun to ignore right and wrong.
And, to put it another way, is the Kadra dark matter they discovered really a dark matter particle?
At first, Faulkner Theis did believe it.
Because judging from various data and indicator information data of sterile neutrinos, the matter they discovered is indeed the phenomenon closest to dark matter particles possible.
But ever since the scholar named Lin Feng came to CERN to participate in the acceptance report meeting on behalf of Professor Xu, he had given up any hope that Kadra dark matter was a dark matter particle.
Now I continue to work with Plath Carter on research, just to see what they have discovered.
Opposite the sofa, Price Carter continued to add in a somewhat mocking tone: "Returning to dark matter stars is just making it up. If dark stars really existed, the astronomical community would have discovered them long ago!"
Although he said he still didn't believe in the theory of void field and dark matter published by Xu Chuan, in fact, what he didn't even realize in his heart was that he had actually accepted this paper in his heart.
The current ridicule is just that he is unwilling to admit his own heart. He is resisting himself, unwilling to admit his own failure, let alone the success of his opponent.
Dark matter stars, if the astronomical community really finds this mysterious star through observation equipment, it is conceivable that the Kadra dark matter he studied will completely fail.
After all, with his particles and research, there are significant differences between the results of the two parties.
If Xu Chuan's theory is verified to be correct, it means that his research and Kadra dark matter will be swept into the trash can.
He now only expects that the CRHPC agency will suffer major setbacks in dark matter research. At least until he has optimized the defects of Kadra dark matter, the project will be stalled and there will be no results.
Just when he was thinking about these things, Price Carter didn't even realize that his mentality had completely lost his mind.
Of course, it's also possible that he's aware of it but just doesn't want to admit it.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Eurasia.
China, Star City.
At the headquarters of CRHPC in Taohualing, preparations for a new round of collision experiments are in full swing.
Standing in the main control room, staring at a huge customized display screen, Xu Chuan wore a headset and listened to the work reports of various working groups.
Professor Arthur McDonald walked in from the door, holding a collision experiment report document in his hand, and walked next to him and asked curiously.
"I saw the arrangement of the collision experiment. This time the experiment is set above 35 Tev. According to the void field dark matter theory you previously disclosed, it is necessary to search for large-mass dark matter particles with different energy levels. An energy level above 17 Tev should be enough. Right? ”
Hearing the inquiry, Xu Chuan turned his head and glanced at the 15-year Nobel Prize winner in physics, smiled slightly, and said: "To be precise, the energy level of 35 Tev is just the starting point of this collision experiment. ”
"After completing the first experiment, the subsequent energy levels will be further increased to four levels: 50Tev, 75Tev, 100Tev and 125Tev."
Arthur MacDonald opened his mouth and couldn't help but ask: "Do you suspect that there are existences in higher energy levels that are larger than the most massive dark matter particles previously detected?"
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head and said: "That's not true. Theoretically speaking, there should be no massive dark matter particles with an energy level exceeding 125 Tev."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Raising the energy level is just to make our experimental data clearer."
Arthur Macdonald: "."
Opening his mouth, he complained: "But do you know how much electrical energy is needed to raise the energy level to above 100Tev? One 100Tev energy level experiment is enough to conduct at least five or six 35Tev energy level experiments."
The construction, operation, and scientific research experiments of the Large Strong Particle Collider are extremely costly matters.
For example, high-energy particles themselves cause damage to equipment. Many equipment of the collider are specialized and lack versatility.
Once a key component is damaged, it is extremely troublesome to replace or repair it.
But what really consumes money is the huge energy supply required to run the collider.
Did you know that when Europe was short of energy before, it even shut down the LHC before it was upgraded. The reason is that the power consumed by each LHC experiment is calculated in megawatts.
The LHC collider with an energy level of 14 Tev alone consumes enough electricity to power more than 300,000 households for an entire year.
If it is replaced by the CRHPC ring super particle collider and the energy level is raised to above 100 Tev, I am afraid that one collision experiment will consume at least half a year's power of the LHC.
After all, the improvement of energy level means that the power consumption increases exponentially.
Hearing the words about power consumption, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile and said: "For CRHPC, power consumption is almost meaningless, and it is not among the considerations in our arrangement of collision experiments."
"No matter how much power it consumes each time it is run, it is only a drop in the bucket for the fusion station built next to it."
As early as when CRHPC was being built, he had considered the huge power consumption of the collider.
Therefore, near the Xiangjiang River, there is a fusion power station specially built for this behemoth.
Hundreds of thousands of megawatts of electricity, the huge energy required for each collision experiment, are just something that the nearby fusion reactor can produce by casually consuming some deuterium and tritium raw materials.
Of course, even if CRHPC builds a fusion reactor to provide power, it cannot conduct collision experiments every day.
After all, the higher the energy level of the collision, the greater the damage caused by the high-energy particles produced to the detector and related experimental equipment, and the longer it will take for repairs.
But in order to quickly verify his theory, Xu Chuan no longer cares about these things.
Isn't it just a matter of spending some money on repairs or something?
For him, as long as it can be solved with money, it doesn't matter.
