Chapter 266 Ether

Just as Li Jie and Lan were interrogating Bart in Master Rooney's laboratory. The other people who were repairing and guarding on the ground were not idle either.

A large part of the reason why Hank the Beast came to hell this time was for experiments and investigations.

It is a fatal temptation for scientists to investigate the structure and dynamics of another world. Especially when there are other intelligent creatures in this world.

Hank carries quite a bit of scientific experiment equipment, although most of it is portable. But even so, it was still a big bag full.

Leaving the last blessed land of Neltharion, the dragon of the earth. The horned demon will not step into this black soil, and no other signs of life activity have been detected nearby.

This was a great test-collection occasion for Hank.

The big bag that Hank brought was as tall as a person, and it was filled with various test and testing instruments in different categories. This kind of heavy package, if it weren't for Hank's infinite power as a mutant, ordinary people wouldn't be able to carry so many things.

As Hank's students, Cyclops and Storm are helping Hank with these instruments. Wolverine is not too interested in these, he smells the smell of cigars in Frank's arms. He went up to ask for one, and the two smoked cigars.

Although Hank has the appearance of a beast, he is very careful, even the movements of soil sampling are very delicate.

He carefully took out the test tube and stored the collected soil and stones in different categories. At the same time, he took out a portable particle trap and began to try to collect particles and subatoms in the air.

Tony Stark, who is also a scientist, and Peter Parker, a top student, watched Hank's actions with great interest. And now the black goblin Harry Osborn was also watching, but he didn't interrupt or participate.

Because he has had a lot of contact with Tony Stark, Harry can't hide his habits as well as Li Jie.

He doesn't want Tony Stark to see through his true identity. Only Tony Stark can do high-profile things like Iron Man.

"What are you doing?" Peter Parker saw Hank turn on the particle trap and start working, so he approached with interest and asked.

"Capturing particles and subatoms." The Beast pulled out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and put them on for himself.

His portable particle trap is much like a laptop, only bigger and bulkier. There is also a tiny radar above the laptop's screen.

But Peter doesn't think it's for receiving WIFI signals. Maybe there are other uses?

Peter soon learns what the tiny radar is for when Hank is fully operational to start the machine.

Many tiny fly-like aircraft flew out from the bottom exit of this machine.

"Exquisite design, you made this yourself? There is no such device on the market." Tony Stark looked at Hank's device and praised it.

"This reminds me of the medium and small particle detectors I designed, but they are not so small and portable. How many useful particles can you capture with this machine?"

"Not a lot, because of the power problem. Sampling and analysis are difficult due to size and power constraints, but at least it can be barely used." Hanke replied while operating the device.

"What kind of subatomic and medium-sized particles are you capturing?" Peter asked with great interest.

"Have you heard of ether particles?" Hank said, turning his head to Tony and Peter, with the device running.

"Please, you are a scientist, not a theologian. Ether? Are you going to study earth, water, fire, and wind at the same time to become an archmage? Oh yes, we have mages here. Hank, you can learn from them and hear about their The training is actually very scientific." Hearing the ether particles, Tony smiled and shook his head.

"What are ether particles?" Harry pulled Peter Parker beside him, he had never heard of such a term.

"Oh, this is knowledge that is not taught in school. It is more like a philosophical concept than physical knowledge." Peter Parker whispered in Harry's ear.

"This is a hypothesis put forward by Aristotle. The composition of all things is ether. Ether particles are the source of all things and the foundation of reality. However, the scientific community has long abandoned the hypothesis of ether."

"At least two hundred years ago, the scientific community has long denied the ether hypothesis. However, it has been preserved as a philosophical thought. It is the earliest knowledge of the classical physics school. Together with the four substances of earth, water, fire and wind, it is recognized as Human beings' earliest exploration and generalization of nature."

"Where did you see this?" Harry glanced at Peter after hearing what he said.

"Oh, the Internet. You know I had to go through all kinds of materials in order to submit a research report to apply for a university." Peter spread his hands.

"The little spider is right. The ether particle has never been proven. It is more of a hypothesis. Or we can entrust it as a spirit, or study it as a philosophy." Tony Stark nodded affirmatively According to Peter Parker.

Iron Man Tony Stark is an applied scientist. Although all the inventions and research he has done are very cutting-edge, most of them are closely related to human life.

Most of his technology is what is needed in everyday reality. Whether it is energy or weapons, or transportation and smelting technology. These are things that are inseparable from life.

Tony rarely does metaphysical things, such as the research that Dr. Charlize, who is now building a base on the moon, is doing, or what Hank is doing now.

But even if Tony doesn't do these things himself, it's not that he doesn't understand the importance of these things. For these studies are the roots, and the applied sciences are the branches attached to these roots.

But things like ether particles are still too much, and they are more partial than the antimatter and dark matter that Charlize wants to study, and they are closer to mysticism than traditional science.

"Ether particles have never been proven. If you really want to explore the mysteries of the universe, I think I can invite you to go to the moon after this operation is over." Tony tried to dismiss Hank's research.

Because he can see that Hank is a rare scientist, and such a talented scientist should use his strength on the right path instead of wasting his energy on useless work.

"If you want to explore the magnificent subject of world composition, I think you and Dr. Charlize will have a common language. He is building a base on the moon, and then he can capture dark matter and antimatter. Those studies may be more helpful. "

"I know that you may think that what I'm doing is absurd, even some nonsense. Because the ether particle has never been really proved." Hank pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said unhurriedly.

"Many people think that Aristotle thousands of years ago just used his own grotesque dreams to give a plausible answer to the ultimate question of mankind."

Tony, Peter and even Harry nodded, they all thought so.

"But if I tell you now that I have detected ether particles, and it is in London on Earth. Then what will you think?" Behind the lens, Hank's eyes were instantly sharp.
