Chapter 9 The field that distorts the starry sky
"Aren't the stars always moving?"
Hao Xiaoxi said doubtfully.
"It's not the stars that are moving, but the earth that's moving." The scientist explained succinctly. "Due to the revolution and rotation of the earth, the stars in the sky look like they are moving."
The movement of stars is measured in units of ten thousand years, which is almost stationary for humans with short life spans.
Hao Xiaoxi asked: "So you mean, those stars are really starting to move now?"
The scientist said seriously: "That's right!"
"Observation results show that in just a few days, stars in the direction of Centauri have undergone large-scale displacements, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of light-years."
Hao Xiaoxi was surprised and said: "Are the observation results credible?"
A displacement of hundreds of thousands of light years occurs in a few days, and it is a large celestial body. It is simply appalling!
"Those stars are right above our heads, and even ordinary astronomy enthusiasts can see them clearly." Scientists are also puzzled. "They reach tens of millions of times the speed of light during regular navigation, which completely violates the theory of relativity."
Einstein proposed the mass-energy equation in his theory of relativity.
E=MC
This equation is considered a milestone in physics.
Among them, E is energy, M is mass, and C is the speed of light. Simply put, all matter has hidden energy equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.
A stationary object has all its energy deposited in its stationary mass.
To move this stationary object, kinetic energy must be provided to the object, and according to the mass-energy equation, this kinetic energy will cause the object's mass to increase.
When the speed of an object reaches 0.9 times the speed of light, its mass will double. As the speed further approaches the speed of light, the energy required for acceleration increases explosively, and the mass of the object will also increase crazily.
Finally, when the speed of light approaches infinitely, the energy required reaches infinity, and the mass of the object will also reach infinity.
But there is no infinite energy in the real universe, and there cannot be objects with infinite mass. Therefore, the mass-energy equation tells humans that only things without mass can reach the speed of light, and the speed of light is the speed limit.
But recent observations completely break this iron law.
A celestial body with thirty zeros behind it in terms of weight has covered a distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years in just a few days. It is like tap dancing on the theory of relativity!
"Then our wandering earth plan."
The destination of the wandering earth is the Centaur constellation, but judging from the current situation, the earth blindly heading towards the Centaur constellation is undoubtedly seeking death.
After all, no one wants to be hit by a star traveling at tens of millions of times the speed of light.
Hao Xiaoxi's thoughts fell into chaos for a moment.
The scientist sighed: "We are mobilizing all resources and hope to find a reasonable explanation."
Ever since the space station crashed fourteen years ago, things that violate scientific common sense have been photographed on human desks one after another.
Fourteen years have passed, and they still haven't figured out what happened to the ghost. The celestial body in the Centaur constellation has traveled tens of millions of times the speed of light. Now the entire circle of scientists is plunged into self-doubt.
Does physics not exist at all?
Or is there a hidden advanced civilization that suddenly appeared in recent decades?
what is going on?
what is going on?
what is going on?
Everyone's minds are full of questions, but at this moment they can only wait for the results of further investigations.
A few days later.
"We compared the observation data from multiple observatories around the world, combined with images from the space station and deep space exploration satellites, and finally found that the coordinates of the same star at different observation points are different."
"We figured out the problem."
The scientist said with a complicated expression.
Hao Xiaoxi asked hesitantly: "What's the problem?"
The scientist replied: "Between us and the Centaur constellation, for some reason a strange field appears, and the light is distorted when passing through this field."
"This field has emerged in the last few days."
"So we observe that the stars in the constellation Centauri move hundreds of thousands of light-years over these days."
Hao Xiaoxi nodded in understanding.
"But why is this?"
she asked.
The scientist shook his head: "I don't know, but the earth is getting closer to this field."
"The ghost pushed away the moon, which created a huge reaction force on the earth. This reaction force is pushing the earth in the direction of the field."
Hao Xiao frowned: "Can you stop?"
They know nothing about this field. Who knows what will happen if the earth crashes into it?
"can not stop."
"Planetary engines are all on the back side of the earth. Turning on the engines now can only accelerate the earth. But if we want to turn the engines to the other side, it will take us at least three years."
"But we only have three days left."
