Chapter 276 Dark Matter

"What I plan to study next is dark matter!" Lu Qiujian entered this sentence in the dialog box, and then sent it to a reporter from the Youth Daily!

"Are you talking about dark-matter?" The reporter opposite obviously had a few brushes, and he quickly understood what Lu Qiujian was talking about. The visible matter in the universe only accounts for less than 4% of the total matter in the universe.

The remaining % of the matter content is dark matter, and the remaining 73% is dark energy. (There are slight differences in the proportions of these three types in different materials. If one is chosen randomly here, it will not have much impact on the subsequent plot.

)

"Yes, dark matter and dark energy are both hot topics in physics research at present. I am not immune to this. I want to try and see what achievements I can make!" Without waiting for a response, Lu Qiujian was about to leave.

"Sorry, there are still things going on in the laboratory, so that's the end of today's interview. See you next time when you have time!"

"Oh, okay, see you next time!" It took a long time for the reporter opposite to react. By the time he entered the above words and sent them, Lu Qiujian's profile picture had already dimmed.

"Editor-in-Chief! Leave me a space, I have interviewed Lu Qiujian!" In the editorial office of "Team Daily", a reporter stood up from the computer and said excitedly. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, "My QQ account is so special."

There were so many stars hanging out, I finally caught Lu Qiujian!

Scenes like this are happening in the editorial offices of almost every major sports media in Europe. When Lu Qiujian retires and returns to China, the QQ accounts of these reporters have several suns! This QQ level is simply comparable to those of those

Bored college students who spend all night in Internet cafes every day!

"How's it going? Did you get any big news?" The editor-in-chief of "Youth Daily" had been peeping at this reporter who had just been recruited from the Physics Department of Shuimu University for a long time.

"Well, there is very important news. Dr. Lu does not plan to continue studying the Higgs boson. He has a new research direction!" Li Meng, a female reporter who was responsible for following Lu Qiujian shortly after arriving at the newspaper, replied.

.

"Oh? Then what does he plan to study?" The editor-in-chief stood there slightly embarrassed. Hey, this kid is good at everything, but he is not good at eye contact. Can I understand this kind of inscrutable physics knowledge? You still can

Don't tell me the matter quickly. Explain it in words I can understand.

"Dr. Lu's new direction is dark-matter, which is dark matter!" Li Meng finally realized that she had graduated from school, and the person in front of her now was not her teacher. The editor-in-chief probably didn't understand what dark matter was. So.

She quickly explained, "At the end of the 19th century

On the last day, the famous British physicist William Thomson said when looking forward to the 20th century physics, "The dynamic theory affirmed that heat and light are two ways of motion. Now, its beautiful and clear sky is covered by two dark clouds."

Shrouded', these two dark clouds are ether drift and black body radiation."

Seeing that Li Meng seemed to be talking for a long time, the editor-in-chief simply pulled up a chair and sat next to her and listened closely; "In order to solve these two problems, physicists have worked tirelessly to create the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.

Two great physical theories, which became the basis of modern physics!"

Li Meng took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and continued to spread knowledge to the editor-in-chief, "Today, the standard model of particle physics can explain the properties of all known elementary particles quite well, and also provides the basis for condensed matter physics, optics, quantum

Theories such as optics have laid a solid foundation. Dr. Lu's previous discovery of the Higgs boson falls into this category, and his discovery made the Standard Model more complete!"

"However, at the end of the 20th century, physicists discovered that two new dark clouds had covered the sky of physics, namely dark matter and dark energy!" Li Meng finally got to the point, "These two dark clouds have also become the most popular dark clouds in physics.

Among the research areas that have attracted much attention, among the eleven most important problems in physics today listed on the physics page of Disover magazine in 2002, dark matter and dark energy ranked first and second! And the origin of the universe only ranked second.

Eleventh place!”

Although he still doesn’t understand what dark matter is, his years of experience in the news industry allowed the editor to quickly grasp the focus of the problem, “So if Dr. Lu makes achievements in this field called dark matter, it won’t be the same as Einstein’s discovery.”

Comparable to the theory of relativity?”

"Well, you can't say that!" Li Meng's head was full of black lines. It's so difficult to talk to laymen! "Because we don't know what kind of things Dr. Lu can make now, so it's hard for us to do anything about his results.

Judgment, but what is certain is that if Dr. Lu finds the exact evidence of the existence of dark matter like he found the Higgs boson, then he will definitely win the Nobel Prize in the shortest time!" Li Meng said firmly.

"Then why the discovery of the Higgs boson won't win the prize, but the discovery of dark matter will win the prize?" The editor-in-chief still doesn't understand!

"This is different!" Li Meng retorted subconsciously. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was wrong. She quickly stuck out her tongue and explained to the editor, "First of all, the Nobel Prize allows up to three people to win the prize at the same time. Higgs,

Professors Engler and Brault have already filled up their quotas. Even Gerald, who predicted the God Particle almost at the same time as them -

Guralnik, Dick Hagen and Tom Kippo are not qualified to win the award, let alone Dr. Lu! Because according to the theory of Higgs and others, if the God particle really exists, he will be discovered sooner or later.

, even without Dr. Lu, LHC would still have made this discovery after a few more years. Although Dr. Lu’s work is great, it is not irreplaceable.”

"But dark matter is different! There was a complete model before the God particle was discovered. So far, the physics community has no conclusion on what dark matter should look like! If Dr. Lu really discovered dark matter, then he must first propose it.

Come up with a complete model, and then search for dark matter based on the properties predicted in the model." Li Meng tried his best to speak in words that the editor-in-chief could understand.

"If his theory is confirmed by experiments, it will be a major earthquake in the field of physics and have a profound impact on the future development of the field of physics. There will be no doubt that he will win the prize!" He said so many words in one breath,

Li Meng finally concluded this way.

"You must first have a theory, then conduct experiments based on the theory, and prove the correctness of the theory through the results of the experiments! Only in the end can you win the prize!" The editor-in-chief helped Li Meng summarize, and he now somewhat understands it. (To be continued.
