Chapter 317 - 316: Conquering Unified Force
After obtaining the research data on the Unified Force from the Mechanical Civilization.
The Wandering Alliance began integrating the research data from the Mechanical Civilization with their own, sparking an academic boom in conquering the Unified Force.
In the theoretical research on the Unified Force, the most important and core concept is naturally the unified theory that summarizes the Four Basic Forces into one entity.
This is the Basic String Theory, which has been concluded by countless scientists within the Wandering Alliance.
Speaking of Basic String Theory, this is a new theory that summarizes several versions of string theory, Superstring Theory, and M-theory.
If one wants to understand Basic String Theory, one must first understand Superstring Theory. However, the complete content of Superstring Theory is very complex, and it might take days to explain fully, so I will focus on explaining its essence and key points.
The core concept of Superstring Theory suggests that the basic particles in the universe do not, in fact, exist. For example, electrons, photons, quarks, etc., observed by scientists are all illusions; they are forms created by tiny strings in the universe vibrating. Due to the insufficiency of biological civilization’s observational technology, it is impossible to observe such small-scale vibrations. Thus, the overall state formed by these vibrations deceives us into believing they are particulate matter.
This point is very similar to the historical understanding of temperature by humans.
When human technology was not capable of observing the microscopic world, their understanding of temperature was of a fire-like material phenomenon. However, in the microscopic world, any macroscopic temperatures are mere illusions formed by particle vibration. Superstring Theory believes similarly, stating that electrons, quarks, and others are just microscopic illusions formed by string vibrations. In reality, at an even smaller scale, they are segments of open or closed strings.
This is the core concept of Superstring Theory.
In addition, there is a very important prerequisite condition for Superstring Theory.
