As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 234 High Dimensional Space and Dark Matter
Since the discovery of the soul, its research has remained hot.

However, studying the soul also costs money. In recent years, the prices of organisms involved in soul research have skyrocketed.

The prices of popular experimental monkeys and monkeys captured through various channels have increased at least tenfold.

Animal protection associations in various countries have publicly called on scientific institutions and large companies not to take arbitrarily action against animals for their own interests.

Not only have the prices of experimental monkeys skyrocketed, but the prices of canine creatures that can observe souls have also skyrocketed.

Faced with this phenomenon, universities without sufficient funds cannot afford to conduct soul-related experiments.

Not to mention that going deeper would require the use of a particle accelerator, and there are very few particle accelerators with sufficient power in the world.

Europa's particle accelerator is just the largest particle accelerator, not the only one.

However, due to the concept of the soul, human research on it is still at a very superficial level.

Therefore, some papers with unique understanding and thinking will be accepted by top journals even without data support.

Top journals such as CNS encourage similar behavior, to the extent that the articles about the soul published in these journals are jokingly called scientific fantasy by the academic community.

Of course your theory needs to be self-consistent and within the basic framework of reality.

You can't just publish an article on CNS if you have random thoughts.

The conjecture proposed by Witten is a guess based on his deep understanding of string theory, and he even has some inspiration on how to prove this point - the soul exists in six-dimensional space that cannot be observed by humans.

It will take time to design the experiment completely and cleverly.

Jean-Pierre said: "Maybe it's dark matter. Dark matter exists in another dimension."

Witten nodded and said, “We have always had similar speculations, and I believe that the scientists in the European Union also have similar speculations.

That is, dark matter exists in a higher dimension, and the magic brain can open up the connection between human will and higher dimensions."

In fact, this conjecture is already very close to the essence of magic, but the scientists on Blue Star currently do not have the technical means and experiments to prove this.

And their theory needs further improvement.

For example, the blue planet has gravity. People had proposed similar ideas before Newton, but it was not until Newton that it was fully summarized into formulas and laws.

It was more than two hundred years later that Einstein described gravity as a geometric property of space-time - curvature - through his general theory of relativity.

This space-time curvature, the energy-momentum tensor of matter and radiation in space-time are interrelated, and the connecting equation is the Einstein field equation.

The knowledge of Blue Star scientists about the nature of magic is at best a guess, and it can even be said that the mages of the Mage Alliance do not fully and thoroughly understand the nature of magic.

The Mage Alliance's theory of magic still has a lot to add and improve.

Witten continued: “I’ve always thought that gravity is affected by other dimensions.

Otherwise it would be impossible for gravity to be weaker than the other three fundamental forces.”

Gravity is weaker than the electromagnetic force and the other two nuclear forces.

"We all know that the universe is expanding, and that it is expanding at an accelerating rate.

The fundamental reason for the accelerated expansion is "dark energy".

I think there are one or more additional dimensions in the universe that are only apparent on very large scales and that are causing the acceleration of the universe.

Light and matter are confined to the four dimensions we are familiar with, but gravity can 'leak' into other dimensions.

So gravity gets slightly weaker as we look farther away, but light isn't affected by the extra dimensions.

At the same time, the gravitational waves we directly observed a few years ago can prove this point very well. It is precisely because gravity leaks into other dimensions that the amplitude of the gravitational waves we observed has weakened. "

The past few years refer to the major events in the astronomical community in 2017, when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected gravitational waves that Einstein predicted to exist more than a hundred years ago.

And that gravitational wave was caused by the slow merger of two neutron stars, and it also brought about a short gamma-ray burst.

Although the short gamma-ray burst lasted only two seconds, it was facing the blue star when it was emitted and was directly observed by NASA's Fermi Space Telescope.

Most mathematicians have a certain understanding of physics, especially quantum physics, which mathematicians use as reading materials to refresh their brains in their spare time.

Not to mention top mathematicians like Wiles and Jean-Pierre.

Pierre paused for a moment and then said, “This is not enough evidence, the connection is too weak.

The reason why the amplitude of gravitational wave observations is weakened is not just the explanation that gravity goes to other dimensions. "

Wei Teng smiled and said, “In fact, we have found more convincing evidence, but it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being.

Once we have established a formal partnership, the relevant content will gradually be opened to you.”

About a hundred years ago, astronomer Zewicki discovered while studying galaxy clusters that in order to prevent individual galaxies from escaping from a huge galaxy cluster, there must be a large amount of invisible matter providing an additional source of gravity.

Later, humans called these invisible substances dark matter.

Although people know that this is dark matter, there has been no consensus on what dark matter is, whether it is one substance or multiple substances.

Dark matter performs well in explaining large-scale structures, such as galaxy clusters, which means that the speculation and observation results are highly consistent.

However, if only individual galaxies are rotating, the curve predictions for this type of matter will not quite match the observations.

After becoming a wizard, Witten developed a special interest in dark matter and high-dimensional space.

Because in his opinion, these things can truly prove from the material world the string theory he has studied for his entire life.

In addition, the emergence of magic gave Witten some inspiration. He had a hunch that through magic he could directly design an experiment to link dark matter and high-dimensional space.

But now we have to start with the basics, that is, to understand what dark matter is.

Witten established a complete set of mathematical models to prove the existence of dark matter.

In his theory, in cold, high-density environments, dark matter condenses into a superfluid, a quantum state of exotic matter with zero viscosity.

If dark matter forms a superfluid in individual galaxies, then in galaxy clusters only normal cold dark matter exists.

Dark matter is definitely not composed of just massive weakly interacting particles, it needs to be composed of at least four types of particles.

Witten’s main job now is to find out all the particles contained in dark matter.

The superfluid state theory he constructed perfectly matches the observations of astronomers.

What we need to do now is to make further progress in the basic research of dark matter.

Also think about how to design the experiment.

For the first time, Witten felt that he could prove the correctness of M theory in his lifetime.

I originally thought that this problem could only be left to future generations to solve.

The three of them talked about a lot of science-related issues, but they just stayed on the surface and didn't go into detail. When they mentioned Merlin, everyone looked helpless, "Maybe Merlin can hear every word we say now.

Even laughing at how shallow human wisdom is.”

“Since Merlin is willing to give magic to the Blue Star people and has shown a willingness to cooperate, he must have a certain degree of affirmation towards humans.

If he believed that humans were shallow in intelligence, he would not be so friendly to them, but would focus on controlling and intimidating them instead. "

"Have you ever thought that he doesn't have the ability?"

"Even if we don't have the ability to openly fight against the entire Blue Star civilization, it is entirely possible to accumulate energy and develop power in some marginal areas.

With the power displayed by magic, Merlin only needs to control some key figures to allow the area under his jurisdiction to expand infinitely.

But Merlin didn't do that, which is enough to show his lawfulness."

The vast majority of Magic Brain users have a positive attitude towards Merlin, and believe that he is someone with whom they can definitely communicate because he is willing to share magic.

Even within America, there were many different opinions on the anonymous replacement behavior.

America hoped to win over the Europa Alliance and disrupt the cooperation between China and the Europa Alliance, but in the end it neither succeeded nor failed.

American wanted too much from the life-extending potion, which was unacceptable to the Europa League, and the two sides were unable to reach an agreement.

This is especially true when compared with China.

However, the two sides have other plans to cooperate in the field of dark matter observation, and at the same time cooperate on Axion, hoping to observe the existence of Axion in the material world.

Axions are hypothetical particles that exist in physicists' imaginations. These particles are extremely light and can theoretically form Bose-Einstein condensates.

Because in Witten's theoretical system, Axions will be an important component of dark matter, and Axions will combine with special massive weakly interacting particles to form a superfluid.

Axion is another bridge between dark matter and the universe.

The European Alliance has profound attainments in quantum mechanics. After all, the founders of quantum mechanics were all Europeans.

Scientists previously believed that dark matter was not any ordinary object or particle we are familiar with, but was composed of a new type of particle.

This particle interacts weakly with ordinary particles.

Large amounts of dark matter particles travel through space and can even penetrate the Earth.

But Witten's conjecture is that dark matter consists of more than one type of particle, but at least four types of particles.

Therefore, they speculate that there will be some dark matter particles leaving traces around us.

Physicists from the Europa Alliance once placed the crystal in a cryogenic detector, buried deep underground to block out the noise caused by ordinary particles, waiting for energy and flash signals in the detector.

The hope is that these signals will reveal the whereabouts of those unknown particles.

In the Fréjus road tunnel under the French Alps, a dark matter detection device is located 1.7 kilometers underground, but no results have been found so far.

Physicists believe that magic is needed to transform dark matter detection equipment to further narrow the parameter range.

Magic is used to combine soul particles and materials. As for the specific implementation steps, I will not go into details here.

These do not affect the cooperation between the Europa Alliance and China, because the cooperation agreement they signed with America only remains at the quantum physics level.

It does not involve the replenishment of life-extending potions.

China had anticipated this, and they did not expect the European Union to really reach more cooperative relations with them.

It's already good enough to make a fortune on the life-extending potion.

The Europa League clearly wants to sit on the fence between America and China to see who offers better conditions.

As soon as the American team left the Europa League, the European League sent people to China.

They said they wanted to purchase biological storage technology, and that American's offer was for the ownership of four magic coins. If China offered three magic coins, they would place the order in seconds.

China is not stupid and is thinking about bargaining. The problem is that there are stupid people.

The Europa League was secretly planning to take action, and it also sent another secret team to Russia.

At the same time, we also gave an offer to Russia.

Russia finally agreed to sell the biological storage technology to the Europa Union for three magic coins.

As for why Russia agreed, it was because the intelligence they received showed that both America and China had made offers.

As the weaker party, how can we transfer the technology to others without making certain concessions?

Russia would also be thinking that the highest price offered by America is only five magic coins. If China's offer is lowered by one, Russia would lower its offer by one more.

The Europa League also took advantage of the situation and exchanged the biological storage technology from Russia for three magic coins.

After figuring it out, the Europa Union immediately established its own biological storage technology company.

Seeing this, American realized that the duck that was about to be captured had flown away. If it didn't find someone to take over, it would not be able to sell the technology.

Thinking of looking for Neon to take over, it's time for Neon to take action.

I can't have raised it for nothing for so many years.

The world situation in the first half of 2025 is exceptionally quiet. Readers who often read political and economic news will have the illusion that they are reading news from ten years ago.

It's all news about politicians from various countries flying around.

Magic is getting less and less space in the media.

Many similar programs about visiting civilians with supernatural powers have been launched abroad, but after two or three years, no one with real abilities has been found.

It's almost become a science.

The real magicians are all hidden away, and countries will never let them out to participate in public programs.

He can’t even give public interviews, let alone perform in public.

Just like after Witten performed the flame magic, the Europa League bought the biological storage technology from Russia.

Then he quickly reproduced the fire technique demonstrated by Witten.

If you dare to display it in public, other countries will be able to reverse-engineer it in minutes.

If I can’t break Merlin’s magic, I can’t break yours?
The general public's enthusiasm for magic remains high, and magic-related artifacts are frequently auctioned at high prices.

"Merlin: Children of Beasts", a film specially produced by Warner Bros. based on the Harry Potter world view, was released worldwide at the end of May and triggered a viewing craze as soon as it was released.

I try to write it in a simple and easy-to-understand way. If you still don't understand, it's the author's problem, not yours.
