Feynman conjecture
An electron!
It's not that Hawking didn't know this theory.
What is an electron theory? It means that since the Big Bang, everything in the entire universe is composed of one electron. Who proposed this?
Feynman!
Who is Feynman? American physicist, professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology, winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics. His most famous scientific research achievement is that in 1942, the 24-year-old Feynman joined the U.S. atomic bomb research project team and participated in the secret
The "Manhattan Project" to develop the atomic bomb.
The Manhattan Project, also known as the atomic bomb project. Einstein's theory of relativity proved that mass can be converted into energy. The conversion between tiny substances can release huge amounts of energy. He also wrote the famous formula: e=mc^2
.
But it was Feynman who developed the atomic bomb, making this formula truly achievable. Feynman was also rated as the wisest theoretical physicist after Einstein and the first person to propose the concept of nanometers.
.
In addition to Feynman's first time, he also proposed an antimatter conjecture.
Feynman derived two solutions from Maxwell's equations and found that mathematically, a negative electron traveling forward in time is the same as a positron traveling retrograde in time. In other words, antimatter is just traveling retrograde in time.
That is, it is just positive matter moving from the future to the past. The cancellation and annihilation of antimatter and positive matter is essentially a sudden U-turn of positive matter on the time axis, returning to the past and turning into antimatter at the same time. (That is, the antimatter 2 minutes ago, in
The cancellation of the positive matter 1 minute ago means that the positive matter started to retrograde in time 1 minute ago and turned into antimatter. The antimatter you saw 2 minutes ago is just the positive matter that went retrograde on the timeline.
.)
The even more shocking theory is that Feynman solved the fundamental particle problem that has troubled the physics community for many years: why everything in the world, from galaxies to atoms, exhibit different properties, such as the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, and I*
*, Hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms are not exactly the same individuals. However, electrons are an exception. There are no "big electrons", "small electrons", "sexy electrons", and "tall, handsome and rich in electrons" in the world, and you can't either
Carve words on an electron and give it to your girlfriend. The infinite number of electrons that make up everything in the universe are exactly the same, and there is no difference.
Feynman perfectly explained this problem with his antimatter hypothesis: Since the moment of the Big Bang, there was only one electron in the entire universe. Yes, there are countless stars and matter in the huge space of the entire universe.
, are actually just clones of this electron in different time and space. It started from the big bang, moved forward on the time axis, until the end of the universe, then turned back and turned into a positron, retrograde in time, and traveled retrograde to the universe.
At the beginning of its birth. In this endless cycle, this electron appears at every point on the time axis and in every corner of the universe. From our perspective in the three-dimensional world, space is filled with countless
Exhausted electrons make up everything in the world.
In fact, they include ourselves, your parents and relatives, your lover, the dog you raise, the dog's shit, the endless flow of people in Manhattan, the silent no man's land of Taklimakan, the nightless city of Lan Kwai Fong with singing and dancing birds, and Twenty Thousand Miles Under the Sea.
That endlessly lonely plesiosaur, everything is the same, it is just a clone of the same electron that has traveled forward and backward countless times. The entire universe is just such a single electron, going from the chaos of heaven and earth to the destruction of the universe, and then back again.
Go back and start over again, over and over again.
This is also called the "theory of cosmic loneliness", which means that the universe is lonely. All of us are lonely. All living beings are lonely!
Of course, this antimatter conjecture has indeed solved many unresolved issues in the universe, but at the same time, it also has some things that cannot be explained.
For example: In addition to electrons, this world also has protons, neutrons, and quarks. These cannot be explained by an electron theory. Moreover, it is still open to question whether this theory was proposed by Feynman. After all, Feynman
He passed away in 1988. This article was only circulated in the early 1990s.
Although it was published in the name of Feynman, it is hard to say whether it is a Feynman manuscript. Hawking is also very interested in this antimatter conjecture. This theory does have its advantages, but there are also
Many problems have not been solved.
Therefore, after Hawking studied it for a period of time, he ignored it. After all, Hawking's main research now is still on black holes, and a series of various theoretical conjectures such as the resulting space-time machine.
But this time, Nuwa proposed an electron theory, which made Hawking very curious. In particular, he was very interested in what Nuwa saw or felt after she woke up from the 'singularity explosion'.
What happened? In this world, there should be no one who has experienced more and seen more than Nuwa.
To a certain extent, Nuwa can be regarded as experiencing a big bang. She lived from the previous universe to the present one. What did she see?
"Mr. Hawking, I wonder if you have heard of this theory: Suppose we project a figure, then we can get a parallel polygon. Assuming that this parallel polygon is a universe, then this two-dimensional plane figure is a three-dimensional space
"Projection, then everything in three-dimensional space may be a projection of four dimensions (assuming the fourth dimension is time). Therefore, all matter in the universe at each time scale may not be the projection of a certain particle in all space and time." Nuwa explained.
explain.
Hawking nodded. He was naturally clear about this 'projection theory'. Many scholars also believe that our universe may be a spatial projection of a certain four-dimensional universe.
But the sad thing is that everything we see, hear, and think is only at one moment, and "living" is just living in the moment; for example, a person's life is composed of countless moments, and his life is composed of countless moments.
It is impossible to realize that the world he perceives is actually just a four-dimensional projection of a particle, just as it is impossible for a person on a plane to perceive a three-dimensional world.
Therefore, we may never be able to perceive the same four-dimensional universe.
