Chapter 946 Xu Chuan: Anything that Can Be Solved with Money Is Not a Problem!
As Xu Chuan uploaded the paper 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, the related discussions almost squeezed the website directly.
Some people support the theory of void field dark matter, believing that this theory is logical and quite ingenious, and can reveal the current mystery of dark matter.
There are also people who oppose this theory, saying that it is impossible for dark matter to gather into dark matter stars based on its properties, and it is even more impossible for dark matter to decay, otherwise the dark matter in the universe would have decayed long ago.
For a time, there were constant disputes on major forums.
[The dark matter part of the void field theory, it must be said that his speculation is really bold. In addition to making a new explanation for dark matter particles, it even predicts 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 massive black holes and quasars. 】
【I can't believe that you think such an outrageous theory is reliable. Dark matter does not have the conditions to form stars. It is a single-particle substance, and it is even more impossible to decay and release energy. This theory is too outrageous. 】
【Indeed, you trust Professor Xu Chuan too much. The theory he proposed is not necessarily correct. Einstein was not deified like this when he was alive. This is too outrageous. 】
【And more importantly, even if dark matter particles can fission, when will the energy released by fission be more than fusion? ? ? This is not scientific! 】
【Whether it is scientific or not is not up to you and me, but it must be completed through experimental observation and mathematical calculation. Moreover, if I don't believe in Professor Xu, do I still believe in you? 】
[Apart from the mathematical calculation formulas that I don't quite understand, 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 mathematics community, astronomy community and even government agencies of various countries have all turned their attention to it.
If it is just a set of novel dark matter theories, unless it is really confirmed, it is usually just that for the academic community.
Even if the theory proposed by the Nobel Prize winner is proposed, it is probably not so valued by all walks of life.
After all, facing dark matter, the most cutting-edge thing in theoretical physics, it is no exaggeration to say that every physicist has more or less different opinions in his heart.
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 theories into applied technology.
The completion of controlled nuclear fusion technology alone is enough to make all countries in the world pay attention to every opinion and every theory he puts forward.
The headquarters of the CERN organization in Geneva, Europe.
"Dark matter stars? It's so funny!"
Sitting in the office chair, looking at the printed paper in his hand, Professor Price Carter had a look of contempt on his face, and threw the paper that was just printed on the desk.
"How can dark matter without electromagnetic interaction radiate and absorb photons? How to fuse stars? What a brain-opening idea. Professor Xu is getting more and more whimsical now. It's a pity that he doesn't write science fiction novels and make science fiction movies."
He has finished reading the paper on the theory of void field and dark matter.
Apart from some mathematical calculations that he doesn't understand for the time being, other theories are not difficult to understand for a top physicist like him.
But understanding the paper is one thing, and recognizing the paper is another.
For them, the theory of void field and dark matter proposed by Xu Chuan is simply outrageous. In order to ensure the correctness of the theory, that person even fabricated something like dark matter stars.
According to the meaning of the paper, can he still say that there are boson stars and quark stars in the universe?
You know, in theory, neither bosons nor quarks will annihilate like ordinary stars composed of fermions, but will be superimposed into matter with higher energy.
Especially for quark stars, moderate gravity is completely possible 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 neutron stars and black holes, and it can be called a quark star.
Given the nature of dark matter, it is simply too outrageous to say that it can form stars.
He used to think that the other party was a top physicist, but his imagination was just like that of a professional amateur scientist.
"I think his paper is quite interesting."
Across the sofa, Professor Faulkner Theis from the University of Munich pushed his glasses on his nose with his hand, with an interested look on his face, and continued.
"We don't know much about dark matter. There are no obvious logical loopholes in the theory he completed, and there are no major problems with the mathematical calculations."
"If dark matter can really gather massive dark matter particles together through a force, and release a secondary dark matter particle through spontaneous void breaking. Then, this may become the greatest physical discovery of the 21st century."
Hearing the opinion of this partner, Professor Price Carter said with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
"You actually agree with his paper?"
"Such an outrageous view, you actually believe it?"
Professor Faulkner Tice shrugged and said, "Why not? Putting aside prejudice, I think the paper written by Professor Xu is still very good."
"At least it can help us further understand the exploration of dark matter particles, right?"
"To be honest, I think we should pay attention to this paper. After all, I am afraid that no one is more familiar with dark matter than him."
Professor Faulkner Tice's words obviously caused Price Carter's dissatisfaction. He couldn't hold it back and sneered.
"Understand? We should be the team that knows dark matter best!"
"Kardra 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 at all!"
Falkner Tice spread his hands and said nothing more.
It is obvious that although they are partners who have completed the Cardra dark matter exploration experiment, they have obviously different views on Professor Xu's void field dark matter theory paper.
Or in other words, Professor Price Carter looks at this paper with obvious prejudice in his heart.
He firmly believes that his research is correct and that the exploration of Cardra dark matter particles is correct.
This kind of "paranoid" characteristic actually exists in most scientists, including himself. Many times, when they identify one thing, they will also stubbornly believe that their views are correct.
However, compared with 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 and resentment, and has begun to ignore right and wrong.
Moreover, from another perspective, is the Kedra dark matter they discovered really a dark matter particle?
At the beginning, Faulkner Tice did believe it.
Because from various data and the indicator information data of inert neutrinos, the matter they discovered is indeed the phenomenon that may be closest to dark matter particles.
But since the scholar named Lin Feng came to CERN on behalf of Professor Xu to participate in the acceptance report meeting, he has no hope that the Kedra dark matter is a dark matter particle.
Now he is still continuing to cooperate with Price Carter in research, just to see what their discovery is.
Across the sofa, Price Carter continued to add with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Dark matter stars, it's just nonsense. If there really is a dark star, the astronomical community would have discovered it long ago!"
Although he still didn't believe in the void field dark matter theory that Xu Chuan had made public, in fact, even he himself didn't realize that he had actually accepted this paper in his heart.
The ridicule now is just that he is unwilling to admit his heart. He is resisting himself, unwilling to admit his failure, and even more unwilling to admit 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 in the results of both sides.
If Xu Chuan's theory is proven to be correct, it means that his research and Kadra dark matter will be swept into the trash can.
He now only hopes that the CRHPC organization will suffer a major setback in the research of dark matter, at least before he optimizes the defects of Kadra dark matter, the project will stagnate and there will be no results.
Just when thinking about these things, Price Carter didn't even realize that his mentality had completely lost his mind.
Of course, it is also possible that he realized it, but just didn't want to admit it.
At the same time, on the other side of the Eurasian continent.
China, Star City.
At the headquarters of Taohualing CRHPC, a new round of collision experiments are being prepared in full swing.
Standing in the main control room, staring at a huge custom display screen, Xu Chuan wore a headset and listened to the work reports of various working groups.
Professor Arthur McDonald, who walked in from the door, holding a collision experiment report in his hand, walked to his side and asked curiously.
"I saw the arrangement of the collision experiment. This time the experiment is set above 35Tev. According to the void field dark matter theory you previously disclosed, looking for large-mass dark matter particles of different energy levels, the energy level should be above 17Tev, right?"
Hearing the question in his ear, 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 35Tev is just the starting point of this collision experiment."
"After completing the first experiment, the subsequent energy levels will be further increased to 50Tev, 75Tev, 100Tev and 125Tev."
Arthur McDonald opened his mouth and couldn't help asking: "Do you suspect that there are dark matter particles with higher energy levels than the largest mass previously explored?"
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "That's not the case. Theoretically, there should be no dark matter particles with a mass of more than 125Tev."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Raising the energy level is just to make our experimental data clearer."
Arthur McDonald: "."
Opening his mouth, he complained: "But do you know how much electricity is needed to raise the energy level to more than 100Tev? A 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 Intense Particle Collider are extremely costly.
For example, the damage caused by high-energy particles themselves to the equipment, many of the collider's equipment are specialized and lack universality.
Once a key component is damaged, it is an extremely troublesome thing to replace or repair it.
But the real cost of money is the huge energy supply required for the collider to operate.
Haven't you seen that when Europe was short of energy before, it even shut down the LHC before upgrading. The reason is that the power consumed by each LHC experiment is calculated in megawatts.
The LHC collider, which has an energy level of only 14Tev, consumes enough electricity each year to provide electricity for more than 300,000 households for a whole year.
If it is replaced by the CRHPC circular super particle collider and the energy level is raised to more than 100Tev, I am afraid that a collision experiment will consume at least half a year's electricity of the LHC.
After all, the increase in 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 a factor in our considerations for arranging collision experiments."
"No matter how much power it consumes each time it runs, it is just a drop in the bucket for the fusion station built next to it."
As early as when CRHPC was built, he had considered the huge power consumption of the collider.
Therefore, near the Xiangjiang River, there is a fusion power station built specifically for this behemoth.
Hundreds of thousands of megawatts of electricity, the huge energy required for each collision experiment, is just something that the fusion reactor next to them can produce by consuming some deuterium and tritium raw materials.
Of course, even if CRHPC has a fusion reactor built specifically to provide it with electricity, it is not possible to conduct collision experiments every day.
After all, the higher the energy level of the collision, the greater the damage to the detector and related experimental equipment caused by the high-energy particles produced, and the longer it takes to repair.
However, in order to quickly verify his theory, Xu Chuan no longer cares about these things.
Isn't repairing something just a matter of spending some money?
To him, as long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem.
