Chapter 284: Exploration of the Strange Mathematics of Supersymmetry

This space multi-point particle collider is a collider that integrates electrons and hadrons, but its main body or main function is still hadron collision.

One of the great hopes of the Large Hadron Collider is that it may discover supersymmetry.

It is for this reason that when the space multi-point particle collider was just about to start construction, Yue Yuan received a lot of applications for collision experiments after it was put into use.

Yes, just after the construction started, a large number of applications were made by scientists who had been thirsty for a long time.

Among these applications, the first one to be put into the experimental record was an experimental project called Exploring Supersymmetric Strange Mathematics.

That's right, it is a project jointly initiated by physicists and mathematicians to explore mathematics with a collider. Of course, it is not ordinary mathematics, but supersymmetric strange mathematics.

Supersymmetry is the symmetry that balances superstring theory, and the factor that balances superstring theory is the removal of tachyons in the theory. In other words, this jointly initiated project is not only an exploration of supersymmetric strange mathematics, but also has the hope of confirming the existence of tachyons in the theory.

At the same time, supersymmetry is also the symmetry that connects gravitons and photons, and it can also ensure the stability of the D0 membrane.

In short, the demonstration and confirmation of many cutting-edge theories and the exploration of new theories are inseparable from colliders.

The reason why we need to explore supersymmetric strange mathematics is that it is needed to describe various physical phenomena. For example, the relationship between bosons and fermions, take the Higgs fermion as an example. In theory, it is a Higgs boson moving along a certain Fermi dimension.

The Fermi dimension belongs to the extra dimension. If you want to explore the Fermi dimension, you must explore supersymmetry, because the Fermi dimension is the extra dimension in supersymmetry.

People usually use length to measure the dimensions in their cognition, and length is a number, such as 3 cm, 12 km, 4 microns, etc. People can add two lengths to get another length, or multiply two lengths to get an area.

But the extra dimensions of supersymmetry are not measured by numbers, at least not ordinary numbers. They are described by anti-easy numbers, which is the cornerstone of supersymmetric strange mathematics.

The anti-easy number plays an extremely critical role in describing fermions such as electrons, quarks, and neutrinos, such as the well-known spin.

If a person were to explain the physical quantity of spin, it would basically be described as an intrinsic property similar to rotation but not rotation. However, in the eyes of physicists, it cannot be described verbally with a description, but requires the real "Hongmeng measuring ruler" - mathematics.

The reason why strange mathematics is related to it is because of the Fermi dimension description of spin.

When a certain existence enters a Fermi dimension, it can only move at a "speed", and this so-called "speed" itself is just a rough analogy of what is moving in the Fermi dimension. Another appropriate term is spin.

Although spin is an intrinsic property of particles, it also has size differences. Moving in a Fermi dimension means that the spin is stronger than not moving.

The rotation of a gyroscope can be larger or smaller, depending on how much force is used before releasing it, but elementary particles can only have specific spins, such as the Higgs boson has no spin, the electron has the smallest spin, the photon's spin must be parallel to its direction of motion, the graviton's spin is twice the photon's spin, and so on.

As the saying goes, a mountain looks like a peak from a distance, and the height is different from the distance. If humans want to truly understand a particle or a physical phenomenon, they need to observe it from all aspects.

Among all aspects, there is one aspect related to supersymmetry research.

And if you want to explore supersymmetry, you must have the tool of strange mathematics, because the Fermi dimension is difficult to be described by other tools. Only mathematical laws such as anti-commutation and Fermi multiplication in strange mathematics can describe it.

For example, in ordinary mathematics, we have a and b. If we add or multiply them, we will get a set of formulas a+a=2a, 2(a+b)=2a+2b, a+b=b+a. These operations are applicable to most algebraic rules, but not to Fermi quantities.

It requires another set of strange operation rules, such as the formulas a*b=-b*a, a*a=0, b*b=0, where a represents a movement along the Fermi dimension and b represents the second movement along the Fermi dimension. If you want to represent an object trying to move along a Fermi dimension twice, it is expressed as a*a. The equation a*a=0 means that this movement is not allowed.

So what is the use of studying this thing? Then we have to talk about supersymmetry again. As mentioned earlier, supersymmetry is the symmetry that balances superstring theory, and it does this by cutting off tachyons.

And tachyons are the only particles in human physics theory that can exceed the speed of light after the road to quantum entanglement and long-distance communication is blocked.

The ghostly quantum entanglement has been proven to be unusable for long-distance communication, so the only hope left is the mysterious tachyon.

So this exploration of the strange mathematics of supersymmetry is actually a way for humans to explore tachyons.

Of course, there may be more than one way.

The world is not perfectly supersymmetric, and everyone knows this after the weak interaction parity violation was confirmed.

But the research on supersymmetry will not stop because of this, because many scientists believe that the limitations of many theories may be due to the limitations of human cognition and exploration tools. People can only use one Another phenomenon that peeps into the nature of everything in the universe from one angle after another. I believe that as long as you peep from enough angles, you will be able to fully understand the essence behind each physical theory.

Isn’t that what the so-called theory of everything is like?

The space multi-point particle collider, which is now under construction, is one of the keys for mankind to explore the truth.

Perhaps tachyons and the grand unified theory are still far away for humans. After all, they can only be mastered by the legendary fourth-level civilization. However, this is not the case with nanotechnology. Humans can completely use the collider to once again peep into the mysteries of the deeper microscopic world.

The standard technology of the third-level civilization, nanotechnology, and the thought imprinting technology that humans have already set up research on. Although humans have no clue yet, they must be related to the microscopic quantum field. If the collider can knock out something, maybe It is not certain that some relevant theories will emerge.

The science and technology trees are interconnected, and many scientific theories have a certain relationship. In short, people attach great importance to this unprecedented large collider, and the new government has great expectations for it.

Of course, it is very difficult to build such a huge collider. According to engineers' speculation, it is conservatively estimated that it will take two hundred years to complete from the moment construction begins.
